Joe Sestak responds to Sen. Toomey signing the letter to Iran

[Number9Dream]

snip> "Senators have the absolute right to argue and disagree with the President’s approach to any issue. But for Sen. Toomey to sign a letter to a foreign leader urging that leader to ignore the institution of the American Presidency is inexcusable, embarrassing, and shows a lack of experience and understanding about America’s standing in the world, led first and foremost by the U.S. President."

snip> "That Sen. Corker, the Republican Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, did not sign the letter underscores the recklessness of Sen. Toomey’s political actions – that he would tell a leader who wishes us ill to ignore our President’s endeavor. Signing the letter only serves to disrupt a possible effort to bring about a peaceful resolution to the nuclear weapons issue with Iran."

snip> "And if the nuclear talks fail, Toomey offers no other option except to go directly to war. Then, once again, we will have a representative who will have pushed our nation into war and – with no skin of his own in the game – will once again walk away from the men and women he sent into battle by voting against 12 Department of Veterans Affairs’ appropriations bills after his vote for the war in Iraq."

1. Smart move to issue this statement immediately.

The comments (following the article) are very interesting, too. Seems to be a lot of support for Sestak.

2. I would have been shocked if he had not signed it.

Toomey is about as bad as you can get for representation of the people of this state and the US. I am still disgusted that he is a PA Senator. How that happened is beyond me.
