Dear Senator Nelson,
You say the letter sends a message that we are not united.
As for me and my friends, we do not support the president’s negotiating with Iran at all. Much more, we absolutely do not support any effort on his part that would allow the Iranians even a tiny step in the direction of a nuclear bomb.
We saw this with the so-called negotiations with North Korea. That ended with them having nukes.
Quit playing games.
We don’t support a nuclear Iran. We don’t support them making any progress in that regard at all, ever.
We ARE not united with this president. He holds the office, but he is not my president, and I wouldn’t trust him negotiating recess with a small group of first graders.

said a Senate Republican aide whose boss signed the letter.
Republican aides were taken aback by the response to what they thought was a lighthearted attempt to signal to Iran and the public that Congress should have a role in the ongoing nuclear discussions.
Two GOP aides separately described their letter as a cheeky reminder of the congressional branchs prerogatives.
The administration has no sense of humor when it comes to how weakly they have been handling these negotiations, said a top GOP Senate aide.
Not a single name in sight, one "vaporBoss" and a lot of BS.
No sale.

the flak is heaviest over the target. The lame duck is dying.You nailed it. Senator Cotton has my respect and appreciation for leading the Senate into an actual fight. And good for the 46 fellow senators who grew a pair and taught Obama and the mullahs a lesson about our Constitution.
To: BerniesFriend
LOL! The Senators who didn't sign the letter bravely go on the record to announce their determination that their decision was correct!
And some imaginary "staffers of some Senator who now regrets being mean to Obama" agree with the journalist who agrees with them!
And all of them together agree that Obama is best and Obama agrees with all of them. Such is our sorry state of both journalism and politics, which are melded into one now.

That is true...nor did the Congress go public about their issues nor did they send a letter to the Kremlin.

Well, we’re not. You want to send a message to the rest of the world that is a lie? We were more united during the civil war than today.

Nor did the Dems do that, they allowed Reagan to negotiate. I guess you forgot about Teddy Kennedy asking Andropov to help defeat Reagan by promising to help him discredit Reagan.
Maybe you remember John Kerry negotiating with the Viet Cong in the Paris peace accords while still a member of the Naval Reserve. Kerry was and is a scumbag traitor who lied profusely before J William Fulbright's committee but since he was not sworn in it was ok to lie his @ss off.
Maybe you remember The 'Dear Comandante' letter (1984) - Political Warfare

Sure. Nixon also was negotiating and
talking to South Vietnam while running for Pres. If there every was a use for the Logan act, that would have been one of them[not counting the illegal actions of LBJ as well].

I believe it was scuttled before the letter....when folks found out that the deal said....no nukes for you.....UNTIL ten years have passed.
In other words....Iran had the permission of the USA to make nukes....according to the pending Obama agreement.
To: BerniesFriend
“Behind the scenes, Republicans are wondering if sending an open letter to Irans leaders was the best strategy to keep a bad nuclear deal from being negotiated”.
So says the liberal website DailyBeast.

What pussies? Name one out of this article. There are two Senators quoted who didn’t sign the letter to begin with and there’s an unnamed aide of an unnamed Senator (likely fabricated, and if not, then an individual dope’s opinion). That’s it.
This isn’t about spineless Republicans, this is about the media grasping at anything they can to spin this for poor ol’ Obama.
