Harry Reid Blocks Iran Sanctions Vote

[Sallow]

Good for our President and Harry Reid

After decades of trying, we finally got a deal in place with Iran. Passing such a bill only threatens and already tenuous agreement

There is no reason for a new sanctions bill at this time

And there is no reason they can't wait a few months to see if this deal works.

This was a ridiculous bill.

All Iran is looking to do is buy time to build a weapon. That's exactly what Obama and Reid are letting them do.

Iran wouldn't want a weapon if they had assurances that their sovereignty would be respected and they wouldn't be attacked.

Iran has not attacked another country in over a century.

And when it was in compliance with the UN their nuclear scientists were getting assassinated.

That's not very nice.

They had time before

What the bill does is provide an opportunity to scale back. If they do....great
If not.....Sanctions are easy to put back in place

Passing this stupid bill at this time is provacative and only serves to push Iran back to where they were

Sanctions probably won't do anything, but they give a small glimmer of hope, as opposed to the plan right now, which is do nothing.

Sanctions have "done something". Iran has a more moderate government and is open to doing deals.

We are only in Iran's business at the behest of Israel.

When in reality N. Korean nukes are a true threat to the U.S. ...

You're giving Iran way too much credit. They have an apocalyptic regime that wants nukes so they can use them.

Sure Iran doesn't attack anyone. They have proxies to do their dirty work.

The stakes are too high. They must be stopped by any means necessary.

 

[Katzndogz]

Sanctions won't work with Iran. Sanctions will never work with Iran. Sanctions are a waste of time but may let the American public think something is being done when nothing is being done.

Rouhani: World powers ?surrendered? to Iran with nuclear deal | Fox News

Report: Obama’s Nuke Deal With Iran Allows Them To Continue Advanced Nuclear Research…

What exactly are we getting in return?

Via Free Beacon:

Iran will be permitted to continue advanced research and development work on its nuclear program under the interim nuclear deal reached over the weekend, according to senior Obama administration officials.

Nuclear talks were reported to have broken down late last year over the issue of whether Iran would be permitted to continue critical research and development in the nuclear arena.

The White House confirmed on Monday that Iran would be permitted to continue developing advanced nuclear centrifuges that will enable it to more quickly enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon.

Asked by a reporter on a conference call if the deal stops “Iran from designing new types of centrifuges,” a senior administration official admitted that the deal does not prohibit this activity.

******* surrender monkeys. All of you dimocraps.

We know one thing fer sure, if the shit hits the fan, you'll be nowhere to be found.

As usual.

Good for Reid and Obama!! ......

Yes, the more blatant their wrongdoing, the sooner they are likely to both be impeached. They have feathered their nests of family and friends with American taxpayer money, which is a huge no-no here.

It's time for the people to take America away from this pair of leeches.

[freedombecki]

This whole administration is pro muslim; anti jew - **** them! They want nothing more than to continue to damage our relationship with Israel. Israel will be forced to attack Iran - then they will be demonized. God will punish anyone who comes against his people!

It's a criminal enterprise to use the American government to fund Reid's son on the taxpayer nickel for Green shenanigans, and megamilions to Obama's family outings to Hawaii.

I'm sick of the pair of them. They squandered our American victory in Afghanistan and Iraq and soiled the American military doing so.

Egregious crimes for the last 6 years against the American people by pickpocketing the Treasury for personal and family gain. They're both nothing but leeches and maggots.

10 Most Corrupt Politicians of 2013

President Barack Obama:
President Barack Obama actually tops this “Top Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” list for 2013 as the driving force behind so many of the misdeeds. This is Obama’s seventh straight year on the list, dating back all the way to 2007 (in 2006, he earned a “Dishonorable Mention”). He is a master at catch-me-if-you-can, corrupt politics. This year, he has again acted as a one-man Congress, rewriting entire sections of federal law on his own. Not only is his administration secretive and dishonest; its callous disregard for the rule of law undermines our constitutional republic. Examples include:

• Perhaps Obama’s most outrageous actions over the past year were his continual lies about the ability of Americans to keep their own health insurance under Obamacare. According the Free Beacon,Obama misled the American people a total of 36 times between 2008 and 2013 with his promise, “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it.” And according to NBC News, Obama knew, even as he repeated his lie, that “more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them:”

None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date – the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example – the policy would not be grandfathered.
Buried in Obamacare regulations from July 2010 is an estimate that because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, “40 to 67 percent” of customers will not be able to keep their policy. And because many policies will have been changed since the key date, “the percentage of individual market policies losing grandfather status in a given year exceeds the 40 to 67 percent range.”
That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.

• Throughout 2013, the Obama family continued to use the White House as its own personal travel bureau and the taxpayers as their personal expense account.

