Him being a " rino" doesn't prove your point either.bi wasn't looking for "loopholes" was just trying to verify what the article and you were saying and I couldn't.

I don't think you can prove it was Cornyn or "Cornyn's PAC" because if you could, you would have.


Hopefully others don't just assume what they read on the interwebs as being true.

This one claims Cornyn gave $15,000 http://www.senateconservatives.com/site ... e-enablers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here's the NY Times reporting on the money but not who gave it http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/17/upsho ... .html?_r=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here's the question you need to ask yourself. Why should sitting Senators take a position in a primary race? Shouldn't they let the Republican voters of that state decide who they want to represent them? And why is it OK for US Senators to pay for race-baiting ads to defeat an incumbent's challenger?

Is this a serious question? Because it's right in the article.

Cornyn gave $50,000 to Mississippi Conservatives which gave $144,000+ to All Citizens of Mississippi which used race-baiting ads to drive voters to the polls to vote for Thad Cochran. It hasn't yet been confirmed, but they also may have paid for TV ads that promoted Cochran's long record of bringing home the bacon. It has been confirmed that they paid for very offensive race-baiting robocalls that claimed that if McDaniel was elected he would take away food stamps and defund historically black colleges in Mississippi.

It's a dead serious question. The links to the backup data didn't support what the article said, at least what I saw. Are you taking the article at face value just because it's supposed to be a conservative media outlet?

No. I've been following the MS Senate race closely and have read all of the FEC documents that have been released as well as numerous articles from local MS papers that are clearly not pro-Tea Party. I have also been following the race on Twitter and have corresponded with Charles Johnson, the reporter who broke the story, and have contributed to one of his articles (unrelated to the issue of whether Cornyn gave money.)

I take almost nothing at face value and am constantly looking for primary sources that confirm the story.

Well, I suggest you read the third paragraph again.

Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project, former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for Senators Mitch McConnell ($50,000), John Cornyn ($50,000), Rob Portman ($25,000), Bob Corker ($25,000), and Roy Blunt ($5,000).

Cornyn gave the money, and he's also supporting Pat Roberts (KS) against his Tea Party opponent. I'm very disappointed in Cornyn. He seems to have been infected with DC disease.
