Amazingly, he and Cornyn voted alike on all but two issues. I think that's a first! One has to wonder, is he working with Cornyn now because he needs his support in the presidential bid?

Probably the opposite.....Cornyn knows that Cruz is showing him to be the Rockefeller Republican that he is. Cornyn needs some conservative cred before people start noticing....

Not getting where you're getting that. Cornyn has been historically been one of the most conservative members in Congress based on his votes. if you're No True Scotsmanning him then thats a problem.

Overall, Senator John Cornyn has a moderate record when it comes to immigration reform.

Washington (CNN)—Republicans will still try to block President Barack Obama from implementing his immigration overhaul -- but they won't risk funding for the Department of Homeland Security to do it, Sen. John Cornyn says.

The top two Republicans in the Senate made clear Monday they will not join Cruz's call for a filibuster of a government funding bill that cleared the House last week. Their decisions signaled that the fiery freshman's plan isn't good politics even for Republicans facing conservative primary threats and reinforced a widely held view that it won't work in practice.

Need more?....

Yes actually. Not going along with shutting down the government in this manner doesn't make him a liberal. It just makes sure he's not suicidal.
I see the No True Scotsman argument is in fact being applied here.

Nice clean email with only information, no spam, no graphics - just the facts, Ma'am.

Almost all the results for Cruz say "Not voting"

As much as I like Ted, I do have a bit of a problem with a representative not doing the job we sent them to do, in order to work at getting the next job. I know if I had taken off work to apply for another job, my boss would not have paid me, and probably would have fired me.

Right now, I think the best ticket is a Walker-Cruz team. Walker has the executive creds, and Cruz is the attack dog.
Sort of like Obama & Biden..... No, wait
