Senator Creates Site for Targeted Conservative Groups (Texas)
National Revies ^ | May 21, 2013 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 05/21/2013 5:50:55 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

Senator John Cornyn’s office has launched an online “hotline” for Texans who believe they were unfairly targeted by the IRS to share their stories. Cornyn has already highlighted three separate cases of constituents in a video — including True the Vote, which has filed suit against the IRS — and encourages other groups to speak out.

“Let’s make it clear that Texans will not stand for the kind of behavior typically associated with corrupt tin-pot dictators — not with the greatest democracy in the world,” he writes on his website.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is encouraging any Michigan residents who feel they or an organization they’re involved with were targeted by the IRS to step forward.

Anyone who would sign up for this site is a complete idiot. Cornyn hates these groups worse than the IRS. Cornyn is the person who nuked the Tea Party in 2010. He has no interest in helping these people, only in hurting them.

I wonder if Ted Cruz has any brothers or sisters looking for a gig. :-)

Cornyn, the vermin who was the head of the NRSC in 2010, and whose preferred candidates were Crist, Specter, and Chaffee?

Cornyn is running for reelection in 2014.

If Texas has any brains at all they will replace this man with anything.

Actually, it's a good reminder that Cornyn and Dewhurst need to get the boot in 2014.

We need conservatives in Texas, not go along to get along Republicans.

See, this is the problem with blue blood republican weenies like Cornyn. He can't even describe our form of government as a Constitutional Republic to the VERY GROUPS he's attempting to solicit, who do have a firm understanding between a Republic and a "democracy". Just so much pablum to throw to the unwashed in an attempt to stay in power. Schmuck.

Some of us are working hard to get rid of the liberal squish GOP-E types here in Texas.

Duh, will Senator Cornyn give his new list to Obama’s IRS, or Obama’s DOJ?

After seeing Texas’ liberal governor in action, I wonder if there are any conservatives in Texas. Oh the Texas President wasn’t very conservative either.
