Thune: Senate Democrats Choose Partisan Politics Over National Security

 thuneheadernewThune: Senate Democrats Choose Partisan Politics Over National Security

“Instead of providing protection to our allies and freedom to U.S. citizens held by Iran, Senate Democrats are going to great lengths to protect this disastrous deal, which gives Iran billions of dollars to fund terrorism in the region.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) issued the following statement after Senate Democrats again blocked an up-or-down vote on the president’s nuclear concession deal with Iran:

“It is disappointing that, given the opportunity to allow Americans to be heard on the deal with Iran, a majority of Senate Democrats have again blocked an up-or-down vote and silenced the voices of the American people, who overwhelmingly oppose this deal.

“In addition to supporting a deal that will result in a nuclear-armed Iran, Senate Democrats unconscionably rejected a common-sense measure that would prohibit the lifting of sanctions until the American hostages in Iran are released and Iran recognizes our ally Israel’s right to exist.

“Instead of providing protection to our allies and freedom to U.S. citizens held by Iran, Senate Democrats are going to great lengths to protect this disastrous deal, which gives Iran billions of dollars to fund terrorism in the region. Unfortunately, extreme party loyalty has once again prevailed over national security on an agreement that will have enormous repercussions for the safety and security of our nation and the stability of the Middle East.”

  1. “Partisan Politics “?–Schhhheeezzzee, what a hypocrite.. How can their supporters accept being talked to like dumb little kids and not be insulted?

  2. “In addition to supporting a deal that will result in a nuclear-armed Iran”–Does this guy assume his supporters are so stupid not to know that the sanctions have not stopped their nuke program? Do they not remember just a few weeks ago their here Nutandwahoo told them that Iran could have a bomb any day…with sanctions? This deal if it works will stop that for years…Thune is an insult to the people of S.D….

    1. The deal is terrible for America and the world, and if you can’t see that you must really be as stupid as you think that people who approve of Thune are. I’ve seen many of your posts, and you would support anything as long as it is a liberal who is pushing the idea.

      1. Anonymous, you really need to do some reading. It’s amusing to read people like you regurgitating the company line without any basis.

        So I suggest you go out and actually read some of the reports on this from different sources. You will change your mind once the Truth has set you free.

        Remember, a man who won’t read doesn’t have any advantage over a man who can’t read…
