Obama picks up more support for Iran deal, needs one more senator to prevail
The Washington Times ^ | 9-2-15 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 09/02/2015 12:27:21 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Two more Democrats announced support Tuesday for President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, putting the White House a single senator away from assuring it can prevent Congress from scuttling the agreement and leaving GOP leaders hoping to avoid an even bigger embarrassment of losing to a filibuster.

With about 10 Democrats still to decide, it’s a lock that at least one of them will back Mr. Obama, giving him the 34 votes needed to uphold his expected veto of a bill to halt the deal.

sorry to have to say but we will need a mass trial to convict and execute all these damned traitors to America!

come 2016, let’s vote for someone who will definitely rip up this phony deal ... and hopefully initiate the trials as above

we have to protect America, not finance and arm our worst enemies, and hopefully we will have sufficient time to repair the O damage to our country

Obama needs only 34 out of a 100 Senators to support Obama on the Iran deal. This is because All the senators voted for the Corker bill 99-1 (Cotton being the only sane no vote). Before the Corker bill Obama would have needed 66 out of 100 Senators voting yes to approve the Iran deal.

All the Senators voted 99-1 for the Corker bill that made Obama’s Iran deal unstoppable. Senator Cotton was the only sane one voting against the Corker bill.

Keep calm and... get a copy of the Fallout 3 video game to see our future...

“Behold!
He is coming with the clouds.

And evert eye should be blind with his glory.
Every ear should be stricken deaf to hear the thunder of his voice.

Let the men, women and children of the Earth come forth to gather and behold the power of atom. Let those who dwelled here in his favoured land, attend now to the word of the profit of Atom.

Come forth and drink the waters of the glow.
For this ancient weapon of war, is our salvation, it is the very symbol of Atom’s glory. Let it serve as a reminder of the division that has occurred in the past. And the resplendence of the promise of our division in the times to come.

Give you bodies to Atom my friends! Release yourself to his power! Feel his glow, and be divided.

There shall be no tears, no sorrows, no suffering.
For in the division, we shall see our release from the pain and hardships of this world. Yay, your suffering shall exist no longer, it shall be washed away! In Atom’s glow.
Burned from you in the fire of His brilliance.

Each of us shall give birth to a billion stars, form from the mass of our wretched and filthy bodies. Each of us shall be mother and father to a trillion civilizations.
Each of shall know peace, and know an end to pain, and shall know Atom in His glory.

I urge you my friends, come drink with me and pray.
Glorious Atom, I give on to you these feeble bones, I present to your will, this frail body.”

-Confessor Cromwell


Todd Howard was a prophet.

Scary situation.

Very much so! I'd bet the mullahs in iran most likely have their suitcases all packed up now, loaded in their cars and they're ready drive to their bomb shelters.

AREN’T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CHORD THE DONALD STRUCK???

IT IS TIME TO TAKE A PRINCIPLED STAND. Let the pretender veto it and let the Rats own it.

Good gawd, y’all.

in my opinion, this is the most dangerous thing to happen to America in my lifetime....and probably in our nation’s entire history

enabling our worst sworn enemy to actually carry out its repeated and continuing threats to destroy us

any legislator who votes for this thing deserves to be brought up on treason charges, for real!

Sens. Christopher A. Coons of Delaware and Robert P. Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania, who said they’d studied the agreement closely and talked it over with experts and concluded that, warts and all, it would advance U.S. goals.

He can’t veto a bill that isn’t sent to him.

According to a vocal portion of FR Principled stands and those holding/taking them are the problem, not the solution.

Which is how we ended up with liberal republicans, thanks in part to their efforts spreading that meme. And which is why someday soon Israel will vaporize along with an American city or two. All of which they will ALSO share responsibility for.

All U.S. senators except Senator Cotton voted for nukes for Iran:

Even knowing of the horrendous side deal in which Iran inspects some of its own sites.

May hell await those who allow this to happen.

And Dresden and a number of additional cities. Plus then several years of de-nazification. And it worked to a considerable degree, too.

I wonder if all the democrat moms and dads who voted for obama - - might soon be worried about their kids not growing old now.

I'll be very surprised if Iran doesn't test a nuke before Obama leaves office. Once that test goes off, all this is moot and Iran knows it. It won't matter to Iran who the next president is after that.

It will also be giving Obama and America the middle finger.
