My Position on the Iran Deal (Sen. Chuck Schumer)
A Medium Corporation (US) ^ | Aug. 6, 2015 | Chuck Schumer

Posted on 08/07/2015 6:06:52 AM PDT by BlueDragon

Every several years or so a legislator is called upon to cast a momentous vote in which the stakes are high and both sides of the issue are vociferous in their views.

Over the years, I have learned that the best way to treat such decisions is to study the issue carefully, hear the full, unfiltered explanation of those for and against, and then, without regard to pressure, politics or party, make a decision solely based on the merits.

I have spent the last three weeks doing just that: carefully studying the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, reading and re-reading the agreement and its annexes, questioning dozens of proponents and opponents, and seeking answers to questions that go beyond the text of the agreement but will have real consequences that must be considered.

Hat tip to Tammy Bruce for the alert. I saw it in her tweets, while looking into some of her past coverage IRS testimony to Congress.

She supplied a link to a NYTimes article (I think) and there's also an article at USA Today under title; Two Democrats come out against Obama's Iran deal

which had the link to Chucky's essay explaining his position that I linked to in the heading of this thread.

Schumer will say he opposed the nuke deal when he really did not.

I have spent the last three weeks doing just that:....

Really? I thought you were supposed to believe 0hole and not allowed to read the whole BS agreement? Well at least so far you will save a lot of innocent lives by telling us you won’t go along with 0hole. But, we’ll see.

dear chuck,

as one that has watched you for many years, and it strikes me as very odd, that for once, you would actually think of something as ‘for the good of the nation’.

what is your REAL intention?

Maybe. Perhaps -- most likely?

Sausage making, mixed with smoking guns that seem like will inevitably result in smoking craters ---- blech. Sickening.

The Iranians are demon bags. Lying sacks of demon-crap.

I do hope the Lord comes back, before Samson grows his hair back out, and pulls the whole thing (this time, the world) down onto his own head, killing *them* (that would include US, this time around?) all...

Interesting. I did see that earlier, now that you mention it.

Thanks for the reminder for that other thread which you had initiated here on FR, dated 7/17/2015, under title of;

Too bad Chucky didn’t believe “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan”. However, it really doesn’t matter. Maranatha!

Like you quoted ol' Chucky having written;

To which you added;

Yeah. That sorta' jumped out at me too.

What of that, Mr. Hussein Obama? Why was Schumer so privileged? So he can still look good, while the world goes up in flames?

Does he even know?

Quiet, and "polite" resistance to Zippy's plans, this time won't be enough.

We should prepare ourselves for the worst case scenarios.

AND BUILD UP OUR MILITARY, while we wait.

But trust in God, not in our own military might (be that what it may).

Lieberman calling him out on the subject. That sounds familiar.

Anyone got a link?

dear blue,

ol’ chuckie is an anti-gun nut.
he has always pegged the ‘tea party’ types as extremists.
for a jew, he has always been anti-israel.

I cannot believe that he has anything, but his own power, and prestige, in mind 24/7/365.

In other words, Chuck is all for Obama’s policies when they’re destroying America. It’s only when Obama’s policies threaten Israel that Chucky is willing to break ranks with the Dear Leader.
