In reply to the discussion: Treaty to expand disability rights overseas is threatened in Senate, frustrating Senator John Kerry [View all]Mass
(27,315 posts)4. Just listening to Kerry's closing argument.
Excellent, but this will not be enough, I fear.
These idiots will vote against a treaty started by George HW Bush, signed by Bush, supported by Dole and McCain, for purely frivolous reasons.
ADDED after vote: well, 38 idiots who are more interested giving a defeat to Obama than caring about the right of disabilities.

Somethings should trump politics and this was one. I can't help but view those no votes as heartless

Incredibly, somehow John Stewart seems to think that Kerry was unfair to little Johnnie!

Exactly how would he get the 67 votes needed for the treaty with no Republicans?
