If I were a true conservative whose platform was smaller government and the elimination of govt. largess, you're damn right I would. Anyone who wouldn't is an enemy of everything self professed "conservatives" claim to stand for.
I'm talking about hypocrites since I'm already on record on how I stand.........
8 years of service for his state have netted him $48,807 per year in pension while I spent almost 35 years with my employer and my last annual salary was just over his annual pension.
That pisses me off just as anyone's comments who support this guy........
No problem with Cornyn receiving a pension for six years on the judiciary! May he enjoy his retirement at (I hope) age 65 with $48,800 per year!
However, I had a six figure income with a Fortune 25 company, and after 17 years with the company, I’m very proud to receive $18,000 per year!
Maybe I should have devoted my talents to six years working in public service!
ALL of the leadership is like this... and this is what obama knows through his spies and how he is blackmailing officials... from the SCOTUS to the House and Senate.

It is not befitting of a US Senator... but only a few Senators have any credibility.

“He fulfilled each position and he reaps the benefits from them. Nothing wrong with that.”
It depends on what your definition of “nothing wrong” is! If you define “nothing wrong” as not being illegal, then Cornyn passes the test. OTOH, if you defining “nothing wrong” in moral terms, Cornyn is a criminal. The problem really is the public employment laws that allow this kind of behavior. It’s hard to see people of considerable means in their own right, basically lining their pockets with money to which they should not be entitled. It’s really disgraceful when you look at this man’s record of “service.” “Texas has a Whorehouse in it,” and that’s where Cornyn lives. Here in California we know that Fineswine and Boxster are scum, but Cornyn survives inspection by the Texas “electorate” because he runs as a “repubican.” Currently we in CA don’t have the ability to rid ourselves of these two pariahs, but you Texans do where Cornyn is concerned, and yet you re-elect him time after time.
In the past why has Cornyn had so few primaries? He has might near been the only candidate running. This next round seem to remember Erick Wyatt out of Rockport, Tx filing to primary against him. Lord let it be. Some Friends like Cornyn. Myself....not so much.
...needless to say, there is no military pension for the senator...goes without saying...
You should have worked for Gillette, they took much better care of their people! Now that P&G owns it, much less so.
