That’s the question we need to ask of conservatives. There is a great deal of Obama bashing going on because of the budget deficit. Yet the Republicans want to protect tax breaks for the rich, Wall Street and big banks, and of course defense spending. They are not only a do nothing party, they are [...]

Cornyn’s Ninth Grade Logic – Blame the Government
Sometime Big Bad John has the logic of a ninth grader. Question everything the Senator says because he loves to mislead Texans. He thinks we’re idiots, I’m sure. A quote from Senator Cornyn via The Dallas Morning News : “It is unacceptable that Texas has not received a sufficient amount of vaccine doses. We were promised 3.4 [...]

Senator Cornyn Protecting Health Insurers – Not Texans
It seems that everytime I open my inbox, someone is sending me another report of Senator Cornyn going to bat for some huge corporate interest instead of Texans. In response to a question about legislation revoking the health insurance industry’s anti-trust exemption, Senator Cornyn’s response was: “It really is unfortunate, this pattern of attempting to [...]

Specter: GOP Is “A Party Of Obstructionism”
Senator Cornyn has established himself a spokesperson for the Republican Party. He’s influential. He’s worked himself to the top of the heap…unfortunately it’s the top of a smelly mess. Republicans have positioned themselves to be losers. They are ignoring the change in demographics in the United States. Young people are under employed, more liberal, more [...]

Senator Cornyn – Speak Clearly, Articulate Smartly, Demonstrate Intelligence
Senator Cornyn and his conservative Cornies approach the health care debate as if Texans are without intelligence; a people who cannot understand basic human suffering inflicted by the lack of health care in this country. Their, the Cornies, opposition to health care is expressed in political sound bites, or extraordinary budget numbers, or the lack [...]

John Cornyn Soft of Ethics
Big Bad John campaigned on doing the Lord’s work in Washington, as well as fighting hellions. But when one of his fellow Republican Senators, Senator Ensign, has disgraced the party with unethical and immoral behavior; and perhaps criminal conspiracy, Senator Cornyn declines to take a stand. I wouldn’t be surprised, and I’ve wondered if Senator Cornyn [...]

Cornyn’s Frat House Prank on the Senate Finance Committee
President Obama and Congressional Democrats have consistently maintained that Americans who like the coverage they currently have will be able to keep it under any new health care legislation. But that’s just not the case. My colleagues across the aisle know it. Since they are so insistent on forcing so many Americans onto government run [...]
Is Senator Cornyn Heartless, Clueless, or Confused?
Paul Krugman explains the difference in todays New York Times. It’s a good read and I highly recommend it, particularly if you agree with Senator Cornyn’s three votes against the extension of jobless benefits. I don’t think Senator Cornyn is confused. I also don’t believe he is clueless. I do believe he has an emotional [...]
