    Eh, it's just one guy claiming it. Thankfully he doesn't represent the entire GOP.

    I have just really gotten past sick of these childish games like this that politicians continuously play when it comes to getting things passed. They should just grow the hell up and act like adults. The next two years are going to be a friggin' nightmare.
    It's a nuclear arms reduction treaty between the United States and Russia.

    But on a side note, I don't understand how anyone can possibly vote down something reduces nuclear weapons. Especially considering all the men on Capital Hill were alive during the Cold War. Politics before humanity. Sick.

    alive, sure... but were they sober? I swear, half of our politicians have to have a severe drinking problem to account for their lack of comprehension... charlie rangel and michelle bachman clear front runners on my list for illicet drugs and alchaholisem.

    On a side note, Michele Bachmann's district has the city with the highest DUI rate in Minnesota. When I went to school there, we used to play a game..."count how many whisky plates you can find on the way to the grocery store". So, her constituents are probably drunk all the time....the reason they vote her in time after time.

    I think we need to worry more about these being terrible acronyms.

    Maybe they should be BITCHES, or STFU.
