We know that Republicans love their oil and gas producers, even if they are contaminating our ground water with cancer causing chemicals. How do they feel about the first amendment and the freedom of speech…and your right to know what’s going on in Congressional hearings? Apparently they are not a big fan as they had [...]

Why does Senator John Cornyn sound like Rick Santorum?

Senator Cornyn Votes to Raise Taxes on Working Texans
Senator Cornyn sides with the One Percent In voting to protect millionaires and billionaires from the slightest tax increase, Senator Cornyn effectively voted to raise taxes on hard working Texans. He is a disgrace to our State. He’s a party line political hack who does nothing in the best interest of Texans who fall within [...]

Cornyn Playing Softball with Lobbyist
Senator Cornyn seems to be proud of the video below as he sent it out in his Lone Star not-so-weekly newsletter. Watch it while keeping these points in mind. The interview is a setup! What a bunch of softball questions catering to the Senator. The interviewer couldn’t have made Senator Cornyn more comfortable if he [...]

Did You See Senator Cornyn’s Jobs Survey for Dummies?
Hey dummy…please choose from one of my talking points? I don’t know who created Senator Cornyn’s job survey which was published in his not-so-weekly Lone Star Weekly e-newsletter. If you participated in the survey and answered anything but other, you gave the Senator a talking point that he will use to enrich the rich. Let’s [...]

Senator Cornyn votes against helping Teachers and Firefighters
It’s really amazing. John Cornyn and the Republicans are against any kind of jobs bill, including the pared down version that they refused to even consider yesterday. Thursday’s $35 billion measure combined $30 billion for state and local governments to hire teachers and other school workers with $5 billion to help pay the salaries of [...]

Job Creators Foiled by High Taxes and Regulations
The Republican line on the wealthy is that they’re not just rich, they are job creators and therefore deserve a break on taxes, the environment, and government regulations. (Think Occupational Health and Safety regulations, OSHA, pollution regulations, air emissions, and labor laws.) Bill Maher has some thoughts that might help put the Republican line in [...]

Republicans Out to Kill the American Dream
Senator Cornyn and his fellow Republicans are out to kill the American Dream for everyone but their rich cronies on Wall Street. While protecting extraordinarily low tax rates for corporations, millionaires and billionaires, they are using budget deficits as an excuse to slash programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Some Texas Republicans want the [...]

S&P doesn’t believe Republicans have the will to let Bush Tax Cuts expire.
A very interesting line in S&P’s full report (.pdf) wherein it downgraded the sovereign debt of the US from AAA to AA+. Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on [...]