• Though Obama quickly disavowed any knowledge of the IRS assault on Tea Party and other conservative groups leading up to the 2012 presidential election, the fact is that it was the president himself who fingered the groups for what might be called “special handling.” Consider Obama’s own hostile and aggressive statements, made just as his IRS officials were gearing up their assault:

August 9, 2010: During his weekly radio address, Obama warned of “attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names.” The President said: We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them . . . you don’t know if it’s a foreign controlled corporation. … The only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide.”
September 20, 2010: Speaking in Philadelphia, Obama once again warned that “nobody knows” the identities of the individuals who support conservative groups.
September 22, 2010: Speaking in New York, Obama warned against groups opposing his policies “[posing] as non-for-profit social and welfare trade groups” and he claimed such groups were “guided by seasoned Republican political operatives” and potentially supported by some unidentified “foreign controlled entity.”
October 14, 2010: Obama attacked organizations with “benign sounding” names as “a problem for democracy.”
Little wonder that after their boss sounded the call to attack, Obama’s IRS appointees obeyed the command. And even less wonder that, caught red-handed, Obama first claimed total ignorance and, when the ploy failed, simply labeled it all a “phony scandal.”

• According to the Galen Institute, Obama has now unilaterally rewritten the Obamacare law as passed by Congress 14 times by executive fiat, with the majority of those changes coming in 2013. Those changes include such major overhauls as the congressional opt-out, eviscerating the individual mandate, and delaying the employer mandate. The latest Obama fix came on December 20, when he suddenly moved to allow hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their insurance due to Obamacare to sign up for bare-bone “catastrophic” plans. As National Review observed, “Of course, like every other exemption from Obamacare the latest fix is supposed to last only a year, raising the prospect that people will be kicked off their catastrophic coverage as soon as the 2014 election is safely in the political rear-view mirror.”

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV):
Last year, Harry Reid made the Judicial Watch Ten Worst list for his influence-peddling scandal involving ENN Energy Group, a Chinese “green energy” company for which Reid “applied his political muscle” – and which just happened to be a major client of the Nevada law firm in which Reid’s son, Rory, is a principal.
This year Reid makes the Ten Worst list again. His “friends” list is examined by Frontpage.com:
On Monday, Harry Reid’s close friend and donor, Harvey Whittemore was sentenced to two years in prison for funneling more than $130,000 in illegal campaign funds to Sen. Harry Reid’s re-election committee in 2007 …
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Reid and Whittemore go way back; four of Reid’s sons were hired by the law firm in which Harvey Whittemore was a senior partner. Sen. Reid and Whittemore were involved in very big land deals, including federal legislation to help the development of Coyote Springs.
None of which is surprising, since Reid has long-since made funneling money to his family’s enterprises his stock-in-trade. According to Peter Schweizer, writing for Fox News, “Sen. Reid has sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted organizations that one of his sons, Key Reid, [RW1] either lobbies for or is affiliated with.”
While not teaming up with family members to fleece taxpayers, Reid was teaming up with President Obama to use executive authority to skirt the law. Obama and Reid have long opposed a proposed nuclear waste dump in Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which has already cost U.S. taxpayers an astounding $15 billion, according to various federal audits. So, Obama simply instructed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) to decline to conduct the statutorily mandated Yucca Mountain licensing process, essentially destroying the project.
In mid-August, a federal appellate court ruled that Obama “is simply flouting the law.” According to the court, “It is no overstatement to say that our constitutional system of separation of powers would be significantly altered if we were to allow executive and independent agencies to disregard federal law in the manner asserted in this case by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”
Topping off the year, on November 21, 2013, – a day which should live in congressional infamy – Reid gutted the long-standing filibuster rules of the U.S. Senate in order to grease the path for Barack Obama’s court appointees. The new Reid rule prevents the minority party from filibustering any nominations other than nods to the Supreme Court. And to effect the change, Reid first triggered the “nuclear option,” which allows a change to Senate rules by majority vote (and which he had adamantly opposed in 2005, calling it “illegal” and “unAmerican”). Minority Leader Mitch McConnell accused Reid of attempting “break the rules of the Senate … in order to change the rules of the Senate.” Not surprisingly, as the Wall Street Journaleditorialized, an ancillary benefit of the rule change is that it will get judges on the DC Court of Appeals who are more friendly to Reid’s agenda.
Obama Parole Board Frees Al Qaeda Terrorist, Bin Laden Guard From Gitmo

January 10, 2014 |Benghazi, Department of Defense
The Al Qaeda terrorist—Osama Bin Laden’s bodyguard—determined to be “too dangerous to be released” from Guantanamo just a few years ago will be freed from the military prison because President Obama’s new parole board found he no longer poses a “significant threat to the United States.” The shocking about-face comes on the heels of mainstream

We elect presidents and senators to protect Americans.

I'm tired of criminals prowling Washington. They make criminality a prerequisite for being a politician, and enough is enough.

We are only in Iran's business at the behest of Israel.

When in reality N. Korean nukes are a true threat to the U.S. ...

Israel paid a price for having a country. Muslims from every corner of the Middle East joined Hitler 's SS in 1939 for the purpose of assisting in the murders of all Jews in Europe. They only killed 6 million out of 8 million, the rest fled or hid in closets for years.

Israel paid a price. They don't owe their freaky hateful neighbors firing daily missiles into their country a nickel.

Nah, impeachment will do. Without diplomacy there are only lynchings, and Republicans favor the rule of law rather than lynching monsters like Reid and Obama..
