#1 Make them vote against voting on it, and make them do it on September 11th. You'll see how strong their "party over country" principle stays.

The ads write themselves for next fall. It also means the "agreement" is nothing once Obama's out of office.

#3 I agree with Frank. Force the Veto and the votes to support the veto. Put everyone on public record for how they voted and let them explain come election time.

Elected officials represent the people, not the President and certainly not the Iranians.

#4 Why wouldn't they force a vote? The issue of Iran getting nukes is too trivial to was the Senate's precious time?

#5 Blame this all on GOP McConnel and GOPP Corker. They passed the law that gave Obama the power to do the Iran deal in advance and avoid a normal vote for approval instead of a vote for disapproval. This one was in the bag for Obama a long time ago thatnks to McCOnnel's leadership and that fucking weasel Corker.

Tennessee - you know what to do - get rid of Corker.

#6 Nice campaign issue for the GOP - have the candidates state NOW what they intend to do, if elected, with this miscarriage of foreign policy. The Donald might have a bit of fun with this.

#7 These politicians think that all this stuff is politics and fun. It is life and death stuff. What O&Co has done is to write up a non-enforceable joint action plan that Iran MMs will not abide by, and give them frozen funds up front, in effect. They reward bad behavior and let them go. The MMs have signed their own death warrant, because Israel will NOT commit national suicide, but will do whatever it takes to defend themselves against repeated threats to wipe out them and their nation.

I consider McConnell and Corker almost as evil as the MMs. It is disgusting. O is a symptom and Congress is the problem.

#8 Corkhole is an embarrassment to all Tennesseans, OS. The Chattanooga Chigger will have to be beaten in the primary to get rid of him.
