Tom Cotton: The Most Powerful Man in Washington
RCP ^ | Erick Erickson

Posted on 03/13/2015 4:39:33 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

For Hillary Clinton to claim last week that Tom Cotton's letter was something unique in American history was as big a lie as her claiming she could not put two email accounts on one device. In fact, the Democrats know Tom Cotton's actions are legal. They just do not like his boldness in defiance of a president who increasingly views himself as a dictator.

Try as they might, the Democrats have not been able to completely undermine the idea of three separate but equal branches of government. Their spittle flew when Speaker Boehner invited the Israeli prime minister to speak to Congress. Though they claimed the invitation was some sort of breach of protocol, the Speaker also invited the Pope to speak, and the Democrats made no such claims.

What is really happening is the Democrats were attempting to allow Iran to build up a nuclear program without anyone noticing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Sen. Tom Cotton shed light on the Democrats' plan. The Democrats were left scurrying about like roaches with the light turned on. They do not like it.

The net result of Sen. Cotton's actions has not been an indictment of 47 Republican senators. Instead, Secretary of State John Kerry had to admit President Obama's negotiations with Iran were non-binding and unenforcible [sic]. But for Sen. Tom Cotton, America would never have gotten that admission. It makes the senator one of the few people in Washington who has been able to throw Barack Obama off his game.

This is why the Establishment goes all out to defeat conservatives, because they draw blood!

“This is why the Establishment goes all out to defeat conservatives, because they draw blood!”

Absolutely. When you punch back at the rat Marxists, they fall down. What a surprise - not. I wonder if Sen. Cotton and Netanyahu got together and planned this.

(Are you related to the senator?)

:-)

Haha. No. My screen name refers to Cotton Mather and Benjamin Franklin.

The man who views himself as a dictator is being allowed to act like a dictator and should have been removed from office long ago. Where is Cotton on the list for taking his place? He would make a great senate majority leader.

And old preacher once surmised that “comfort is one of Old Serpent’s best weapons against your Christian witness”… the GOPe RINO caucus and their leaders Boehner and McConnell l have been living the D.C. good life so long they are risk adverse to any stand or action that could threaten their soft cushy privileged lifestyle. “Trouble” makers like Sen. Cotton, Cruz, Rep. Gowdy and a few others scare them more than Obama’s despotism.

He is making the Liberals squeal.

Senator Cotton must be doing something right.

[Too bad his fellow Senior Senator ‘Whatishisname?’ from Arkansas seems to be a backbencher who just tows the party line and is so ‘moderate’ that he scores lower than McCain on the ‘conservative’ scale.]

Some in Arkansas are already seeing Cotton as a potential presidential contender in the future. They are trying to get the Arkansas law changed that would allow contenders to run for the Senate and the Presidency at the same time.
