All that most of us know about national politics is what the media chooses to tell us, interpreted from what the government chooses to tell them. Therefore, citizens make decisions on the often-skewed information that we are given.

I was amazed at the sucker ”agreement” negotiated with Iran. Most negotiations end in a “win-win.” This one is “they win, we lose.”

This “agreement” is a clever name change from a “treaty.” Obama knows its flaws would not meet the constitutional requirements needed for a treaty. He used a United Nations procedure to make this an international law.

The agreement: Iran gets billions of dollars, has sanctions lifted, continues its nuclear programs, and has inspections only by Iranian inspectors. Return of the Americans held captive by Iran was omitted. How could common sense negotiators have accepted this agreement?

The negotiation’s purpose was aimed at eliminating Iran’s nuclear bomb program, with U. S. inspectors allowed into Iran without warning. Our negotiators failed.

This proposed agreement was correctly opposed by Sen. Susan Collins. Sen. Angus King voted as usual with the wussy Obama administration.

A bloc of Democrat senators protected this Obama debacle from any Republican action. Their blind Democrat party loyalty puts the USA in danger. No Republican voted for this agreement.

Iran has repeatedly vowed death to America. The attacks will not exclude Democrats. What benefit is there to the Democrats if they are nuked?
