In November we need to replace those on the list, who are up for re-election, with true conservatives. Give them the "Lugar" treatment.

The House needs to stand firm against this theft, disguised as a treaty.

Charlie, you're scaring me. A "true conservative" should understand that the House has no input at all in the ratification of treaties.

The Constitution provides for the Senate to approve or reject a resolution of ratification ... approval requires a 2/3 majority.

Start paying closer attention, it's important.

You may want to read this reply of mine to disabuse yourself of that 2/3 notion, tx_eggman.
In case you didn't know, tx_eggman, 2/3 of Senators present can ratify a treaty.

And you're worried about some else's status as a "true conservative" because of a statement?!
