| Republicans plot new attacks to undercut Iran agreement |
| 2015-09-13 |
| [Iran Press TV] Republicans in the US Congress opposing the Iran nuclear agreement are not giving up despite losing to Democrats this week, they are plotting additional attacks to undercut the deal, a report says. On Thursday, Senate Democrats blocked a Republican resolution to reject the historic Vienna accord between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, ensuring that the deal can be implemented without Obama having to use his veto power. "This vote is a victory for diplomacy, for American national security, and for the safety and security of the world," President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... said after the vote. Republican senators, who only a few months earlier vowed to muster 67 votes to override a presidential veto, fell two votes short needed to break a Democratic filibuster. But, in the House of Representatives, Republicans succeeded to pass a resolution against the Iran agreement by 162 to 269 votes on Friday. |

| #8 Lifted from elsewhere, but saved for the record. Did the GOP secure the border with control of the White House and Congress? NO. Did the GOP balance the budget with control of the White House and Congress? NO. Who gave us the TSA? The GOP Who gave us the Patriot Act? The GOP Who expanded Medicare to include prescription drug coverage? The GOP Who created the precursor of Common Core in Race To the Top? The GOP Who played the race card in Mississippi to re-elect Thad Cochran? The GOP Who paid Democrats to vote in the Mississippi primary? The GOP Who refused to support Ken Cuccinnelli in Virginia? The GOP Who supported Charlie Crist? The GOP Who supported Arlen Spector? The GOP Who supported Bob Bennett? The GOP Who worked against Marco Rubio? The GOP It's all for show people. And then they wonder why Trump gets traction and the teflon effect from 'their' media. |

| #6 They are. Apparently they are sending out their minions to attack people who tend to vote Republican and who are criticizing the post turtle era of Congress. And if there was any doubt that Congress abrogated their duty in 2010, it is now without a doubt. I have not seen a performance this bad since Bill Mahar's standup comedy routine, and if you have never had the, pleasure, he gives opossums gravitas. |

| #1 When politicians move from representing their constituencies to assuming the duties of a Praetorian Guard, the public suffers. Good luck to the 'Pubs, but I, sadly, believe the horse is long departed the barn. |
