Trying to hold on to power in the US is like squeezing sand - the harder you squeeze, the more it falls through your fingers. Let’s not worry about holding on to what we have; let’s LEAD our nation, people and the human experiment FORWARD!
Yes, but you must remember what Rush calls incrementalism. The 'rats are masters of incrementalism. They are patient and will take one grain of sand at a time until they have the whole sandbox. Guys like you who want "the whole sandbox or nothing" will likely end up with nothing.
I already told you Cornyn (and Kay B) oppose the health care bill. If White were in, he'd surely vote for it, as would any other 'rat. Hell, yes I'll vote for Cornyn over a 'rat. He may be a RINO, but at least he's not Arlen Sphincter.
If we lose the healthcare battle, the Republic will be in grave peril. A vote from a Cornyn can stave off disaster. An "I'll show 'em!" vote for a 'rat will be a vote for socialism, which once in place, will never go away.

You obviously didn’t read most of my posts. I am not “an all or nothing” guy. I am a “we can do better than this and we should try” guy!
Am I happy that Cornyn is there right now and Bill White is in Houston - ABSOLUTELY! However, when election time comes, I am not going to say, “Oh, at least he is a Republican so we don’t need to look for a better candidate!” BS - every election cycle we should be looking for the best conservative candidate available! Period!
Are Cornyn and Kay against health care reform or are they just against Obama’s health care reform? I do not want ANY reform that does not include detailed, comprehensive tort reform! I do not want ANY reform that includes ANY government run option, co-op or mandated insurance coverage (talk about incrementalism)! Where do they stand on this? Who the HE!! knows? The Republicans are NOT leading (as I stated in other posts), they ARE the party of NO! They should spend some of the precious Specter money to put commercials on stating THEIR plans (because the MSM isn’t going to cover them)! They need to LEAD us away from the government trough, not make the water taste better for the other 48% of the electorate!
As far as I am concerned, Cornyn is NOT correct 80% of the time. After the bailout debacle I see him as a correct 50% of the time; on the bailout he was 100% WRONG!! We can not afford to continue to do this to OURSELVES; THIS (my Republican is okay, yours is the problem) theory is what is giving the rats one grain at a time! Think about it!
It will take nothing short of a miracle for ANYONE to convince me to vote for a man that helped to indebt my unborn-grandkids!
