Showing Original Post only (View all)Schumer has decided to vote NO on Iran deal: NYC local news [View all]
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/07/27/schumer-iran-nuclear-deal-vote/Nearly two weeks after an Iran nuclear deal was reached, Schumer is still keeping his stance on the agreement close to the vest, though sources tell CBS2 New Yorks senior senator plans to vote against it.
Sen. Schumer, were hearing from our sources that you plan to vote no on the Iran deal, CBS2s Hazel Sanchez told the senator.
No, I havent made up my mind, Schumer responded. Ive spent a great deal of time studying this issue. Last week Ive had 10 different meetings with people on both sides of the issue including a classified briefing and its a very serious decision.
There are all kinds of questions about the deal. What happens with the deal? What happens without the deal?, Schumer added.

Schumer knows how he's going to vote--with AIPAC and the Republicans. This act of pretending to deliberate is to buy time--he wants the deal to fail, but he doesn't want to get the blame.
Completely unfit to be a Democrat, let alone leader of Senate Democrats.
When the deal survives his attempts to kill it and get us involved in another war for oil in the Middle East (Chuckie pimped the Iraq war) he should face severe consequences.

Unconvincing opinion based on nothing new. What Schumer said is what I believe. On the fence.

As someone who's had him as my Senator for 16 years, he never takes long to make up his mind.

Maybe he is voting his own conscience. In my view, that is the likely explanation.
