Cornyn - Will Not Fund Obamacare Will Vote To Support House Bill
Facebook ^ | 9/23/2013

John Cornyn about an hour ago I intend to support the House bill that defunds Obamacare and will vote against a bill that funds it.

McConnell will vote this way as well after he insures other RINO’s sellout the House. Corkhole from TN being one of these liberals.

Dec. 9, 2013 is the filing deadline for a primary challenger to come forth.

As others have posted: Cornyn already has a primary challenger.

But, I'll clarify: I meant a serious primary challenge. While I'm not a big fan of Cornyn, I don't think he has yet done anything that would put him at risk in the primary.

Voting for Obamacare (explicitly or implicitly) would certainly make him vulnerable.

There was an article posted earlier: the GOP's best endgame will be to hang the albatross of Obamacare around the neck of the Democrats. But, the GOP has to to be unified, or anyone who votes with the Democrats will join them.

I think the GOP will do well in the 2014 off-year elections, because it will be dominated by the people that are paying attention. But, I don't think the low-information voters will finally figure out what happened to them until they have to file their tax return for 2014 in April, 2015. And that will be the GOP's ace in the hole for the 2016 elections.

Communicating with Cornyn about how the cow ate the cabbage seems to have given him second thoughts. That’s good.

Cornyn will do what the rest will do with the exception of Cruz and Lee. They will all vote for cloture then vote no on the bill. And their communications staff will go to the voters and say, “they voted no.”

Why should this be any different? Once a coward, always a coward.

I'm still going to try to get Cornyn primaried.

If you start a "Give Cornyn the Boot" ping list, please add me ;)

I don't trust Cornyn any farther than I could throw him.

Thanks yall for showing us this guy!

The fact he is not some big college educated person who has been climbing up the political ladder, but is an articulate “one of us” and after watching him speak, tells me he might just have a chance. He damn sure has the right ideas!

With filing deadline coming up in December, he and we better get it in gear.

Didn't take long for him to change his mind did it?

Cornyn opposes government shutdown over defunding Obamacare (Texas)

he will support the house bill.. that means he will vote for cloture to move to pass it - which is bad because it will just be gutted. Filibustering the bill is the only way to pass the bill....

Our own highly informed FRiends below don’t even understand it, and we expect independents and a majority of americans not to blame the Pubs for any future shutdown.. good luck.

He is publicly lying to your face through international media, straight out calling you a f’ing retard, and you’re on FR proclaiming this as some sort of victory.

Reexamine your intellectual capacities.

That was harsh... the truth is harsh,

sorry My Favorite Headache, we’ve been here a long time, didn’t mean to insult you personally.

The point stands, Cornyn just called every person who believes his statement a f’ing retard rube, to your faces, through international new media... and blatantly worded it so it’s obvious he is decided to act the exact opposite, and intends to vote for cloture.

Hmm ... unfortunately, Cornyn tends to say one thing while campaigning and doing the opposite once elected.

Called Cornyn TX offices in DC and three district locations. I was able to get through to only leave messages, regarding the cloture vote.

Called Sen. Tom Coburn OK at DC and district offices & left messages.

That I was able to get through means more calls are needed.

Jane, are we aware of HR 3962-28, tucked into Obamacare, in pages 1501, 1505-1508, to implement the “chip”, referred to as the Class II device?

I don’t believe that intent or the language was ever removed, though in 2010, the words were changed, made more vague, but the chip with GPS included remains.

None of our guys are addressing that, so what happened with all that. Do you know?

Linda Gramnesty was on Fox this morning singing praises for tge Defund Obamacare legislation.

He’s scared and desperate, just like Cornhole and hid RINO ilk.

hammer those democratic senators too folks

Exactly. A few of these traitors have been sucked in by the DC fog, that land of Oz where they pretend it's just a few radical crazies that want to defund Obamacare. If the dems hear it too (like with the bombing of Syria threat) they can't pretend people aren't noticing. Plus, in some states where they could lose, it might be smart to ally themselves with Cruz instead of McCain.

One thing for sure. The Republican slime who've been working behind our backs to save Obamacare will be exposed, and they'll never be voted into any office again.

Cornyn is running for reelection in 2014. He will return to screwing us in 2015.

Guess he finally got the tweet he wouldn’t get reelected if he continued to cave.
