...to describe the shallow, predictable objections to the deal. Opponents' decision to be against the Iran Deal IS clearly based on ignorance...sort of like the voting patterns in November, 2004. People are ignorant of how this benefits them.

Maybe that is why Kerry doesn't rest on selling this to the people and to Congress. Even though he has the votes to prevent overriding a presidential veto, he is pushing all the way to the finish line for ALL the possible votes he can win.
