Let me get this straight:
1. A treaty entails a majority of the Senate to approve. Since there has not been revealed yet the full verbiage, this treaty is not a treaty.
2. The Dems under Reid threw the filibuster under the bus so they could get their way. As soon as the GOP came to power, it gave the filibuster back so the Dems could block oh so many things.
Why is this so difficult for the GOP powers to comprehend?
This is a deal for IRAN, not the U.S. It's time everyone WAKE UP and realize Iranian-born Jarrett started these negotiations IN SECRET to protect Iran from Israel and GIVE IRAN COVER TO BUILD NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
The enemies in the White House should be arrested and tried for treason. SOME of us Americans KNOW whose side they're on, AND IT'S NOT OUR SIDE.
Is there any reason that any Senator could not submit the Iran deal as a treaty for an up or down 2/3 vote?
Lets take another that voted with depraved indifference to elect them.
No matter what. Lesser evil.
This is ‘what’.
Can the GOP (real conservatives) still block the actual funds released of lifting the sanctions?
Save your breath and stop worrying about “elections”
Democrats still run the senate.
This bill has the approval of the GOP leadership. McConnell and his allies are in the tank for Obama. His playing the long suffering victim of the administration is theater for the media to feed to the peasants.
Why is this so difficult for the GOP powers to comprehend?

Because it is, and forever will be, The Stupid Party.
Time for the “nuclear option”.
Seems like it was designed just for this.
The very same statement can be made about every Republican Senator except Tome Cotton.
Every one of them.
They are co-conspirators pretending to be representative of us by stirring emotion when the deal was fait acompli months ago.
Incorrect. It is the complicit party.
Part of its complicity is due to stupidity. But your point is well taken.
They are co-conspirators pretending to be representative of us

Remember to vote GOP in 2016! They need our support. /sarc
