Schumer: Why I’m opposing the Iran nuclear deal

NY POST ^ | August 7, 2015 | By Charles Schumer

Even a stopped clock...

So. I’m just spit balling here....is he up for reelection?

Problem is, there won’t be enough dems to vote for not doing this deal than rhinos voting to press on with it.

[Night Hides Not]

Obama figures his veto will stand, it’s safe for Schumer to vote nay.

[b4its2late]

He wants more camera time to make up for the time he has lost.

[Gaffer]

Probably. But the way he got it (not a Treaty) means it can be undone if we ever get a Congress and President with some balls.

[huckfillary]

I don’t understand how this agreement doesn’t qualify as a treaty requiring 67 votes to ratify. Any agreement among nations is a treaty. Period. Obama needs 67 votes to ratify.

[thestob]

all this means is Chucky knows there are not enough votes to override a presidential veto ...so it doesn’t matter what he does or says

[george76]

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

Schumer: Why I’m Opposing the Iran Nuclear Deal

[GOPJ]

Thank you Charles Schumer ...

“Schumer: Why I’m opposing the Iran nuclear deal”

Because they dont have the votes to prevent the deal from going through so the powers that be gave you their permission to vote against it so that you can protect and save your political hide?

[Farmer Dean]

He’s the greasiest weasel in Washington.He’s working some angle here-just don’t know what it is yet.

[Gaffer]

I don’t doubt what you say.

For all his many and horrific flaws, Schumer has generally been pretty tough on terrorism, like when he went hard for additional shipping container security. Being a NYC Jew, I think he has a pretty solid understanding of the threat. It's his only good point.

[Gaffer]

Okay...I’ll take your word for it. It is a consolation that some of them still have some scruples I guess.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Two days ago, David Harris of the AJC came out with a reasoned position not to accept the deal and urged Congress to do the same. Once the AJC nixed the deal, I knew Schumer would have to back out of support.

Of course, behind the scenes, he's lobbying every Democrat to support the deal.

[nuconvert]

I’ll be very surprised if he didn’t say this, knowing full well that it would pass with or without his vote.

[Sacajaweau]

Excepting the money has been released....and you won’t get that back...and all the other countries are wheelin’ dealin’ trade agreements. You can’t put it back in the bottle.
