I'm still trying to decide if I'm happy I voted for Tom Cotton or not... On the one hand he ISN'T a Democrat. But just when I try to like him- he starts talking like a nut!

Make sure you independently verify it. Slate is one of the most exaggerated and intentionally biased sources I pull from. It may actually be THE most biased. Talking Points Memo runs a close #2. They will exaggerate, cherry pick, and write about things completely out of context. So by all means let it give you some indicators of things to check into... but make sure you check yourself, because if it is out of context the article could be biased bullshit. I've seen that quite a few times from them. So before I get influenced by them I go try to find the material they are supposedly pulling from.
EDIT: Sometimes they are accurate. Yet they so often are not, that I always verify.
I'm not going by them... I go by the things he says and his voting record. He's from Arkansas and one reason I voted for him was that he was a veteran- also he was running against Mark Pryor. One thing I could never figure... We have a law here that an atheist cannot hold public office. Pryor may claim to be a Christian to get elected, but his voting record tells another story. The atheist thing aside- I'm starting to see the same type of behavior from Cotton!
They are fishermen... use whatever bait gets them the most votes.
Good analogy!
