THE GOPe:
LOOK AT ME, LOOK WHAT I CAN’T DO!
Whatever...they never want to fight until they’re sure they’ve already lost.
GOP playing hardball?
They don’t know how
More pretend opposition. I wonder how much of that 160 BILLION dollars radioactive blood money is finding it’s way into the hands of these corrupt traitors?
Which is exactly why both Boner and McPosturtle need to either be thrown out of office or loose the Majority.
Want to play hardball?
MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER!
Stop this namby-pamby nonsense. Millions of lives are on the line.
The Democrats want to stop the vote? Make them talk around the clock.
Turtle needs to check with his BF, Pelosi for permission first.
It's true President Obama's power grab has guaranteed that his unilateral accord will go into effect without Congress' approval.
But it does not have to be that way.
The sanctions on Iran are a matter of US Law, passed by the Congress and signed into law by the president at the time.
This President does not have the authority to simply suspend them.
The Senate should simply call the "deal," a treaty and then force a vote to ratify it...which will fail miserably.
The House should pass a resolution indicating that US Law with respect to the sanctions will continue, and that no funding for any part of Obama's deal will ever be allocated.
Enough with the poetical games...the trying to embarrass dems to not vote on an " approval," that itself does not follow the Constitution.
We are talking bout the security of this nation here.
It is time we route out all of these establishment vipers and politicians and get Americans in office who will vote according to the best interests of the nation...not their careers, their accolades, their perqs, etc.
YES WE CAN’T!!
Make do a real filibuster. They are lazy and likely couldn’t keep it up for long.
It’s war or crippling boycott. Since the other big nations won’t accept any boycott, it’s war that will be demanded with us standing alone. The other nations will feed our enemies and watch us disintegrate with troops on the ground. Screwed again.
Why can’t they go with what Reid did with the judges and use a one vote margin to break the filibuster. Just change the rules of the Senate, and then change them back.
Heck, they do that to the rest of us every tax season.

Why would we believe the GOPe crap-weasels now?
The GOP will never fight this seriously. “One reason is money – and the pressure from a venal world business lobby to gain access to the Iranian market.”
