Borrowing "Tehran Toomey" - Thoughts???

Another thread mentions "Tehran Tom" Cotton.

Any thoughts on borrowing and evolving that into "Tehran Toomey"? (Pending copyright approval of Jared Polis). It has a nice, catchy ring to it. Or is it just name-calling and a bad idea? Maybe Joe Sestak might like to use it? What do you think?

1. Since Cotton is new being touted as a star, he needs Tehran Tom.

Is this unfair, yes, however we are talking Treason. How about Treasonous Tehran Tom. By the way if Republican Treason leads to another war there are whole host of words that fit Republicans.

2. I think it goes too far.

Toomey just signed the letter, he didn't write it. I don't think Sestak would use it. It seems undignified for an officer and a gentleman to sink to name-calling.

3. I think you're right

5. Yeah

When we sink to that level, we're no better than them.
However, I think it's a good idea to emphasize the fact that he signed it, without the name calling.

6. Although I dislike mud slinging,

the GOP have won many elections by using that technique while we try to take the high road. And the voters listen to the slime that is dredged up instead of the positive messages.

I am not saying that Sestak should use the term, but I see no reason that we can't use it...just to make sure that people remember the Toomey is undermining the president and trying to get us into another war. And that war would be much worse than what we have already been involved in. I don't think that any of these Republicans have even looked at a map of the Middle East to realize that Iran is a country far larger than Iraq or Afghanistan put together, and we know how well those wars have gone.

4. I don't think "Tehran Toomey" scans as well as "Tehran Tom."

He should just be cast in among the Cottonmouths.
