"JOHN CORNYN RALLY," read the LED billboard outside the Maude Cobb convention center. "NEAL MCCOY CONCERT." After 3 p.m., around a thousand local Republican activists started lining up for all of it. For $25, they could watch a local hero country singer perform a full show, collect all the GOP swag they wanted (in Cornyn tote bags), crack open free peanuts and sodas -- oh, yes, and to meet Texas's senior senator. If they parted with four figures, they could talk to Cornyn and Karl Rove at a private reception before the show.

At the Longview rally, Karl Rove took it upon himself to defend Cornyn. "Don't let anything keep you from voting for this man," he told the crowd. "I know what his colleagues think of him. They know him as a strong conservative. There's this group called National Journal magazine, which looks at every single member of Congress and how they vote. Two years ago, John Cornyn was ranked the most conservative member of the United States Senate. This year, he's fallen all the way to number two."
Rove waited for the laughs and returned to his point -- people he talks to "regularly" in Washington want Cornyn in the Senate. "They respect him enormously. They know he's an incredibly thoughtful guy."

I won’t let my bird crap on the national journal.
I wouldn’t let my bird crap on Karl Rove.

How do you get an Elephant in a CLOSET....
without “something” sticking out straining at the hinges?...
Answer; You don’t..
“people he talks to “regularly” in Washington want Cornyn in the Senate”
No doubt as they are the GOPe.
This unwieldy behemoth devours our wealth and our freedoms in return for a clown show that is not funny. This country is suffering permanent damage. The trillions that we are wasting are not coming back. The damage to the educational systems and the crippling of our culture and our economy may be irreparable.
>> I wouldnt let my bird crap on Karl Rove.
That’s harsh, man.
I would CERTAINLY let MY bird crap ALL OVER Karl Rove.
I would let every animal I own crap on him.
I would rent out a zoo for a week, just so the elephants and giraffes could crap on him.
After burying him under a ginormous steaming pile, we could find out if he really IS a turd blossom.
You know your not a conservative when
1. Karl Rove is the guest speaker at your fund-raiser.
2. Rove starts touting your conservative rating from some rag.
3. SLATE runs a puff piece on you.
It’s over John, go home and don’t come back.
Shove the whiteboard up Tokyo Rove’s smelly Soetoro hole horizontal and snap it in half.
Shows how out of touch Cornyn is with the Texas conservative voter.
