Let's take a minute to thank every Republican member of the US Senate, less Tom Cotton, for enabling this with the Corker Bill.

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?

[CivilWarBrewing]

This 'deal' is the biggest SHAM ever perpetrated on the United States by the Muslims in the White House pretending to be Americans.

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.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Is there any reason that any Senator could not submit the Iran deal as a treaty for an up or down 2/3 vote?

[Norm Lenhart]

Lets take another that voted with depraved indifference to elect them.

No matter what. Lesser evil.

This is ‘what’.

[Starboard]

Democrats still run the senate.

[oldbrowser]

If McConnell chose he could have used the nuclear option and made it a simple majority to close debate. Or the could have let the dems filibuster until they ran out of gas.

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.

[tflabo]

Their OblahMao god they soooo worship wont save them in the end.

[Pres Raygun]

We need to pressure the Republican Senate to invoke the Nuclear option. The Democrats in the Senate are blocking a vote on the Iran deal. McConnell can vote to remove the 60 vote requirement for cloture as Harry Reid did. If McConnell will not do so the conservative in the Senate need to form there own 40 member voting block to stop all future Senate bills until this deal is stopped

[CivilWarBrewing]

FWIW, Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska’s speech on the floor was brilliant.

“overcoming ferocious GOP opposition”

LMMFAO!!!! Hooooooooo, boy! That’s a good one! Ferocious GOP opposition. I’ma haveta rememba dat! That’s gooooood.

[Prospero]

Yes, indeed. Though, it will take a minute or two to get past what has to be the most blatantly dishonest and biased reporting I've read in the past few days, and that's a high bar. And since it's AP, that means it will be the headline for every dying secondary newspaper and hourly newscast throughout the country.

It would be unwise of the Republicans, or even the Democrats, to underestimate the insurrectionary mood they seem intent on kindling. It's past the need for hip boots in this flood of bull. People need a snorkel.

Iran nuclear deal survives: Democrats block disapproval vote

They are dumber than I ever would have dreamed.

I sent the idea for using the 1964 "Daisey Girl" Ad to Senator Cruz. Nothing would shock the Liberals more than seeing that ad aired in context of the Iran deal.

[Vinnie]

McConnell, use the ‘nuclear option’ or Iran will use the real thing.

[AFreeBird]

The feckless GOPe strikes again. What, exactly was the point in voting these people into a majority, if Nazi Pelosi & Harry Reid are still running the place?

[Chode]

the RedSox got a better deal when they traded Babe Ruth than America did with this 0bamanation
