I sure am proud of Cotton and the other Senators who are standing up for over 70% of the American people who are scared to death of the deal these fools (Obama And Kerry)....in their desperation for a Legacy...are going to make with religious lunatics who have been cheating each other trading rugs for 2500 years.
The deal should be submitted to Congress...Obama plans not to do so....Fuck Obama.
“So, Republicans hate this Democratic President so much that they are even willing to pen a letter to someone they consider an enemy of ours.”
Yes... but it wasn't to obama, it was to the people obama reports to... . And they were tellign those douche-bags, that obama does not speak for the United States. And that any deal obama makes with them, is a waste of paper or even server space, as it has no chance of becoming formalized as, the United States is never going to allow Iran to get Nuclear Weapons.
But int heir defense, that's because they're Americans and THAT is how we ROLL!
Without Reagan's Treason, Iran Would Not Be a Problem
Bani-Sadr was a moderate and, as heexplained in an editorial for The Christian Science Monitorearlier this year, had successfully run for President on the popular position of releasing the hostages:
"I openly opposed the hostage-taking throughout the election campaign.... I won the election with over 76 percent of the vote.... Other candidates also were openly against hostage-taking, and overall, 96 percent of votes in that election were given to candidates who were against it [hostage-taking]."
Carter was confident that with Bani-Sadr's help, he could end the embarrassing hostage crisis that had been a thorn in his political side ever since it began in November of 1979.
But Carter underestimated the lengths his opponent in the 1980 Presidential election, California Governor Ronald Reagan, would go to screw him over.
Behind Carter's back, the Reagan campaignworked out a dealwith the leader of Iran's radical faction - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini - to keep the hostages in captivity until after the 1980 Presidential election.
This was nothing short of treason. The Reagan campaign's secret negotiations with Khomeini - the so-called "October Surprise" - sabotaged Carter and Bani-Sadr's attempts to free the hostages. And as Bani-Sadrtold The Christian Science Monitor in Marchof this year, they most certainly "tipped the results of the [1980] election in Reagan's favor."
I accept white boy's surrender...

Republicans apparently acting like Democrats, but for different reasons.Republicans Warn Iran -- and Obama -- That Deal Won t Last - Bloomberg View
A group of 47 Republican senators has written an open letter to Iran's leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obama's administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.Organized by freshman Senator Tom Cotton and signed by the chamber's entire party leadership as well as potential 2016 presidential contenders Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the letter is meant not just to discourage the Iranian regime from signing a deal but also to pressure the White House into giving Congress some authority over the process.
“It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system … Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement,” the senators wrote. “The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”
Arms-control advocates and supporters of the negotiations argue that the next president and the next Congress will have a hard time changing or canceling any Iran deal -- -- which is reportedly near done -- especially if it is working reasonably well.
Well, this is new, even in the world of the GOP batshit-crazy. This really does one-up it all. It's also kind of funny that there is a constitutional error in what the Senators wrote to the government of Iran. The Senate does NOT ratify treaties. That is even indicated directly on their Senate website. Instead, the Senate takes up a resolution of ratification, by which the Senate formally gives its advice and consent, empowering the president to proceed with ratification” . It's a fine point, almost splitting hairs, but worth noting.
So, Republicans hate this Democratic President so much that they are even willing to pen a letter to someone they consider an enemy of ours.
Back to the Bloomberg link:
It's stunning. And it's a rebuke on an international stage that doesn't really have a precedent. Imagine Democrats micro-managing the START talks in the 80s by sending an open letter to Gorbachev? It just wouldn't have been viewed as an acceptable political move while the talks were still happening.
The only conclusion we can make is that the GOP is not the loyal opposition, it is a severly disloyal opposition and deserves to be treated with disdain and contempt for such unamerican behavior. The GOP simply hates America, it's that simple.
Really?Since there are actually six parties in the negotations (not including Iran), I wonder what the signatories to this letter think they are achieving except empty bluster.
They're letting the six parties know that any agreement which potentially provides for Iran to secure Nuclear weapons is not going to be something the US is going to allow.
But in fairness... that's only because allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, is INSANE!
The US won't allow it?
What if the other signatories to the treaty disagree with the US' assessment when the time comes...Russia, China, Germany, UK, France?
We don't care what the other countries say about it.
If Iran gets Nuclear weapons, we'll destroy them... and if the UN tries to sanction us, we'll laugh an laugh and veto it... and get up the next morning, shower, shave and go to work... having rested assured that the lunatics of Iran's Islamic Cult can't send a Nuclear warhead to evaporate Tel Aviv.
See how that works?

The Bibi speech was borderline, but this letter is WAY the fuck over the line.
So now, what is ANY country supposed to think of ANY thing that ANY President does at ANY time?

It's clear, btw, that Congress doesn't trust Obama.
Well, for better or worse, the Pubs have served notice that they plan to overturn much of Obumble's work, if they win in 2016.
To say nothing of the fact that Obama was elected (twice) by the American people to be their commander in chief. And they have done nothing but subvert that command and the will of the people from day one. Some would call that treason.
Good student, you Finally found out we are not a democracy, you finally figured out the definition.of the UNITED STATES of americaI sure am proud of Cotton and the other Senators who are standing up for over 70% of the American people who are scared to death of the deal these fools (Obama And Kerry)....in their desperation for a Legacy...are going to make with religious lunatics who have been cheating each other trading rugs for 2500 years.

No. That is a lie.
The GOP won in 2014 by 6 points, and only 36% of the registered electorate came out.
the GOP has only 54% of the Senate and most of those seats are from states, which, when combined, represent LESS THAN 50% of the US Population. Alone, the populations of the GOP's 8 smallest states is smaller than Los Angeles County alone. That makes for 16 GOP senators who represent states that are collectively smaller than the 2nd largest city in the USA.
So, no, your statement is statistically, factually, a lie. A bald faced lie.
No only that, what Tom Cotton did, he did just to set himself apart from the Freshman crowd. It is seditious at best and treasonous at worst, and even class-action lawsuits could be the result of these antics.
