It's already been delayed for months by the GOP. Only the GOP. What is their holdup? Holdup after holdup? Delay after delay to ratifiying a routine treaty renewal that allows us to continue to do what we've been doing since Reagan. It is the same treaty ratified by the GOP presented under Bush. It has always been viewed as necessary for national security. It originated under Reagan. This treaty is a Reagan idea. What is the problem, GOP?

Oh, yeah: Mitch McConnell has said that the GOP's primary electoral responsibility the next two years is to make sure Barack Obama doesn't get re-elected.

That's taking one's election to run our country seriously! What a bunch of freekin' losers the GOP has turned into. They put their political careers above our country. 100% of the time.
