Influential Democratic Senator Says He Will Vote Against Iran Nuclear Deal

Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who is in line to be Democratic leader when Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada steps down next year, says he will vote against the president's nuclear control deal with Iran.

In a post on Medium, Schumer says after "considerable soul-searching," he has decided he can't support the agreement.

Schumer says among his reservations about the deal is that it does not allow for inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities at any time. He adds:

"Even more troubling is the fact that the U.S. cannot demand inspections unilaterally. By requiring the majority of the 8-member Joint Commission, and assuming that China, Russia, and Iran will not cooperate, inspections would require the votes of all three European members of the P5+1 as well as the EU representative. It is reasonable to fear that, once the Europeans become entangled in lucrative economic relations with Iran, they may well be inclined not to rock the boat by voting to allow inspections."

Even if you are the most Socialist Democrat out there and you personally stand to receive a gazillion dollars for voting for this deal, and get to have all the ruling power you want, you have to ask yourself the Question:

What is my world going to be like when Iran gets nukes and the missiles to deliver them, and will my gazillions be worth more than ten cents when they start launching them and will there be a US worth ruling?

Schumer is Jewish. I highly doubt anyone had to pay him anything for his concern for Israel. Something so common sense and obvious, they just don't get it, however they present brain-dead comments anyway. Yes, many of the commenters are so narrow minded, they need someone to think for them. Only a dufus would question Schumer's motive in this case.

Of course he will. Where do you think he gets money from?? Jewish community.

10:53 is a fine example of a dufus. The money in the Jewish community doesn't come near that of super pacs telling morons whose best for president. If you aren't smart enough to listen to debates and understand each candidates motives, just close you eyes in the voting booth, wouldn't be any different than your ignorance of the information to make a choice by your own mind! Like Imclain always says, keep cheering idiots.

Well its either stand up for Jews or let them be exterminated by this Iran deal.

Sounds like someone hit a nerve with the libitard English major. Haha. Actually 10:53 is correct and you should check the donors dufus before you rant your holier than now speech. I'm always amused when people call out others to make a pointless rant.
