That the GOP would vote for a war that creates thousands of disabled persons, have the treaty endorsed by respected members of the GOP like McCain (POW) and Bob Dole - who came to the vote in a wheelchair - and attack Obama for surrendering the US' role as the leader of the free world - and then vote against this treaty on essentially NO grounds....shameful. How anyone can even apologize for this party is beyond me.
