The liberal mindset in this country is the biggest problem today. Americans are fully aware that Obama is the single worst president in the history of the country and his policies have failed and are actually making things worse. Unemployment is just one example. So all the left can do is start name calling, which is exactly what has happened.
This is why the left only gets a brief bit of power and then the country snaps back to reality and votes in a moderate or conservative and just plain common sense.
It was ready to be signed months ago.

This was a great interview and Biden slams the right as well for being cry-babies that they have to work during vacation time during such a crucial time. At least one person in the white house has a pair

All this porkulus crap has been in their desk drawers just for this opportunity.

Washington politicians need to be told via emails, letters and by phone that this will not stand.

Whatever your political persuasion or beliefs, voice your concerns to your elected officials NOW!

No one will speak for you.....

I oppose this treaty because the Russians have NEVER honored ANY treaty with the US in it's past.

Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are building up their nuclear arsenals as we speak. Do you REALLY think they're doing so as a defensive posture? Defense of whom? Their buildup has one and only one use. Offensive first strike capability that ensures their survival in an exchange. And they KNOW we have a weak minded leader in the White House and a like minded Congress with people Reid and Pelosi who are hell bent on destroying not just the nuclear capabilities of the US but also the basic military strength we possess. They know that if they can negotiate to have 50% of our defense capabilties reduced, their offensive capabilities are doubled. The communist mindset is that if you are weaker, you are inferior and therefore destined to be subjugated and/or eliminated.

They have had control for 4 years and 2 years of total control and they wait until they get DEFEATED to pull this crap on us.

Go home Joe and take the worst congress in history with you.
Exactly, we want them all to just go home now, no votes on anything, we will do our best to clean up their messes in 2011.

The Russian nukes have prob not even been kept in operating condition, and unable to be launched, and yet we will dismantle our operational missiles and they just check off a missile that has already ended up in the scrap pile.

I understand your point, but we are talking about the most inept, most corrupt congress in the nation's history, we do not want these fools passing any more legislation.... period.

If you are in anyway defending the actions of the current Pelosi/Reid congress, then you are delusional and are not in possession of a sound mind.
