There should always be a "final option" if the person you elected outright lied to you about their intentions.
What lie did Cornyn tell?

Chas.
That he would vote to defund obamacare, then vote FOR cloture so that the dems would win, and he would get a political "no" vote on the final bill....... :grumble

You worry me chaz.
Please link to a post where Sen. Cornyn said he'd vote to defund Obamacase.

Chas.
His refusal to even try.
Try what? Don't give general comments, please give specific details as to what would justify a recall.

Chas.
1) not asking his constituents their opinion on the matter

2) when they gave him their position, refusing to abide by them.

If we can find a Cruz to replace Cornyn I am al in with replacing him. I wish we could get them all to be like Cruz. The ones like Mcpain need to retire. Like TAM says it is time to stand up an fight.
He took the "easy" political way out of voting against obamacare. Not backing Cruz, because the GOP considers him a radical, by voting FOR cloture, but voting against the final bill so he could say he did.

I was listening to the Wells report on the way home today and a caller said the same thing, to recall Cornyn. JD Wells said you can't recall at Fed level. He also said the Tx primaries are in march and there is nobody to run against him or could even do so in the short time, long story short he ain't goin nowhere.
Then let's get someone grass roots to replace him.
