It's ALL about politics and Obama wins (or losses). That is ALL the Republicans care about. Even going as far as putting their offensive, repulsive, and jealous feelings about our brown skinned intelligent president before our country's national security. They are disingenuous in their arguments whether or not they will vote to ratify the START treaty. This is political showmanship, GOP grandstanding. They want this treaty ratified when the GOP has a majority in the House of Representatives, that's how pathetically stupid they are. Do they think the American people will then say wooohoooo the GOP did something great!! Yes, that's how stupid Mitch McConnell is...
Republicans are whining about amendments, well 2 amendments proposed by the Republicans have been defeated. Now what? More amendments to drag this on? And what if an amendment was agreed upon, it means this, "Any change in the language or substance of the pact would require reopening negotiations with Russia, effectively killing the agreement". So there you have it. The GOP is hell bent on killing this treaty, OR they want the credit for it getting done when they take the House.
Get on with it Harry Reid. Stop this relentless game playing by those thugs! I'm a C-Span junkie, but listening non-stop to the Democrats on the floor trying to convince the GOP this treaty needs voted on NOW, is just ridiculous! JUST VOTE! FUCK THEM!
