There isn't gonna be anyone else and this minor issue is nothing to get one's panties in a bunch over. Even if one accepts as certain fact that your buddy Amash's (and Conyers) bill was good, which I do not.

We "need to find" nominees in NH and VA, AR is set with a very good nominee who leads his dirty rat opponent.

Disloyalty and contempt to the Constitution is an automatic disqualifier, not a “minor issue”.

Uh huh. So are you a Ron Paul true believer?

Some of us take a more serious approach to political races.

Ain’t nothing more serious than defending the Constitution.

I find you very suspicious my newly arrived friend. Supporter of Mandela as well are you?

The basic problem with Cotton is the fact that he has a huge blind spot that severely compromises his judgment:
Cotton, a U.S. army veteran, also criticized those who compare controversies involving the Internal Revenue Services and the National Security Agency.
“The IRS is full of political partisans like Lois Lerner, who violated their mandates by targeting American citizens for constitutional abuses,” Cotton said. “The NSA by contrast is full of career military officers who follow the law by targeting foreign terrorists to protect American citizens.
The reality, of course, is that the two scandals are identical in their essential nature, and symptomatic of the same underlying rot in our government.

Cotton isn't stupid; he would surely laugh at the notion that putting on a lab coat automatically makes one smart or that putting on a tuxedo automatically makes one cultured. Unfortunately, his emotional biases blind him to the equally self-evident fact that putting on a uniform doesn't automatically make one patriotic.

I was looking (in vain) for my reprehensible representative among the opponents to the Ryan/Murray budget thing.

Tom Cotton voted against it.

Well that’s a good sign.

I’m really disappointed in my Rep as well. Normally a pretty conservative guy (Dr. Tom Price).

Very valid points. However, I still back his Senate bid. And still question legislation sponsored by lame Paulbot Amash that got more RAT votes than GOP.

Just thought I'd let you know that someone on this thread has been banned or suspended. Turns out it must have been a troll.

I was wondering why I didn’t get a reply with more nuggets of libertarian wisdom.

The way that person was posing it was only a matter of time.
