McConnell Rejects Iran Delay
The Hill ^ | 09/09/15 | Alexander Bolton

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is dismissing a House Republican Hail-Mary attempt to kill the Iran nuclear deal by postponing a vote on a disapproval resolution.

House conservatives want to delay the vote and argue that the 60-day congressional review period has not yet elapsed because the administration has yet to submit paperwork detailing “side deals” between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Tea-Party firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined the House GOP effort Wednesday by panning an upcoming Senate vote on the disapproval resolution as a “show vote” and putting pressure on McConnell to delay it.

But McConnell rejected the gambit in a press conference with reporters.

“As I understand law, once Sept. 17 passes is it not the case that the president will take the view that he is free to go forward,” to lift sanctions, he said.

The average person can look at and watch McConnell for a few minutes and figure out what Obammy has on him as blackmail.

This is simply SHOCKING!

Actually Business as Usual is a better description. We need an actual Republican leading the Senate.

What an ass. RINOs are intolerable scum. Always capitulating. Always always all ways.

And yet the republican establishment wonders what fuels the groundswell of support for Trump.

It is obvious who’s side McCookoo is on. He is Hussein’s lap dog anytime he wants.

We need to reject the Republican Party and its leadership. It does not represent us in any way, shape or form.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

How about representing the citizens of the USA?

For the good of the country is no longer part of the job description.

Of course *itch McConnell rejects any kind of principled stand against enabling a terrorist state, he wants his thirty pieces of silver!

The Iranians are trying to arrange that in Israel.

So maybe Cruz should get some help to bring his resolution, similar to the house out of Corker’s committee to the floor for a vote.

Sounds more like a normal and prudent procedure than a "hail Mary" pass.

But what would I know? I'm a mere American citizen.
