Link to reply@DonJBacon @KatemootAdams @sdavis1945 For someone who constantly wants more civility and for people to not lie about contents of bills and articles, you make a lot of stuff up. It's pretty similar to how you've been making things up about Iran so you can have another boogeyman. Since at least 2008. @Bowflexin @KatemootAdams @sdavis1945 Iran just executed individuals because they were LGBT… perhaps you should condemn them too. Link to reply@DonJBacon @KatemootAdams @sdavis1945 I'm not concerned with Iran, I'm concerned with your dishonesty and warmongering. @Bowflexin @KatemootAdams @sdavis1945 I do believe in peace through strength… and the 9th commandment!

And I remind them that if they reach any nuclear deal with Iran, it will be subject to review by Congress under the law – and my colleagues and I will closely scrutinize the terms.
