Mia Love on The Iran Deal: We're Talking About Kicking a Bomb Down The Road
Townhall.com ^ | July 16, 2015 | Katie Pavlich

Newly minted Congresswoman Mia Love is speaking out against the White House deal with Iran, saying it's deeply concerning and inappropriate. 

"This is not a joke. This is not a game and it's not even partisan. This isn't even about kicking the can down the road. We're talking about kicking a bomb down the road in the next 15 years and that's incredibly concerning to me," Love said during an interview with Fox News yesterday. "We're going to lift sanctions. We have about $100 billion in escrow ready to hand over to Iran. We would all but pretty much build a bomb for them if we just give them that money. I can't understand how this would be a solution in terms of keeping them away from building a nuclear weapon. It's absolutely out of control and as far as I'm concerned inappropriate for a president to do." 

According to a report from The Hill earlier this week, House Speaker John Boehner is preparing to lead an attack on the Iran deal. However, Republicans would need a number of Democrats to join them in opposition to the deal in order to override an Obama veto. 

Republican leaders in Congress are crafting their attack plan against the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.

The GOP could seek to move a measure of disapproval, but it will be difficult to win a filibuster-proof 60 votes, much less the 67 required to overcome a presidential veto.

Republicans believe they will win the public relations battle on the deal, which largely unites the GOP and threatens to divide the Democratic Party.

Some Senate Republicans are thinking about moving a motion of approval of the deal, believing it would put Democrats in a tough spot ahead of next year’s elections. Such a move in the upper chamber could lead to less than half of the Senate backing the president, allowing for more favorable headlines for the GOP. The House, however, is more likely to pass a resolution of disapproval.

A third option is to move legislation sponsored by Menendez and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) placing new sanctions on Iran, which the Banking Committee passed earlier this year and has Democratic support.

The Iranian regime can't be trusted on this deal and neither can President Obama.

Didn’t she joint the naacp so as to ‘reform’ them? How’s that working out?

I would be great if she could rally the naacp behind her on this. It’s an incredibly serious issue and will change the global dynamics forever, literally.

Mia can really earn her stripes here if she can rally some troops against this deal.

Do you think her vote for the orange Cheeto would have made difference in the outcome?

First term congress critters typically need to “play along” to get along...

I’d give her a break until she is comfortable enough in her seat to take some heat from the party leaders...

Unlike the bomb stolen by Grand Fenwick this one is not a dud. It will go off.

Let's see...you just got to join an elite organization as a junior partner...

Every board meeting you stand up and pound the desk to get your way...

Let's see how far that gets you...?

Earn some tenure and credibility and you can persuade your peers to see things your way...

But hey, nothing like pissing off the senior partners...works every time... :)

People today are fed up with go along to get along. Stand on principles or go away!

> “First term congress critters typically need to “play along” to get along...”

And these mushy quislings continue that crap into the next term and the next term and the next term ...

> “I’d give her a break until she is comfortable enough in her seat to take some heat from the party leaders.”

Yeah sure, give her a break uh huh ... give her a chance to suck up to the RINO corruptocrats. Sieg heil!

And I’ll bet you think she should back Bonnie Prince Jeb if he’s coronated.

She had her chance to show she’s her own person. She joined in with the biggest traitor next to Obama. Boehner is completely compromised and owned by hard-core leftist blackmailers. He barks out a soundbite on occasion to placate the right but always always always turns to his leftist blackmailers for the real meat.

She needs to be spanked! She had her chance to pull the trigger and she held back. Would it have made a difference? You bet it would have! She would have elevated herself as a person who is not owned by anyone except her own principles. And if she has any principles, she showed they mean nothing when it matters.

She saw how Boehner in late November 2014 rammed a trillion dollar budget full of crony pork down the throats of Americans with no provision to defund Executive Amnesty while breaking promises left and right and giving barely 48 hours to review more than 1600 pages DURING A LAME-DUCK SESSION!!!!! What he did then is all that anyone needs to see in order to know what he is. She saw this. She has no excuse. She knew what he was.

And she voted for the Bastard! She’s with him! She’s empty inside. There’s no there there inside her. She’s nothing and has nothing to offer. She may get a 2nd term from the morons in Utah because they are devoid of anything that smacks of standing on principles. They are a cult of go along to get along. And Schmia is their poster girl.

She’s an unknown and will remain an unknown. She’s got one life to give for her country and she decided that her life was more important.

She’s done.

That bomb may fall into some Republican President’s lap. It will be a mess to clean up, whether it goes off or not.
