Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the heir-apparent to Sen. Harry Reid's post as Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, has possibly traded good sense for his re-election money pit by stating he will vote against the Iran Deal. His reasoning is vague and unimpressive: "We don't have enough facts yet." Meaning: "I've read it and my Israeli friends don't like it."
What? You are surprised one of our senators would trade his vote for some easy cash that could guarantee keeping him in office? Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, the citizens of Israel, and the Jewish contingency in New York have all made their wishes well known: This deal must not pass! We all remember the "GOP arranged trip" Netanyahu made to our U.S. House to convince our mugwumps not to allow this deal of the president to pass. It was as if Israel had become a voting member of our Legislature. Israel is certainly one of our most admired allies, but when has America not defended them to the fullest? When have we not sent billions of dollars to their aid and comfort?
It's sad, but true. No political party holds a patent on voting against the will of the people and for his or her own needs. The Iran Deal may be one of the most important decisions our current congressional mugwumps will face. Bluntly, some will tell us that it's simply a matter of peace or war.
But, alas...I guess it's not as important as filling up Senator Schumer's coffer with donations for his next election.
Sorry, folks, there is nothing more important than that!
Not even war, evidently.
