Cardin to oppose Iran nuclear deal
Source: Baltimore Sun
Sen. Ben Cardin, the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday he will oppose the nuclear agreement with Iran — a position that won't stop the deal but is a setback for supporters who want to keep a Republican resolution of disapproval from reaching the White House.
The Maryland lawmaker cited concerns with the inspections regime called for in the agreement, the difficulty world leaders may have reimposing sanctions, and the fact that Tehran will not be required to disclose its past efforts to build a nuclear weapon.
"There's high risk in both directions, but I think the risk is higher in the long run by going forward with this agreement," Cardin told The Baltimore Sun. "There is no reason to believe that Iran won't continue its past activities."

Cardin, who was under intense pressure from deal supporters and opponents, dismissed any suggestion that his timing was politically motivated. Instead, he said, he was deliberately working his way through the details. That's consistent with the way Cardin has approached tough issues in the past, when he has often deliberated until just days before the vote.

Jews, including Jewish elected representatives, can oppose the Iran deal without it having anything to do with religion or other patently antisemitic canards such as purported loyalty to a foreign state.
Given the current polling and declared or anticipated votes, there sure are a whole lot non-Jews who are either mind-controlled by those dastardly Jews or apparently have foreign allegiances, including Senator Menendez.
It's when I read and hear such ridiculous, bigoted garbage, often tolerated on a purportedly liberal, Democratic website, that I begin to question my lifelong Democratic Party registration.
