Americans Want Congress To Have A Say On Iran Deal

[still_one]

A significant majority of Americans want Congress to be involved in the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran, according to a new Suffolk University/USA Today poll conducted April 8-13.

The national survey of 1,000 Americans found that 72 percent -- a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and independents -- want Congress to have a say on whether the United States should support the deal. Only 19 percent disagree.

and where we these folks when GWB invaded Iraq, and had no problem with Congress giving him the right to do that, which incidently is part of the reason the whole middle east is even more destabilized.

With Americans demonstrating their judgement in the last midterm elections, I have come to conclude, that we deserve everything we have coming to us.

Our government is a reflection of the people who voted for them

1. Under "normal" circumstances

with a functioning Sane congress I would agree. However, these are Not Normal times and we sure as Hell Do Not Have a Functioning Congress with reasonable people making very, very serious issues that actually can determine life or death situations.

I don't have Any trust in this congress. I don't understand why anyone would.....

4. Wasn't there a poll last week that said just the opposite?

Over 70% agreed with the deal. The deal did NOT include the pea brain congress for permission. Obama should just give them the finger on this.

5. You do understand that those are two separate issues, right? Many people including a big block

of elected Democrats feel that congress as the legislative branch of government as an institution should have the power to weigh in on the deal. They also may believe that when they exercise their legislative authority to weigh in on the deal that they support this particular deal.

Two very different things.
