Republicans: Who are these people? They are not working for us anymore.

http://www.blue-route.org/blog/blog/domestic-issues/republicans-who-are-these-people/

In recent days the Republicans have claimed the letter written by the majority of the Republican senators was not a crime.  They have claimed it was a joke.  They try to use Nancy Pelosi’s going to Syria as a dishonest deflection, conveniently forgetting John McCain went to Syria during President Obama’s Administration.  Even if all their disingenuous claims were correct, and they are not, the Republicans made a horrible mistake.
Who knows what they were thinking, or if they were thinking, but in their efforts to please the far right of their party they have insulted  some of our staunchest allies.  President Obama was not the only one negotiating this agreement, and these senators didn’t think about the insult they were showing these other nations.  They have diminished the standing of the USA in the world.  Playing politics during such important negotiations has proven that Republicans can not be trusted with foreign policy now or in the future.
Senators are supposed to be the adults in the room, putting the security of this country before all else, and making sure the American people and this country’s needs are full filled.  What other mistakes have Republicans made?  Can they be trusted?  I doubt it.
