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 [...]

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 [...]

Why Senator Cornyn has his head in the sand regarding the need to raise the debt celing!
I’m confident the Senator Cornyn is a smart man, but he appears not to be so truthful nor logical. After voting to raise the debt ceiling by 4 trillion dollars during the Bush administration, Senator Cornyn has now buried his head in the sand, turning his back on the very obligations he voted for in [...]

Is the Republican Party simply a protest party and not a party of governance?
David Brooks writes in the New York Times that the debt ceiling negotiations have presented a no brainer moment for a logical Republican Party. Senator Cornyn reponds in the video below. Notice that he is totally sold out to his constituents - not people like you and me – but big corporations, the wealthiest 2% [...]

Senator Cornyn Throws Cold Water on Governor Rick Perry’s Presidential Aspirations
I hate to admit it, but I’m with Senator Cornyn on this. Governor Perry is a little late to be thinking of jumping into the 2012 Presidential Campaign. “The field is already pretty full,” U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters on a conference call on Wednesday when asked about Perry’s chances, the Houston Chronicle reports. “There [...]

Cornyn Calls for Weiner’s Resignation – Donates $52,800.00 to Senator Vitter after He Admits to Prostitution
According to the Dallas Morning News, Senator Cornyn has called for Congressman Weiner’s resignation. “It strikes me that the apology was not enough. I agree with Eric Cantor” – the House majority leader – “that Rep. Weiner should resign his seat. It’s obvious he lied about his involvement,” Cornyn said this afternoon. “I just think [...]

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 [...]
