14. Very ashamed that he is a senator from Arkansas

Mar 2015

I currently live in Arkansas and considering what position I am soon to have in my career I will not be leaving for several years. I did not support Cotton while he was running for election and I even more adamantly against him now. Many people I spoke to during the election supported him because of his military back ground. Yes, I admire and respect anyone that did and is willing to serve in our military but that is not enough of a reason to vote for them. I would argue that but was often met with discontent concerning their belief that we need people like him to stop the federal government from dictating every part of our lives. If only they could understand, people like him are a major problem in how our government is currently operating and how it is perceived domestically and internationally.
