I am not a big fan of either party, but everybody does it is a poor tool for debate.
It took Tom Cotton; someone newly elected since last November, to show the bold sense of leadership and make a statement to Obama. Im glad they did it. “
I’m glad they did it, too. And I’m glad that newly elected senator has balls where some of the old kiss-ass guys do not.
I just love these “Girl Bully” campaigns being presented as “journalism.”
Actually there’s a long history of Congress critters meeting with or communicating with foreign leaders including some meetings many of us still remember with considerable pain as kerry helping the communist northViet namese ( while we had a half million of our troops fighting there!) —to the extent they have a full museum display dedicated to him, and his meeting with commie Daniel Ortega and pelosi meeting in person to discuss foreign relations and military questions with Assad in Syria and we could go on and on. The senators’ letter merely recited the U.S. Constitution something that is even more important today now that kerry has revealed obama never planned to let the senate do its constitutional advise and consent on his proposed (non-) treaty anyway.
Paging colon powell
What are you? A beauty contest judge? What are we supposed to derive from his picture? Do you want people to make fun of his tie?
Translation: The deal was a nothingburger, and the letter was a side of fries.
Tom Cotton is a breath of fresh air. We need more new leadership like him. McConnell and Boehner are such disgraces, but what does it say about Congress that they are still firmly where they are??
Indeed.
...so Republicans who signed the letter said it was a bad idea.
Okay, which ones? You haven’t listed any who signed the letter as recanting it. Just their RINO colleagues.
A letter like this was sent by John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and other Democrats during the Reagan administration and they had no problem with it then.
It was a perfect move.
