Rep. STEVE STOCKMAN is running against Cornyn. So is DWAYNE STOVALL. Both are great guys and would be a huge improvement over the RINO, Cornyn.

Those who vote to ruin this country are frauds and traitors to their oath to defend the Constitution and so forth. Criminal frauds.

I do think he seriously stoked the opposition today. You are so right.

Especially after he sent out a snippy whining negative mail piece about Stockman last week. Maybe he’s feeling the heat!

As you say, let’s ride!!!

If you are talking about the same hit piece that I got, look at who it cites as a source. The Houston Chronicle Bird Cage liner. ‘Nuff said.

Let the fool spend all that he has.

oh yes, that’s the one. And darn right, I noticed his reliance on the Chronicle as well!

Cruz campaigning all over Texas with Cornyn’s opponent? Gonna be fun to watch.

Cruz said that he was going to stay out of the incumbent races this election cycle. I don't expect him to endorse or campaign with any challengers. He definitely won't be endorsing John Hussein Cornyn.

It will be funny listening to John Cornyn’s radio ads about how conservative he is this evening...

Are those ads puke-worthy, or what?

Do you really think that Cornyn could lose? I just fear that Corny is too strong.

We just have to hold him under the required 51% threshold to force a run-off election. It's the same way we got Ted Cruz over the hurdle to beat Lt Gov David Dewhurst.

Whichever one of the challengers comes closest to Corny's total will face him in the run-off. That challenger will then get a ton of support to overcome Corny in the general.

Cornyn actually posted on his Facebook page that he voted no. He is getting brutalized for lieing. Lol

Dang I wish I could vote for them both. Is Stockman also running for his house seat just in case he bombs out for the Senate?

Nope. Stockman is going full tilt to knock Cornyn out. Former Harris County Tax Assessor and Tax Collector, Paul Bettencourt is running for the seat vacated by Stockman. Bettencourt is a great guy and will be a fabulous replacement in the House.

The key for now is to force a run-off.

Yup.

I too had high hopes for him.

But this is the Big Time now in 2014, and only the best will survive as Warriors.

It’s sad, I live in Fort Worth but it’s almost impossible to get any real information on who’s-who in the up coming GOP primary. The forth estate is totally failing in it’s voiced purpose of informing the citizenship however they are fulfilling their own vested interests to their ownership.

I’m gonna find time today to call Cornyn’s TX office and tell them I’ve been listening to their ads and want to know how increasing our national debt by raising the debt cealing without even a shred of anything in return like the XL Pipe-line or offsetting cuts is standing up to Obama!

standing up to Obama

That line was funny the first time I heard it. After yesterday, it's downright hilarious.
