The topic of discussion<\/a> right now is the nuclear deal reached with Iran<\/a>. What is needed is an open, honest discussion about what the deal does and what it doesn’t do. What we are getting is political garbage.<\/p>\n

Townhall.com<\/a> posted an article today which perfectly illustrates what has happened to honest debate in America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Regardless of bipartisan opposition, the White House<\/a> is pinning opposition and criticism of the current deal and process on Republicans. The administration is painting Republican concerns as illegitimate while at the same time entertaining the same concerns of “principled” Democrats<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“My view is that there are a number of members of Congress<\/a> that have considered this in a principled way. And those are members of Congress with whom we can have legitimate conversations about our efforts to try and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon<\/a>,” Earnest (Josh Earnest, White House Press Secretary). said Monday afternoon. “There are a substantial number of members of Congress, all of them Republicans as far as I can tell, who have engaged in an effort to just undermine the talks from the very beginning.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the sort of remarks that make cooperation between the political parties very difficult. Voters who are thoughtfully considering issues will view these statements as one more reason to tune out Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This really is not the way to run a country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
