Yeah, I won't blame any lack of cooperation on him at all from here on out. If Republicans want to get stuff done, they're doing a very good job of showing otherwise.
I keep waiting to hear someone talk about how these republicans masters are not the American people but the Jews! I mean Bibi comes over and then all of a sudden all this?!?! ^^
The GOP needs to hire better spin doctors. I don't think Hillary's personal email "scandal" and this are going to win them many votes that they didn't already have.
Rawr! We're doing something ableit misguided, inneffective, and insolent! Do you have teenage kids? Vote for us because we're just like them!

Senator John McCain, whom you may remember from that one time he nearly became the president of the United States, has a less-than-satisfactory explanation for why he signed Senator Tom Cotton's open letter to Iranian leaders.
McCain told Politico that:
"I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters."
McCain told Politico that:

Is that like signing the Declaration of Independance was "just another letter"? <_<;
I mean, I get downplaying it, but c'mon.
At least with him, maybe it's just senility.

As for Congress being able to modify anything...
Kerry says Congress cannot modify any Iran-U.S. nuclear agreement
Kerry says Congress cannot modify any Iran-U.S. nuclear agreement
Maybe he meant "letters" as in

For some reason I just do not believe that were the tables turned all you people would be saying the same thing. For example, hypothetically, how would you all react if Bush passed these immigration and iran 'agreements' and if there was a democratic majority congress and the democrats were 'sitting on there ***' doing nothing?

Ok, then I agree he must be this 'teabagger terrorist' as long as we are in agreement he is not associated with the Tea Party, as these are 2 completely separate things. I was under the impression you were making up slang for it, but obviously I am mistaken.
Quote:
Iran's supreme leader said Thursday that a letter from Republican lawmakers warning that any nuclear deal could be scrapped by the next U.S. president is a sign of "disintegration" in Washington.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the letter a sign of "the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system's internal disintegration," according to the official IRNA news agency. It was the first reaction to the letter by Khamenei, who has the final say over all major policies.
Khamenei said states typically remain loyal to their commitments even if governments change, " but American senators officially announced the commitment will be null and void after this government leaves office. Isn't this the ultimate degree of the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system's internal disintegration?"
Khamenei said that whenever the talks approach a deadline, "the tone of the other party, particularly the Americans, becomes harsher, harder and more violent. This is part of their tricks and deceits."
However, he said, "Iranian officials know what they are doing."
Khamenei has generally supported the talks, but he frequently expresses doubt over the true intentions of the U.S. and other Western nations.
The supreme leader said a "Zionist clown" had delivered a speech in Washington, an apparent reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress earlier this month, in which he argued against the emerging agreement.

Leave it to a freshman to screw the pooch when trying to play party hero.

Some Republican senators who have signed a warning letter to Iran’s leaders admit the move was a “bad idea”, according to a report.
Earlier this week, 47 Republican senators signed an open letter warning the Islamic Republic of Iran that a nuclear deal being negotiated with the United States and other countries might only stick while President Barack Obama was in office.
The letter has drawn strong criticism from the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, who have dismissed it as a GOP effort to sabotage the nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 countries – the US, Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany, which have now entered a sensitive final stage.
But some Republicans, including those who signed on, are wondering if the move was a good strategy, according to a report by the Daily Beast.
They tacitly acknowledge that the Iran letter has injected partisanship into the nuclear negotiations, shifting the narrative from the content of the emerging deal to domestic partisan squabbles.
“… now, the Obama administration and its Capitol Hill partisans are cynically trying to push the conversation away from policy, and towards a deeply political pie fight over presidential and congressional prerogatives,” a Senate Republican aide, whose boss signed the letter, told the Daily Beast.
“I immediately knew that it was not something that, for me anyway, in my particular role, was going to be constructive,” said Republican Sen. Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one of the driving forces of Iran sanctions in the US Senate.
Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican who declined to sign the letter, told reporters Tuesday that the Iranian nuclear issue was “too important to divide us among partisan lines,” adding, “Introducing this kind of letter, I didn’t think would be helpful.”
Some congressional staffers have attempted to frame the letter as a “cheeky” reminder of the congressional powers.
“The administration has no sense of humor when it comes to how weakly they have been handling these negotiations,” a top GOP Senate aide told the Daily Beast.

As for John McCain, he's borderline terrorist wannabe, but definitely a supporter of terrorists aboard. As for a Tea Party guy, no.
He definitely needs to go.
He definitely needs to go.

I voted for McCain in AZ and I've always thought he was too mired in party politics to be truly effective, but he was at least a voice of reason. He did the song and dance for the cameras, but when push came to shove, he had the public's best interest in mind. He may have been a maverick at some point, but now he's just an irrelevant senile puppet. It's time to hang up your hat, john.
UPDATE: the petition(to prosecute the senators under the logan act) has now surpassed 100,000 signatures, which means the White House will have to respond to it.
100k signatures in 3 days. Anyone want to wager it hits 1,000,000 before the end of March?

EDIT: WOW! Since this morning (when I saw the 100k signatures) it has hit 219,046!!!!! It more than doubled in the 12 hours I was at work!!

I hope they field it to DoJ for an actual legal analysis instead of just a partisan press release. Either they possibly violated the Logan Act and will be tried or they definitely didn't and petitioners will not be offered their heads on the altar of public sacrifice.
They aren't going to be prosecuted, its pointless to try, the petition is worthless. Cotton should be censored but he won't be. Also, lol at blaming the Democrats for inserting partisanship into it after a Republican tried to sabotage the talks, and lol even more at "not having a sense of humor," because the letter was actually written in sarcasm font. Yeah right.

Starting a petition in siberia would yield more results.
