reminding repukes about their mantra "partisanship must end at US borders, beyond that we are one."

for going against the President's authority and batting for the external forces.

Partisanship is supposed to end at the borders remember? Thus everyone supported Bush's stupid Iraq war because that mantra was repeated over and over and over ad nauseum on TV. That made it untenable for moderate democrats and they ended up voting for the Iraq war.

Why doesn't it work in the reverse where repukes are forced to support diplomacy using the same meme?

Why should the Dems come out now, blasting the repukes? Has any Repuke displayed partisanship in the last few days while in a foreign country? Sorry, I don't understand your logic on this one.

in a major foreign policy triumph. They don't have to do it outside the country.

McConnell.

From your link, Don, Mahalo..

"McConnell has been urging U.S. states not to comply with Obama's power plant rules, and arguing that the U.S. could never meet Obama's target even if those rules do survive.

Obama also renewed his complaints about the 47 Republican senators who sent a letter to Iran's leaders saying that any deal the Iranians made with the U.S. wouldn't necessarily hold up after Obama leaves office.

Of all of it, Obama said: "That's not how we're supposed to run foreign policy regardless of who's president or secretary of state."

Obama said he's still "absolutely positive" that the framework agreement is the best way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. And he added that if the final negotiations don't produce a tough enough agreement, the U.S. can back away from it.

Too busy playing chess? No. He learned who the real owners are.

The other Senator Obama mentioned alongside McCain was McConnell.
