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.

Traitors = true patriots in liberal lalaland. Sure I’ll wear the title too.
Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Telling off Iran = opposite of treason.
Is this satire?

Wait a sec...I think I didnt quite read that right
I’m glad they’ll stand up for Israel. So why won’t they stand up for the US? Until they do, I’m not impressed.
Yes, about 125 Dems had to sign it
There’s a whole lot of sweating going on. 67 anyone???
< Yes, about 125 Dems had to sign it
Maybe some of those Demwits had a lightbulb go off in their empty heads and realized that if Iram got the nuke they might actually use it against Israel and then the U.S.or it was for self-preservation and so their voters wouldn’t think they were complete idiots...
Oops.

Clouded in mystery, slimmed by occlusion, hidden by lies, and down right ignored...
Obama's life history is fiction.. gossip and malevolent propaganda..
Something STINK'S in his bio.. he has the smell of "the Skunk"..
Something "acrid" in his woodpile.. even the blind can sense it..
The deaf can "feel" it.. your average idiot "knows it"..
Now THAT must have made Pelosi cry..
I’ll bet you that most of those who didn’t sign are in the Congressional Black Caucus..
