Tried calling Sen Cornyn's office, both the local office and the DC office. The offices are not answering the phones and the voice mail boxes are responding that they are full.
Sen Cornyn has joined the McLame/Gramnesty wing of the party, and for all his protestations, with his actions today to stand against efforts to fund Obamacare, he has lost my vote next election.
Ted Cruz speaking on the floor now. Said he would stand and talk as long as he possibly can. Has he started a filibuster? Don’t know. Just turned it on.
As was Dewhurst about this time 2 years ago.
Yes I know what you mean. I also looked at Erick Wyatt and his bio appears to be too thin to stand against the career politician.
Is he a Doctor Who fan?
Lol!
I believe the filing deadline isn’t until December 9, 2013 for the March primary. Cornyn is up for re-election in this coming election cycle. There is time for other candidates. This fiasco might bring a new prospect.
I called him yesterday and was able to leave a message.. Not that it did any good.
Sen’ Cornyn——what goes around comes around.
You do not support you voters they will not support you.
Have a nice retirment SOB.
I wonder if Tom Delay is interested in returning to politics?
Both these men seem like good choices. Name recognition will be very difficult for them and the possibility that they will split the conservative vote isn’t good. There needs to be strategy.
wrote him today that he will be sent into retirement soon.
Guess he wants Obamacare exemption in retirement.
I’ve experienced the same thing today trying to talk to anyone in any Cornyn office.
Tom Delay should throw his hat into the ring and primary Cornyn. ..time is very short to register, I believe.
How do we draft Tom Delay?
Then toss him out on his rat ass.
The Senate really needs an exterminator, now more than ever.
Could an individual do that?
...where's the form & how much does it cost to put a name on the ballot.
I don’t know, but one city has a cat for their mayor. The cat obviously didn’t fill out the forms.
It’s too late to primary Cornyn...”
This sounds just like Cornyn and the other RINO’s talking about defunding Obamacare. It’s never too late. Ask Dewhurst about his loss to Cruz. You underestimate the people of Texas.
Check out Dwayne Stovall.
As I compose this, I’m watching Ted Cruz as he filibusters to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you will watch it as well.
If he has used it once, he’s used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he’s right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve sent my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.

WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
Among others, Thomas Jefferson warned that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency, to wit:
“When the servants if the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that un-backed currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw this problem ahead:
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.
