RW Talk radio, Faux - and even CNN would be screaming bloody murder.

I feel like I'm the only one that is outraged over this. I just find this reprehensible when it involves securing loose nukes, and assistance with keeping an eye on Iran.

Is anybody else fuming about this? Nobody in the MSM even seems to care.

1. Dems would be accused of aiding the terrorists and hating America.
But because it is the Repunks blocking this treaty.... it is not so bad......sheesh...

3. That is the sad truth. All the media wants to do is paint dems as weak when it comes to foreign
affairs, and here we are trying to do something to make the world a safer place . . . and the media ignores it.
Kyl is getting paid off to block this by the Heritage Foundation.

It's disgusting.

2. We're burned out by outrage overload.
And, seriously, who couldn't have seen this coming?

All we can do is to take every opportunity to label them "UnAmerican" and a danger to our national security - both of which I intend to do at every opportunity.

4. Yep, two stories about security, and the one the msm focuses on is the TSA - which it should, but
I would think they could actually do two stories at once ;)

5. I am absolutely outraged.....
The repubs are doing this for one reason and one reason only....they do not want Obama to get credit and a victory for anything even if it means the safety of all Americans. The repubs are pig vomit in my book and the entire MSM should be outraged and demanding accountability on the part of the repubs. Instead there is silence from the media except from K&R.

9. Yes, it is all about tearing Obama down. Their contempt knows
no bounds even if it means eliminating national security measures. The bastards are showing contempt for us people who elected this president as well. This latest conspiracy against our elected administration is anti-American and falls under the category of treason.

6. MSM is very concerned - with Bristol Palin on DWTS...you know, the IMPORTANT
stuff that all America is worried about...

The MSM is brain dead whores. But with great hair!

8. They'd be squealing that the Democrats want Iran to have nukes
But for some reason, Democrats can't use the exact same tactic, and it doesn't occur to the media chuckleheads that failing to ratify START makes it more possible that Adhmadinejad could get his hands on nuclear weapons.

11. They'd all be screaming
Obama sure tore them a new one in Lisbon today but I'm still waiting for a reaction from the hacks at M$Greedia.
