I do not like Sen Cornyn — at all.... However, based on personal experience with a (local) campaign, he truly backed a conservative Republican ... but that candidate ended up losing....
I find Cornyn very timid, tepid. I have a mental image of his hiding under his desk in his office, waiting for the latest media storm to pass. I sometimes call his office to berate his staff for his silence on the issues (all kinds of issues). They say... “Oh, he made a statement the other day.” I say: “Why do I see Schumer on the news all the time, but.. never Cornyn?”
My message to Cornyn: “Man the hell up!”
If your idea of a conservative is Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter, and Lincoln Chaffee, than you and I have very different opinions. You are very naive. Why does Conrnyn try to get people like that in office and tries to help conservatives in Senate races lose? The man is an evil liar.
