In reply to the discussion: Treaty to expand disability rights overseas is threatened in Senate, frustrating Senator John Kerry [View all]ladym55

We have a GOOD Senator ... Sherrod Brown, and then we have Rob Portman, the man who was almost Rmoney's running mate. I was SO mad that he was one of the 38 morons who apparently makes decisions based on whack-a-doodle conspiracy theories. He got quite the email from me tonight. I reminded him WHO negotiated the treaty and WHO was sitting in the chamber waiting for his vote.
I heard Kerry's closing argument. It showed his frustration with the incredible stupidity of his fellow Senators. I want to know when the Republicans will figure out that they need to grow up and participate in the life of this nation.

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?
