For liberals, opposition to Republicans is as much about defending President Barack Obama’s honor as it is in opposing the GOP’s policies. The left’s antipathy toward the GOP is shared by many in the political press, which spent the better part of the last two months defending the president’s patriotism, his devotion to the Christian faith, and examining the basis for charging 47 Republican senators with violating the Logan Act. The president’s good name, not his policies, moves the left to rise to his defense.
It was this impulse that inspired the Democratic base and their allies in the media to embrace the logic behind the asinine “47 traitors” campaign. This month, the left’s most historically illiterate supporters claimed that the decision by these senators to send an open letter to Tehran reminding them (and the administration) of their constitutional role in ratifying international agreements was met with disproportionate condemnation from the left. Those who did not irrationally insist that this maneuver amounted to treason against the United States insisted that it was historically unprecedented. Neither was true, and this tantrum said more about the left than it did Republicans.
It seems like those liberals who gnashed their teeth over the Senate GOP’s impertinence will have many more lawmakers to attack for their sedition. On Monday, a massive, veto-proof majority of the U.S. House of Representatives signed an open letter addressed to the president warning that their consent will be required for any nuclear deal the administration secures with Iran.
Via CNN:
The letter, which was signed by 367 members of the House and released Monday by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, follows a similar one, issued to Iran’s leaders and signed by 47 Republican senators, warning that any deal with Iran could be rolled back by a future president.

A person csnt have a good name when he wont even tell us his real name (Illinois bar form? Immigration form? Real birth certificate? Draft reg records? Stolen social security account? Foreign student visa? College admissions applications and records? )
Writing the headlines for the NY Daily News, I see.
Belated welcome to FR newbie...us “Kens” gotta stick together..all those damn Barbies out there..
I clicked your link, and see all the names are listed as “Member of Congress.” There is no indication of party or state, and there is no particular pattern that my cursory look exposed. Hope someone makes/finds/posts something with that actual information.
Hi. Sorry but i can’t help u. It wasn’t my linkee.
He needs reminded that he is not a king!
i see some CBC: Sanford Bishop, Elijah Cummings, Alcee Hastings, Corrine Brown, Sheila Jackson lee (!)
the amazing thing about this letter is, these house democrats must have been telling Obama in private, that they would not cover for him on a go it alone negotiation with iran
and he obviously ignored them, to the point that they were wiling to sign this letter
Obammy is all by his lone self on this one, with no congressional backing
> I’ll bet you that most of those who didn’t sign are in the Congressional Black Caucus
I’ll bet you are right
........the longer term ramifications of this are that for the first time the complete morons that show up at the White House each day (as opposed to “work” there)now have to contemplate that at least “ONE TIME” 84% of the House came together and slapped Obama up side the head with a wet towell on a TOP ISSUE.
If they did it once they can do it again.
> impeach obama
Right now is a good time for impeachment since both parties agree that 0 is not acting like a president of the U.S. but rather as an enemy combatant or infiltrator. 0 is finally taking his mask off and showing who he really stands with and it is against the American people. If this doesn’t convince Democrats and the Left that he is incompetent and untrustworthy of the office of president then they are blinder than I thought.
Haha. Maybe Obama will, completely unwittingly, unite this country after all!
Despite Obama’s lemon branch to Iran, it seems that Iran has no problem insulting him at every opportunity.
Wow. I’ve been thinking about that T word for a while. The only thing most in Congress put first is finding money for their reelection any way possible.
Rarely do they ever concern themselves with doing right for average Americans by ensuring our Constitutional rights, freedoms, opportunities and demanding fiscal responsibility. Instead they will come up with trade pacts,wars, banker bailouts and amnesty and immigration policies that end up screwing current and future generations.
Obama and many in Congress need reminded that royalty and royal families were never part of the fabric of America
Ed Royce is my Congressman and I’m going to let his office know of my approval.
LET THEM KNOW YOU BACK THEM!
Congress only hears from Liberals. Once you sit in an office, you realize that.
Notice it is to “The President”
Obama’s name isn’t on it.
