Bravo Sierra! The same "unnamed" GOP operatives who, in 2004, told Michael Moore that his movie Fahrenheit 911 would end GW Bush re-election hopes..in other words..these are made up or just spineless GOP operatives..either case..Barbara Streisand!!!

Translation: The letter has probably scuttled the deal.

[cripplecreek]

Ahh yes, the behind the scenes republicans who cannot be named.

“What it sends is a message to the rest of the world that we are not united,” Nelson said.

Okay, so it worked, then.

[faithhopecharity]

The letter merely cited the US Constitution

something Obama is supposedly knowledgeable about (he must be, he’s gone down and attacked every one of our constitutional liberties)

and something the Iranian IslamoNazi Mullahs could also look up in about 30 seconds on the internet

no big deal. But hopefully the letter has served to stop a complete disaster of a fake ‘deal’ from being crammed down our throats

[Cicero]

According to the Constitution, foreign treaties must be confirmed by the Senate before they have any official weight. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost sight of that in recent years, and the Press seems to have forgotten it.

No one who signed the letter is quoted in the article! (Oh, except one unidentified Congressional Aide who works for someone who allegedly signed the letter. I bet.)

It only quotes those who didn’t sign the letter. Of course, they didn’t think it was a good idea. Well, duh! If you thought it was a good idea, you would have signed it! (Granted, it should have been to Obama, copy Tehran; that is the only tactical mistake, imho.)

It did bring attention to the fact: (1) Obama is doing the deal without Senate input or approval, and has said so, (basically he already told them to kiss off) and (2) its a crappy deal. Pathway to a nuke. Takes the ability of us or our allies (read - Israel; we don’t have the nerve) to bomb the centrifuge locations.

Neither point would be in the public domain for all the low info voters to see (OK, many still don’t get it), but it put everyone on notice that, come January 2017, if we reneg - we told you so! Even Kerry agreed it was a non-binding contract. And as Cotton tweeted - they why do it?

Why do a 10 year deal and not get Congressional approval making it permanent? Answer: because you know the deal is weak and have absolutely no intention of asking for approval from those bums on the other end of the Mall.

Actually I agree to a point. They didn’t need to write Khamenni. They could have accomplished the same thing with an open letter in the media.

Standing up for America is never a bad call. If you think it is them you are part of the problem...........

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Holy cow I cannot believe the pussies in this party. The Treason party berates then and the next day they are all cowering under their desk “ooooh please don’t be angry with me Mr. Terrorist supporter! Oooh!” NO wonder the Treasonists get away with all the crap they do.

"..However, while some on the Republican side are now rethinking the wisdom of sending a letter, none of the 47 Republican signatories are recanting their support for it or signaling an intent to do so..."

The most important phrase in the entire article appears in bold above.

The only people quoted by name in the article are Republicans who DID NOT sign the letter in the first place, and Democrats.

If this proposed agreement is actually going to be in the best interests of the U.S., why would Obama object to the Senate engaging in its traditional "advise and consent" role? Answer: It isn't in our best interests, and Obama resents even the possibility that someone might take due notice of the fact.

[SmokingJoe]

Daily Beast Obamabots desperately reaching? I don’t see a single quote from the article that supports the title of this piece. The only dumb idea I see is the idiot who decided to write the article the first place.

[Tucker39]

I’ll be happy if, because of that letter, Obola’s surrender deal never gets done. But OTOH; are these signatories part of the same gang who caved and sprinkled (un)holy water on Dear Leader’s amnesty plan? Whatever happened to good old-fashioned consistency?

[VTenigma]

I think it was a great idea, it got Obola’s and Kerry’s panties in a wad. I think conservatives should make it a priority to pull there chains as much as possible, make the clowns show how dumb they are. (”It is not a speech!”)JFnK, LOL

[greyfoxx39]

Lucky Arizona...we have McCain, a senile, doddering old fool and Jeff Flake who has his head up his A$$ 100% of the time.

Dear Senator Nelson,

You say the letter sends a message that we are not united.

As for me and my friends, we do not support the president’s negotiating with Iran at all. Much more, we absolutely do not support any effort on his part that would allow the Iranians even a tiny step in the direction of a nuclear bomb.

We saw this with the so-called negotiations with North Korea. That ended with them having nukes.

Quit playing games.

We don’t support a nuclear Iran. We don’t support them making any progress in that regard at all, ever.

We ARE not united with this president. He holds the office, but he is not my president, and I wouldn’t trust him negotiating recess with a small group of first graders.

[TLI]

said a Senate Republican aide whose boss signed the letter.

Republican aides were taken aback by the response to what they thought was a lighthearted attempt to signal to Iran and the public that Congress should have a role in the ongoing nuclear discussions.

Two GOP aides separately described their letter as a “cheeky” reminder of the congressional branch’s prerogatives.

“The administration has no sense of humor when it comes to how weakly they have been handling these negotiations,” said a top GOP Senate aide.

Not a single name in sight, one "vaporBoss" and a lot of BS.





No sale.

[Timber Rattler]

Chickens**ts!

LOL! The Senators who didn't sign the letter bravely go on the record to announce their determination that their decision was correct!

And some imaginary "staffers of some Senator who now regrets being mean to Obama" agree with the journalist who agrees with them!

And all of them together agree that Obama is best and Obama agrees with all of them. Such is our sorry state of both journalism and politics, which are melded into one now.
