Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said this morning that President Obama will win the "short-term battle" because Congress will not be able to block the Iran nuclear deal.
But he said Republicans, and the Democrats who oppose the president, have "won the argument with the American people."
"There is overwhelming opposition to the deal. The Israelis oppose the deal. Our Sunni Arab allies are nervous and apprehensive now, feeling they can't trust us anymore," he told Bill Hemmer.
McConnell said he believes the issue has a "long shelf life" and that the debate will continue until Americans "render judgment" on Election Day 2016.
McConnell said Senate Democrats have used a "procedural device" to prevent a motion of disapproval, which would then be vetoed by Obama.
House Speaker John Boehner is considering a lawsuit to stop the deal, while Sen. Ted Cruz has proposed going after U.S. banks that release money to the Iranians.
McConnell said he will explore any proposal by his fellow Republicans.

All supposed conservatives running need to be vetted very carefully as the last batch were, for the most part, fakes.
I now loath McConnell and Boehner worse than Pelosi and Reid.
Welcome to the Dark Side Jedi. We have cupcakes.
“Yes. Now what is anybody going to do about it?”
A good start would be conservatives getting off their fat butts and electing a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in their counties. That gives them legal and armed muscle to take on the liberal fascists. Local elections attract about 10% of the electorate, so conservatives could also take over village, county and schoolboard governments with their votes.
The above gives you a safe community and a political base to begin taking back America.
Many of the the thousands of international ‘agreements’ the US is a party to are considered ‘treaties’ under international law. There’s no clear demarcation and never has been, except it’s a ‘treaty’ if the Senate or the President designates it as such.
Makes sense to me.

Make McConnell personally feel it by driving a wedge in the family.

Thank you for the explanation.
Well kidding aside, didn’t he just do exactly that? He violated rules argane and overt to get millions of people at risk to death by e=MC2 or 150B worth of conventional killing.
....That said...
Not sure what more he could do to offend the modern ‘American” other than having hetro sex with his wife in private. Which would drive libs and moderates into a frenzy. Which I suppose could work.
“Maybe. Closer to 5 IMO. 10 if one was real forgiving.”
Very forgiving...
Sociopaths. Pretty much every last one of them. I wonder what Cotton was told, what was made abundantly clear to him in private?

Not that I can get behind. But if anyone thinks we can ‘fix this’, I admire their ‘hope’ but we arent fixing squat unless by miracle, or Americans get their collective heads out of their arses about lesser evil voting. And certainly not till the next election if there is a next and it is remotely legit.
“The above gives you a safe community and a political base to begin taking back America.”
Bingo! It MUST start in each and every small community and work outwards from there. Starts with a principled individual who will not bow to any but God, he will keep his own family upright, then godly men of the same cloth MUST organize, even if it is in secret meeting in the basements of churches around the nation, and take our communities back one by one.
What I proposed is not new. The Founders organized Committees of Correspondence and Committees of Safety, and it all started in local communities and churches. This was done BEFORE they took on the English Crown. These committees gave them organization, leadership and armed patriots to move against the king when the time was right. They started a thousand brushfires that the king’s men couldn’t tamp out.
American history between 1750 and 1775 explains the whole blueprint, which the Founders left to us to use again.
“I’m not saying you as I don’t know.”
??????????????????????????????
I don’t know what your past positions were on the subject so I directed the comment as a general statement.
There's a scene that makes me think of that. It's from the movie "Cabaret" when everyone is singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me", there is a shot of an old man looking around horrified at what he is witnessing. That's how we all feel now.
