Republicans pick a bale of Cotton

In other words, they are packaging yet another future Presidential hopeful to add to the roster of crazy they've already ginned up. Yes, I'm talking about Senator Tom Cotton (R), the junior senator from Arkansas.

Not content with having him lead the pack of 47 Senators attempting to subvert the President and Commander in Chief over Iran negotiations, (denounced by editorial boards across the nation) he just finished doing the torture photo-op tour of Guantanamo.

. . .

In case, in all the fury around Cotton leading the band of 47 Senators in their drumbeats towards war with Iran, you don't remember his thoughts on Gitmo, Cotton wants it expanded—not shut.

Cotton has previously slammed President Barack Obama’s call for Guantanamo’s closure, saying last month that the United States “should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe.”

“As far as I’m concerned, every last one of them can rot in hell,” Cotton said of Guantanamo prisoners during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in February. “But as long as they don’t do that, they can rot in Guantanamo Bay.


THE REST:
