And WHY is Kyl blocking the START treaty? Follow the money -

For example, on Monday, Russ Vought, Political Director of Heritage Action for America, launched a nation-wide action alert to call Senator Kyl's office and urge him to reject the administration's offer of “an additional $4 billion for modernizing America’s nuclear arsenal in exchange for the Senate’s confirmation of New START.” Heritage action is an advocacy arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation which opposes the New START Treaty because of policy concerns. The Heritage Foundation has buckets of money and freedom to advocate for their position. It is not surprising that Senator Kyl's statement reflects equivocation.

Oh yes, I have my eyes fixated on Jon Kyl this morning.

1. I think it's simpler than that. They want Obama and Dems to fail, period. nt

3. Definitely, and now receiving funds from the Heritage foundation to help in that defeat.
The republican strategy:
Cap loose nukes and maintain an ally to oversee Iran vs Seeing Obama fail.

Seeing Obama fail wins!

4. TAX-EXEMPT Heritage Foundation. I think it's important to include that
when discussing them.
