Harry Reid endorses Iran deal, boosts chances Congress won’t block it
Wash Post ^ | August 23 2015

Posted on 08/23/2015 1:45:13 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid gave a forceful endorsement Sunday to the nuclear deal with Iran, a key boost that provides continued momentum for preventing Congress from blocking President Obama’s pact.

The Nevada Democrat said the deal, which lifts economic sanctions against the rogue nation for pledges to limit its nuclear program, is the “best way” to curtail Iran’s military ambitions, and he pledged to round up more support to thwart its opponents.

“I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure the deal stands,” he said in a telephone interview with The Washington Post from his home in Henderson, Nev., where he has been calling friends to tell them of his decision.

Uh, ‘Harry - the exercise machine abuser - Reid’ will support the clown-chief’s abortion of an Iran deal is news?

I really am starting to refuse the governance of the freaks.

This assures:

1. Huge foreign policy success for Obama - to be taught in US schools for decades, on par with Nixon's "China" as Obama's enduring legacy (Iran's or Israel's actions notwithstanding)

2. Nobel Peace Prize for John Kerry

A friend told Dirty Harry that Romney hadn't paid taxes in years.A friend told *me* that Dirty Harry's well know to Las Vegas Metro Police for “befriending” young boys in the men's rooms of McCarran International Airport.

Well, if Harry is for it, it will not be long before McConnell comes around. I figure late September with a lot of sturm und drang, Kabuli Theater, wailing, gnashing of teeth and political posturing the Iran deal will pass. No veto needed.

Then we hear the usual. “We must get the White House to prevent this sort of thing”. “We only have the congress and not by enough to sustain a veto”. Same as we heard in 2010, 2012, 2014. As Rush pointed out Friday. If we do elect one of the establishment Republican President, the 2017-18 excuse will be, “The media is controlled by the Democrats.”
**** **** & the horse they rode in on.

Lol, this is news? Hell the fool isn’t running again and from the looks of him he’ll be dead in a couple of yrs anyway so what does he care.

Chicken neck McConnel needs to use the nuclear option here.

I think we all should find and send to this pussy pictures of a scrotum and advise him to grow one.

There was never a chance that Congress could or would block it. If enough Members oppose the Deal that they could shoot it down, certain members will be assigned to vote for the thing whatever their inclinations and they will. If Congress did vote it down 100% it would make no difference. Hussein will simply order the terms to be carried out and neither Congress or the Court will move to stop him. They have already ceded their powers to the Sultan. Congress now exists as an advisory body only.

This is why Americans must make sure we win in 2016. We need an American president who will shut down the “deal”. The Kenyan and Old Horseface are going to get us all fried.

Who. Supported by whom would be a correct construction. when in doubt use “who.” It may be wrong but to 99% of everybody it doesn’t sound awkward. I’ll still tweak it, though.(:>)|

Harry is just doing what Vizier Valery tells him to do and Eunuch McConnell is eager to do.

Well, the real Senate Majority Leader has spoken. Too bad his brother didn’t finish the job.
