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 [...]

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 [...]

Even Republicans aren’t happy » No Balls, No Brains: John Cornyn
Drew M. at Ace of Spades says John Cornyn is “starting to go wobbly,” which involves the wholly unwarranted assumption that Cornyn was ever steady to begin with. It was Cornyn who, by giving the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s endorsement to Charlie Crist — 15 months before the Florida GOP primary — sparked the Not [...]

Big Bad John is behaving badly – Cornyn trying to take away my children’s health care?
My adult children, for the first time in their adult lives, will become eligible for some form of health care under the new health care reform legislation. The big caveat is whether the bill passed in the House will make it into law. The media has played up the passage as if the legislation is law. It is [...]

Senator Cornyn voted against Health Care – now working to derail the voice of the people in the Senate!
We live in a democracy…or do we? I was taught in our three branch form of democracy, that our Senators and Representatives spoke for their constituents. In the simplest of terms, the meaning of Democracy is majority rule. Our voices are heard through our elected spokespersons. Unfortunately now, our Senators and Representatives turn their ear [...]

Cornyn Hijacking Democracy
Senator John Cornyn and his Republican colleagues in the Senate have hijacked the true meaning of Democracy. 51 votes is no longer an acceptable majority. It is now 60 votes because of the Senate Republican’s use of parliamentary procedures as a tool for obstruction. In November we must remember that Republicans have done nothing for [...]

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 [...]
