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.

Man, I did let that one slide by didn’t I? Now if I would have had my game face on I’d a been as alert as a B.E.T.’er at a Swedisih cheerleading competition....: )
John Boehner writes like the drunk he is.
Trey Gowdy writes like I do.
Holy cow....Sheila Jackson Lee signed it.
Yep
I think the Prez is mentally ill. His biological father abandoned him, his adopted father abandoned him, and, finally his mutt of a mother dumped him off with his grandparents in a different country! Who wouldn’t have issues?!! The man is a malignant narcissist. It’s not pretty and certainly nothing we’d EVER want for U. S. President.
Ted Poe has a GREAT signature!!!
