I'm mostly a lurker here, but thought I'd contribute to this thread. I saw the reference to Cornyn's (or his PAC's) contribution to Cochran's race-baiting and, recalling his shunning of Cruz awhile back, I wrote him a note through his Senate website. (I also wrote to him about his shunning of Cruz.) This time, I told him that I was disappointed in his support for Cochran, particularly his support of race-baiting and pork barrel politics, and offered that such tactics did not represent true conservative values. For what it's worth, here is his response, which I did not find very satisfying:

"Dear Mr. :

Thank you for contacting me regarding current political affairs. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.

Although Senate ethics standards preclude me from using taxpayer-funded resources to comment on political campaign issues, I appreciate your interest in current affairs. I welcome the input of citizens who take seriously their civic responsibilities.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent you in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator
