After giving a questionable victory to Obama on the economy, then finally acquiescing to the 3-year-too-late-possible repeal of DADT, Republican senators have renewed their mission to make President Obama a one-term failure while guaranteeing further Billions wasted on the boondoggle that will never die - "missile defense":"I've decided I cannot support the treaty," said McConnell on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning. "I think the verification provisions are inadequate, and I do worry about missile defense implications." Mitch McConnell was Obama's key "partner" in the bipartisan tax law that will begin the serious erosion of Social Security. And the petty Homophobe McCain? |

On Saturday, the Senate defeated an amendment by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), another opponent of the agreement, to amend the treaty's preamble by separating the issue of missile defense from efforts to reduce American and Russian stockpiles of nuclear weapons.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Ma.) strongly objected to McCain's move, pointing out that the preamble is not a binding part of the document and such changes would slow down the approval process by months. Senate Republicans have politicized every move by the President. They had (and may still have) a standing hold on every law before them. And they are still striving to cause his failure and prevent anything and everything done by their House counterparts from becoming law.
If this, after the first 100 or so actions Republican senators have taken against democracy, does not once and for all convince our two Senators to kill the filibuster on January 5, nothing will.
And Barack Obama will yet be the victim of his own irrational quest for bipartisan support of those who hate his guts are working daily towards his failure. |
