11 GOP Senators Provide Laughs for Russian Generals

For reasons I cannot fathom 11 GOP Senators have voted to advance the START "Disarming America" Treaty to a final vote on Wednesday:

In one of the most activist lame-duck sessions ever, Democrats and President Obama appeared on the verge Tuesday of pulling off a series of stunning legislative victories during a term that can’t end soon enough for Republicans, who are increasingly frustrated that November’s landslide has given way to what one senator described as GOP “capitulation.”

The latest Democratic victory: A 67-28 vote Tuesday closing off debate on the President’s New START treaty with Russia limiting nuclear arms. Despite a tense, closed-door meeting among GOP senators before the vote, 11 Republicans agreed to close off debate on the New START agreement.

Observers say that means the treaty is very likely to be ratified as early as Wednesday.

Absolutely foolish. This treaty will weaken our defense and will take nothing away from Russian capability. They lie, it's in their nature. They'll go ahead and do whatever they want while we disarm ourselves.

In Obama's perfect world America doesn't have a nuclear capability. This treaty is another step in the process and those Republicans who helped make this possible should pay.  Some are already leaving the Senate, but those that remain should expect some competition in the next primary.
