republicans would be castrating democrats if they blocked a nuclear arms treaty.

i didn't hear from one democrat this am defending START.

1. We can't pass START because it would limit our ability to nuke the shit out of the fucking Ruskies.

That's at least the message the GOP is sending diplomatically. The ONLY real reason they don't want to pass it is because it would be a feather in Obama's cap.

2. all morning i've seen the tape of mcconnell saying why he can't vote for it

no one disputing his bullshit, no one saying a goddam thing in it's support'

[HopeHoops]

3. I think the Dems are just picking their fights carefully. The GOP will block START anyway.

There's not much time left and if it is a lost cause, let it be the GOP's fault and move on to something that can get passed. It will come up again early in the next session. The rest of the world understands better than most Americans that the GOP isn't interested in what is good for our country or the world. This isn't going to trigger WW-III.
