he is not some uneducated backwater goober but is a Harvard-educated variety hack of the worst order. You should read his biography.

Given the letter, I think I'll throw the GOP senators into that category, too.

this guy has been in the military and served in Afghanistan. He doesn't have a problem with fighting. I had a pitched argument yesterday on FB with a guy like this who had just retired from military. He considers the President a traitor and cold jam more teabagger garbage in one short paragraph than letters. He also managed to tell me to quit posting if all I could post was liberal stuff. And that was on my own FB page. Haha.

and the others are the rabid teabaggers. Knowing he is getting hammered by Republicans is an affirmation that sane Republicans are as outraged as we are.

7. Traitor Tom Cotton to Meet with Defense Contractors

<snip>
Tomorrow, 24 hours later, Cotton will appear at an “Off the Record and strictly Non-Attribution” event with the National Defense Industrial Association, a lobbying and professional group for defense contractors.

The NDIA is composed of executives from major military businesses such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, ManTech International, Boeing, Oshkosh Defense and Booz Allen Hamilton, among other firms.

Cotton strongly advocates higher defense spending and a more aggressive foreign policy. As The New Republic’s David Ramsey noted, “Pick a topic — Syria, Iran, Russia, ISIS, drones, NSA snooping — and Cotton can be found at the hawkish outer edge of the debate…During his senate campaign, he told a tele-townhall that ISIS and Mexican drug cartels joining forces to attack Arkansas was an ‘urgent problem.'”

On Iran, Cotton has issued specific calls for military intervention. In December he said Congress should consider supplying Israel with B-52s and so-called “bunker-buster” bombs — both items manufactured by NDIA member Boeing — to be used for a possible strike against Iran.

When the mad Zionist casino owners wife's purse fell from the gallery onto the heads of the bought and paid for GOP Senators in a Congress busy boot licking Netanhayu - that had to be a message from above.

Followed by a meeting with merchants of death to pick up his bag of cash......awesome.

...this particular treasonous act, and Cotton's past political stunts puts him in a class of dumbshits who appeal to other dumbshits; not a particularly complicated endeavor.
