I think you have it mixed up. A poster or two on here have said that anyone opposed is racist because of Powell. You cannot have it both ways in the need to call racist.

EVERYONE knew that the other parties in this deal wanted it badly. They do not have the ties to Israel that we used to have....they have had business deals and want the sanctions to end for their own economy.

The americans, 3/4 of them, of course do not have the knowledge of Sen Cardin but they see a very famaliar pattern emerging. If you have read the links supplied about the backroom arm twisting in congress on this deal, the rush to the UN to make congress look bad, and the minipulation to dis allow even a vote, it is eerily like the ACA bill.

We have bowed to Russia, etc so their economy can thrive.....we make certain conditions when negotiations began AND THEN THE COUNTRY WAS INTERESTED. We gave in on ALL points during negotiations. The President is ignoring the american citizens on this and is playing his political games once again.....and by the way, he is good at it, but I always hoped that statesmanship would trump party.....that the good of our country would trump party.

And speakng of Trump....he is getting attention because of our President and his politicking. Americans are just sick of it....not just his side, but his side has really gotten good at it and are forcing our country down a very slippery slope.
