What would happen if Senator Barack Obama, Joe Biden or any Democrat campaigned with a Senator who obstructed legislation that would tighten Iranian sanctions? What would the RNC, RJC, or the McCain campaign say? What would Governor Sarah Palin say?

Earlier this week, Palin joined U.S. Senator Wayne Allard to campaign together in Colorado. Allard is the Senator who "exercised his prerogative to obstruct the legislation." According to Ron Kampeas of The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, this means that, "The Senate has adjourned this session and it is unlikely that it will reconvene before the new Congress next year, when the bill would have to be reintroduced from scratch. That costs time, a precious commodity that Israel and pro-Israel groups say is dwindling as Iran moves closer to acquiring a nuclear bomb, perhaps as early as next year."

Give me a break. Can't the GOP put partisan politics aside to pass this important anti-Iran sanctions bill? To make it worse this was the second time the Republicans blocked this bill in a month. Here are a couple of blog posts here and here that were posted at the time.
