Doubling down on stupid.
On March 10, 2015, several prominent GOP presidential hopefuls rushed to support the ill-considered Republican Senate letter, addressed to Irans leaders. The letter which sparked public outcry, and caused the hashtag #47Traitors to trend on Twitter, may be backfiring on the Senators who signed it. But that didnt stop Republican presidential contenders from chiming in to say that they also favored undermining the Presidents multilateral negotiations with the Iranian government. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindahl, Texas Governor Rick Perry, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, all voiced their support for the letter on Tuesday.
Bobby Jindahl said in a statement:
Every single person thinking about running for president, on both sides, should sign on to this letter to make clear to Iran that they are negotiating with a lame duck president. Make no mistakeany Iran deal that President Obama makes is not binding on a future president.
Rick Santorum voiced his support, stating:
Senator Cotton is correct, the United States Senate plays an important role in moments like this and President Obama cannot usurp their authority
I am grateful that the U.S. Senate is exercising their constitutional prerogative to stop this reckless diplomacy by the Obama-Kerry-Clinton foreign policy team.
Apparently somebody also forgot to remind Mr. Santorum that Hillary Clinton is no longer heading the State Department.
Texas Governor Rick Perry tweeted:
I would be proud and honored to sign the letter @SenTomCotton has put forward on Iran.

(25,252 posts)they won't be held for treason they're signing on. They're cowards. They're bullies. They're racists. They're chicken hawks. They're weasels. They're lemmings. They're clowns.
The House Repugs brought in Bibi to embarrass the President. The Senate Repugs sent this letter to embarrass the President. The clowns are signing on to embarrass themselves. All know they won't face any consequences. So why not be like the others. They haven't figured out how they are harming their Party.
