Democrats Blast DINO Chuck Schumer's Threat to Kill Iran Deal [View all]

So - this REPUBLICAN is set to take the place of Harry Reid? As ineffective as I have at times thought Reid to be, this DINO jackass needs to just drop the pretense and put the (R) after his name and be done with it.


Democratic constituency groups opposed to war with Iran are furious that New York Democrat and Senate Minority Leader "heir apparent" Chuck Schumer is threatening to scuttle the possibility of a diplomatic agreement with Iran by supporting legislation - the Corker bill - that would allow Republicans in Congress to veto any deal.

MoveOn.org says:

Supporting reckless legislation that undermines President Obama's diplomacy with Iran and risks a dangerous, unnecessary war in the Middle East should disqualify anyone from leading the Senate Democratic caucus...Sen. Schumer needs to withdraw his support from the Corker and Menendez legislation.

CREDO Action says:

Starting a war with Iran is apparently the top legislative priority for the next leader of the Senate Democratic caucus.

Politico reported that Senator Chuck Schumer's first major move after locking down support to succeed Sen. Harry Reid as the Senate minority leader is to put his weight behind a bill that could block a final nuclear deal with Iran and would almost certainly put the U.S. on a path to war with Iran.

THE REST:
