Senator Cornyn and Senator Hutchinson split their vote on the Highway Transportation Bill. The bill passed in a bi-partisan vote where only 22 Republicans voted against the bill, including Senator Cornyn. Infrastructure jobs are important to Texas. Once again Senator Cornyn put party ahead of Texans! Read about the spit vote here.

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 [...]

I pledge allegiance to Grover Norquist and all the stupidity for which he stands!
Senator Cornyn is not alone. Most of the Republicans in the Senate and the House of Representatives have signed Grover Norquist’s no new taxes pledge. To the Republicans, their allegiance to Grover Norquist is important, perhaps even more important than doing what’s right for our Country. Our Country’s debt situation is dire. Republicans refuse to [...]

Senator Cornyn Fundraising After Criticizing Obama For Attending Fundraisers
Is it hard to imagine Senator Cornyn being a hypocrite? Well, not really. After criticizing President Obama about his campaigning during the debt crisis, Senator Cornyn is busy attending campaign fund raisers himself. From the Huffington Post: Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex.) has been particularly scornful of the president for hitting the fundraising circuit, going so [...]

Senator Cornyn Votes Against Wall Street Reform
I find it incredible but Senator Cornyn voted against Wall Street Reform! The wheeler dealers on Wall Street were running wild under George Bush deregulation supported by Senator Cornyn. Then the house of cards started falling apart and Wall Street ran our economy in the ground along with a lot of hard working Texans who [...]

Once Again – Senator Cornyn Votes Against Aid for Unemployed Texans
Create a mess and ignore it – the Republican way! It’s heartless, out of touch and perhaps even mean spirited. 1.2 million Americans are unemployed and trying to survive the most severe economic crisis since the Depression. The economic collapse was caused by Bush era war mongering and financial deregulation. Senator Cornyn was a strong [...]

Senator Cornyn: Balance the budget on the backs of the jobless!
If you’ve read much of my blog then you know that Senator John Cornyn is an enigma to me. His blatant disregard for logic, for his constituents, and for truthfulness is incomprehensible. First, the Senator doesn’t work for Texans. He works for the Republican party. He is most often quoted not as the Senator from Texas, [...]

John Cornyn: Purveyor of Political Porn
It’s time for Texans to realize who their Senator is and what he does for a living. If you think he is busy representing Texans in the United States Senate, think again. He’s busy botching up his real job as the leader of the Republican Senatorial Committee charged with getting Republican’s elected to the United [...]
