MCCONNELL ON IRAN DEAL: ‘OBAMA WON SHORT-TERM BATTLE, BUT WE WON THE ARGUMENT..
Breitbart ^ | 9/11/15 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 09/12/2015 11:44:13 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

..WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’
Friday on the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)52% insisted that although President Barack Obama will see the successful implementation of his controversial agreement with Iran on the nuclear deal, those that oppose the deal won the battle of public opinion.

McConnell insisted this would be used as a campaign issue, but was expressed his skepticism that there could be anything else done to block the deal because of a procedural obstacle Senate Democrats initiated.

“We know, Bill, that there is a bipartisan majority who oppose the deal,” McConnell said. “Senate Democrats have abused a procedural device to prevent the president from getting a motion of disapproval, which he would veto. He’s going to win the short-term battle, but we won the argument with the American people. There is overwhelming opposition to the deal. The Israelis oppose the deal. Our Sunni Arab allies are nervous and apprehensive now, feeling they can’t trust us anymore. This is going to be a defining issue for the 2016 election – not only for the White House, but for the continued control of the Senate.”

WTF?

Iran is getting Nuclear weapons and Russia and Iran just took over Syria with out firing a shot because of Obama’s incompetence and McConnell cowardly leadership.

America and the rest of the world have lost big - and it's going to get much worse.

“McConnell insisted this would be used as a campaign issue, but was expressed his skepticism that there could be anything else done to block the deal because of a procedural obstacle Senate Democrats initiated.”

We don’t believe you McConnell.

Here is what Ted Cruz has to say on the corruption and weak leadership of the GOPe.


That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, “We’re asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.

Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, that’s what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because we’re scared of this issue. We don’t want to have a political fight on this.

But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.

Now, I was sitting there — to be honest, I hadn’t gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, “There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”

If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.

Right on.....

Like the guy at the crosswalk steps into traffic with a car speeding down on him.
He continues, car speeds up.

As car hit him he was heard to scream “But the light was in my favor. I was right”.

Yes sir, you certainly were right.

Now you are DEAD RIGHT.

This surrender monkey is so dumb he actually believes such things. Worse, he’s so dumb he thinks we believe such things. If he survives the first wave of Iranian nukes, I want to be on his jury.

Tell us again about the great victory, Mitch, please?

Because I missed that whole earlier string of victories.

It is like Harry Reid never left.

= = = = = = = = = = =
He (and boner) have gotten to the point where they let their ‘troops’ get overrun and decimated THEN they decide they may surrender.

Interesting how Trumps ‘tactics’ now are called ‘poor’ by the GOPe.
WTF did they call it when Romney COMPLETELY alienated his opponents, and their blocs - to the point where they said ‘screw it’, then when ‘given’ the nomination, turned wuss to BO etal....

A pox on ALL their houses.

Good thing this guy never became a H.S. football coach. The fans would never tolerate his losing talk coming up with such lame excuses.

I’m so glad Ann Coulter and Rand Paul supported Mitch McConnell over Matt Bevin. It’s worked out so well.
