Iâm guessing the baggers thought this was a great idea until it made them look like traitorous bagger idiots.

I would have regrets too knowing he will be in history books forever as being one of the 47 senators who set a precedent on sending letters to foreign countries telling them not to trust the POTUS on foreign diplomacy

Sure hope Russ can put this clown back in itâs box. I have no idea if he even showed up in the Senate in the past six years. And then he lets Bill Kristol and some gung ho war veteran pull him by the nose into signing an idiotic, anti American, letter to the Iranians?

Wisconsin also had the wisdom to elect Joe McCarthy to the Senate.
And now their Gov. Walker is a leading candidate for President.
What idiocy!

Moron apparently doesnât understand how Congress works. The Senate will get its chance to âevaluate and judgeâ the treaty when it comes up for ratification. But until then, they donât get to sit in on the negotiations, which is how the Constitution lays out the separation of powers in regard to treaty making (article II, section 2: He [POTUS] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur")

Some lemmings heard saying that this is not the right cliff to jump off of, but that they would do it again.

We have some very dangerous people in Congress who possess the power to really harm us in so many ways. We are in some deep shit if more of them get into power. Johnson is a very dangerous man because he is is stupid.

Not to mention, this deal is NOT a treaty.

the only regret is who itâs addressed to
Hey numb nuts, the only problem is âwho itâs addressed toâ. Do you remember that freedom thing here domestically, you know the free speech we used to be famous for?

âYou donât get do-overs with sensitive foreign
policy negotiations and Ron Johnsonâs âoopsiesâ moment on the reckless
letter he signed to Iran is just the latest example of how he puts
partisanship and the Tea Party before common sense,â Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee press secretary Sadie Weiner said in
response.
Wish we had more of this kind of direct talk from the left consistently.

Maybe heâs saying he hadnât thought that Hassan Rouhani isnât some backward Arab terrorist but is Persian dude who is more highly educated than himself.

I would have more respect for them if they just said out loud that they want war with Iran instead of hiding behind Netanyahuâs skirt. At least you know what HE is about.

Mr. Johnson says this treaty should be âevaluated and judged by the American people through their representativesâ. That would be well and good if the people in Congress were really representing the American people instead of big Farms, Big Oil, despicable corporate, profits first people like the Koch brother, Sheldon Adelson and any one else who can afford to buy themselves a politician.
Our elections are over processed, over packaged and completely GMO products (generally mendacious and obsequious)toads.

As God is my witness, as God is my witness theyâre not going to lick me. Iâm going to live through this and when itâs all over, Iâll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, Iâll never be hungry again.

The content of this letter was as close to wish fulfillment as they could get, because they wished they could send something similar to the president telling him no matter what he proposed they would reject and anything that passed would be null and void in 2017. That letter would have had a lot more signatures, however, including all the red state guvs.
