Discussion: Top Senate Republican: GOP Letter To Iran Not 'Constructive'

Discussion for article #234157

Even a stopped clock in a Republican chamber is right twice a day.

Constructive??? Where did Corker get the idea that ANYTHING that the REPUDS do is meant to be Constructive?

Not if they keep changing where the hands point, it isn’t.

Well, exactly. What’s alarming is that ‘Senate collegiality’ has already ensnared Kane, Nelson and presumably a few other Democratic Senators. Maybe this stupid backfiring letter will help put the kibosh* to Corker’s bill.

[Some figure the word kibosh derives from the Arabic word qurbāsh, meaning a “nothing” that starts at the end of something.
E.g. if you want a hot dog no more than 1 foot long, you have to do something to limit its length. Using a ruler or directing your cook or enforcing a regulation, anything to ensure the dog doesn’t go beyond that outer limit limit of 1 foot, could constitute ‘putting the kibosh’ to the length of the dog – IOW you’d be acting to ensure there’s ‘nothing’ beyond that limit.]

This letter and the Netanyahoo thing is all about the Jewish vote in Florida in 2016.
