Never again!
...until next time.
Al Fanken on the Intelligence Committee. Hmmm.
Well, he’s not Jewish, and I canot think of many times I have ever agreed with him, but today I am applauding democratic Senator Menendez:
I have looked into my own soul and my devotion to principle may once again lead me to an unpopular course, but if Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it, Menendez said in a major address Tuesday afternoon.
It is for these reasons that I will vote to disapprove the agreement and, if called upon, would vote to override a veto, Menendez said.
Menendez joins a growing list of Democratic lawmakers expressing opposition to the deal. including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.).
God grant, for the sake of our nation, and for the sake of Israel, that more and more do so and oppose and kill this dangerous scheme of the quisling Administration.
Al Franken is a clown, though not funny until he became a congresscritter.
“Menendez joins a growing list of Democratic lawmakers expressing opposition to the deal. including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.).”
Menendez IS the list. All the others support Obama but they are vote counting and protecting their turf.
“God grant, for the sake of our nation, and for the sake of Israel, that more and more do so and oppose and kill this dangerous scheme of the quisling Administration.”
They had the votes counted the day Obama signed the bill allowing Congress to vote on the deal.
Al Franken is a clown, though not funny until he became a congresscritter.
The senate seat he has was stolen and he knows it. All those that stole it can rot.
Any American Jew, political or otherwise, that supports the Obama/Kerry/Clinton iran Nuclear Bomb Agreement is a traitor to both the USA & Israel!!! I guess they learned absolutely nothing from Adolf Hitler and his NAZI vermin!!! They will painfully learn the lesson once again, when Iran comes to the USA & Israel to slaughter them, their children and all their families!!! Sad days for the American Republic & her people!!! Obama is with our sworn enemies!!!
The Capo wing of the Democrat Party.
Schumer has also come out against it.
“Schumer has also come out against it.”
Total posturing. He will make sure that Obama gets the votes needed in the Senate.
Get real, it is all posturing. They will ensure that they are a couple of votes short when the 2/3rds is required to override His Arrogance’s veto. Just cover to ensure that the locals think they actually care. I would suspect that most of them are “secular non-practicing Jews” and only pull on the mantle of Jewishness around election time.
This was a done deal the minute Feinstein signed on.
We have enough crazy leftist Jewish politicians here to fill an insane asylum.
I, for one, will contribute to building them their rubber rooms, complete with Kosher meals, inside an escape-proof prison.
These are the worst Jewish politicians in American history, even superseding those from the 1970’s, including communist traitors like Bella Abzug and fools like Ben Rosenthal.
Ah, very smart, they must be remembering that the Nazi’s left the secular nonpracticing jews alone. I’m sure the muslims will do the same.
When it comes to the ME, screw them and their desert neighborhood. No more US invovement as the big daddy wasting our lives and resources.
Iran hates ISIS. Turn them loose on ISIS. We need to get out of the Middle East and focus on making America great again. The Middle East needs to fix their own neighborhood, and we need to fix America. No more wars for US in the Middle East. Let those who live there deal with it on their own.
Yet another example of lesser evil republicans catering to Dems. Or Outright SUPPORTING them. Everyone knew that election was a farce from the moment the votes were counted. And the GOP did nothing but put on a show.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
