Gettin' It Done - 27

Remembering that nothing in Washington happens without the GOP saying OK at some point, Obama managed to get the new START treaty OK'd.  So lemme see if I've got the basic GOP position on armaments right.  We wanna limit the numbers of nuclear weapons and delivery systems - and we wanna commit to these limits as a way to demonstrate to the world that we're peace-loving and law-abiding, and we expect everybody else to do the same; because we believe that when we reduce the number of weapons in the world, the world becomes a safer place.  Is that about it?  You can see where I'm goin' with this cantcha?

The world is safer without so many weapons, but here in the US, we have to make sure that everybody in every saloon, every school, every library, bus station, every church is packin' a gat.  Cuz that's what'll keep us all safe.

They say that shit with a straight face too.

27. Achieved New START Treaty: Signed with Russia (2010) and won ratification in Congress (2011) of treaty that limits each country to 1,550 strategic warheads (down from 2,200) and 700 launchers (down from more than 1,400), and reestablished and strengthened a monitoring and transparency program that had lapsed in 2009, through which each country can monitor the other.
