Even Politico, a reliably leftist media outlet that has done its best to support Barack Obama from pillar to post, is now tacitly acknowledging that hard-line Senator Tom Cotton has won his battle with the administration over the letter he authored to Iran that was signed by 46 other GOP senators.
Key to understanding Cotton’s victory are two developments: the White House doing its damndest to vilify him on the Sunday talks shows, thus acknowledging he had not been defeated, and the refusal of Democrats who had rejected Obama’s focus on diplomacy to abandon their position despite the White House attempting to use Cotton’s letter to persuade them to do so.
Establishment GOP members who denigrated Cotton’s effort and refused to sign it, like Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, joined by Michael Gerson, former speechwriter for George W. Bush, were left behind as not one whit of support for sanctions melted away.

Need some Cotton Balls Mitch?
The latest sputtering from sos horseface (who, if you didn’t know, was in Vietnam) is that “theletter is factually wrong.”
The letter is factually correct — Cotton, et. al. are making it clear to Iran that just because Lucy is holding the football for you that by no means is a promise it will be there when you try to kick it.
Completely, factually true.
McConnell is as bad as Reid.
That idiot turtle would try to use them to clean the acne on his face.
I predict Cotton will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. God Bless him! If only more of Congress would show some spine!

...or possibly because his balls, like the Speaker’s, are in a lockbox somewhere.. and if they don’t want whatever blackmail is held over them released, they will continue to give only lip-service to conservative ideas.
Tom Cotton better watch his back ,IRS is already checking him out
Whaatt?During the Reagan administration Senator John Kerry went to Nicaragua and negotiated with the Marxist Daniel Ortega. Kerry did not just sign a letter, he negotiated as though he was Secretary of State at the time. This should be shouted from the rooftops.
Tom Cotton has been a blast— ably getting into the head of Obama and therefore, Kerry, and dragging 48 other senators along with him.
It’s been a long time coming, seeing those two checkmated, and in public for all to see around the world.
Thank you, Tom Cotton! This is leadership!
Tom Cotton has more brains and common sense in his pinky finger...then Obama has in his entire body!!!
It’s not nice or fair to judge people by their looks, but whenever I see a picture of Mitch McConnell I think “the man has no chin”.
...or he owes too many people.
