I hear what you are saying but Sen. Cornyn is not the problem, Feinstein and her ilk are, Schumer, Durbin, Leahy, et al. I think he will be less of a problem going forward now that Cruz and Rand have unleashed themselves to great support and attention.TexasCajun wrote:I was initially hesitant to support a relative unknown to fill our outgoing Senator's seat. But he seemed to be the lesser of 2 evils (an unknown with very little political experience vs Dewhurst: an entrenched politico who seems to have undergone a gradual shift in political philosophy away from the conservative values that I favor). I can honestly say that I'm very pleasantly surprised by Senator Cruz's first few months in office & I hope that he keeps it up. When the old-guard GOP rinos are getting their panties in a wad about what he's doint, I think he's on the RIGHT track. I only wish that John Cornyn's seat were up in the cycle after next instead of 2014 so that Ted Cruz would have a chance to establish more seniority. But since Cornyn has seemed to take notice, it's not all bad.

Compared to those nut jobs Cornyn ain't so bad. I just wish we had more time before his seat comes up. That way he'd either have to make a true course correction or we could replace him. But putting another freshman senator in when Cruz would only have 2 years in his seat wouldn't be good for Texas at all.JALLEN wrote:I hear what you are saying but Sen.

He was excellent at CPAC.JALLEN wrote:His keynote speech at CPAC is a masterpiece, 35 minutes, no notes, no teleprompter, standing ovation to abolish the Department of Education, Keystone pipeline, foreign aid to nations that hate us, stand with Israel, and much much more!

There was a lot mud slinging against him during that election and I didn't know what to believe. I sure am glad we voted him in.TexasCajun wrote:I was initially hesitant to support a relative unknown to fill our outgoing Senator's seat.
