Treason could be proved easily if the actions of the GOP resulted in Iran maneuvering, getting time to build a bomb, etc.
The actions of the GOP are, as usual, very stupid and not thought out at all.
First the WH and Pentagon have to make sure these 47 NEVER see another drop of classified info.

This is the MO of them all...shout it down and accuse others to distract from the facts.

But to dumb people the GOPer seemed to make sense.

(2,388 posts)If I were Iran and saw my window of opportunity for an agreement slipping away with the rise of a new wave of anti-Iran war mongering Republican insanity in America, I would certainly be motivated to achieve a solid agreement with Obama tout de suite. Is this a good cop, bad cop ploy? Even if not, it could actually work in favor of this Iran nuclear issue.

They know the GOP controls the congress...and that Obama is in a weak position.

(6,002 posts)of a broken and hijacked gov't. It gets worst with each passing day.
This group should be ousted immediately, there has to be some kind of safeguard against gov't employees going AWOL, overriding a sitting president, as though they are the leaders and he is obsolete.
It is not their job to act on their own whims. Treason should be dealt with, there is no accountability.
Sabotage is clearly their aim.
This guy is a fool running at the mouth.
TY Thom Hartmann for your fine work!

(2,065 posts)But boy, how far we have fallen in just forty years! Nixon sabotaged the Paris Peace Talks in secret; Reagan worked behind the scenes to sabotage Jimmy Carter's efforts to free the hostages. And now, a bunch of despicable Republican bastards go out and commit a treasonous act right out in the open, in open defiance of a sitting US President! America will have fully conquered the demons of its racist past not when they merely elect a black President, but when they also give a black President the same level of honor and respect that they would give a white President. It's not the man who holds the office - his party, his politics or his race that matters, it's the office itself, and the fact that the President is duly and democratically elected by the people.
