Supporters of Israel have rights too.

Of course they have rights. And when they exercise their rights in ways some of us find reprehensible, we have the right to say so.

BTW I'm not the first PP.


Reprehensible?

That is my impression of him - creepy. Weird.


Ha ha.
I like Cotton.
Liberals don’t like Cotton - we get that.
And if you think a few liberals finding him “creepy” or “weird” is going to change opinions, well, LOL!!
And, anyone who uses the term “ahole” needs to grow up.


Of course it won't change anyone's opinion. Just answering the pp's question about whether anyone knew him. I did. He was a jerk and creepy. I'm not even liberal (though certainly left of cotton).

No idea, and I didn't work there, but Google reveals articles indicating that it might have had a little something to do with wanting to serve in the military. I know that's hard to understand for most people here.

The thing I can't understand how there are so few Republicans in the Senate who are willing to distance themselves from Cotton. As Joseph Welch once asked Senator McCarthy, have they no sense of decency?

Cotton received $700,000 for his senate campaign from the Emergency Committee for Israel.That’s correct -- $700,000! Such an exorbitant amount of money ensures that Cotton is one of the most pro-Israel senators in Congress. During the 2014 Israeli invasion of Gaza, when over 500 Palestinian were killed, Cotton called the Israeli defense force “the most moral, humanitarian fighting force in the world.” In December he said Congress should consider supplying Israel with B-52s and so-called “bunker-buster” bombs for a possible strike against Iran.


Yes, everything revolves around Israel.


Actually it was almost $1 million.

Gotta love this quote:

"To have women serving in infantry, though, could impair the mission-essential tasks of those units. And that’s been proven in study after study, it’s nature, upper body strength, and physical movements, and speed, and endurance, and so forth."

What studies? I studied this at GAO several years ago and this is absolutely NOT was found to be true.


Why do they have different standards for women? i.e. lower.

If women can meet the same standards, of course they should be able to fill the job. But, don't lower the standards.

+1000 And, I am a woman.
