Deb Fischer says Iran nuclear deal should go back to drawing board

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Robynn Tysver

U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer isn’t buying the idea that if Congress rejects the Iran nuclear deal, the only other option is war.

She also isn’t buying the deal.

The Nebraska Republican made it crystal clear Tuesday that she will vote to reject the deal with Iran, saying it’s better to have no deal than a bad deal, even if that means this nation runs the risk of alienating its allies on the issue.

“It’s not a choice between having an agreement and going to war. I don’t agree with Democrat Chuck Schumer on a lot of stuff, but I agree with him on this,” said Fischer.

Critics just can't give anybody a viable alternative- or in most cases- anything at all.

If the congress rejects this dealthere won't be another one. The Iranians would have no reason to believe we would honor the next deal either. They would quote rightly castigate the U.S. For being untrustworthy, and they would have the international community with them. We need to primary every fucking Democrat who votes against this.

I just saw another commercial from J Street Education.

Last week it was that American Coalition Against a Nuclear Iran

Then there's PROSPERTYPAC (Paul Ryan's one -- is that legal?)

AMERICANLIBERTYPAC

BOLTONPAC

Huff did a piece on it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/10/iran-deal-republicans_n_6841976.html

How the hel can anyone think with all that crap flying around?

BTW, I don't consider a republican or any chickenhawk saying they're against the deal to be breaking news.

Thanks for the help, Schumer, now Republicans are French-kissing you to attack Obama.

But they can't tell what that might be or how to get there.
The new mantra "The deal/the treaty/the legislation sucks"
They want to continue to do NOTHING
