Even if he can’t win, I’ll vote Stockman just to poke the country club crowd in the eye. Let’s try to make them sweat even when they aren’t in the steamroom with their close democrat buddies.

Vitter, Inhofe, Demint and Sessions have been more conservative for a long time.

Cornyn is more liberal than the Idaho,Wyoming and most of the southern Senators on immigration. Cornyn supported a lot of amnedments in the Kennedy and Rubio immigration bills. Cornyn inherited funds from Bob Perry.

Are Ed and Al Cardenas related? One of them is a big amnesty supporter and the other is head of the extremely conservative ACU who said Risch or Crapo is the most conservative senator.

Even if Cornyn wins a runoff I think it will be worth it to make him sweat. Stockman’s seat is being contested by 12 candidates. They allowed more people who hadnt already filed for any 2014 race to enter the race.

I sometimes think going to the polls is nothing but wasting time and gasoline. But it’ll be worth it to vote against Cornyn.

That’s what I tell them! Cornyn has a Facebook ad with a photo of he and Ted Cruz. I laughed when I saw it. He needs to be fired!

I will go with Stockman and then sit out the general election. No Cornballs!

If things get bad for Cornball he can bring down Lamar! and Lamar’s wife, a native Texan, to campaign for him.

People in TX don’t know anything about Cornball’s voting record; it takes work to find that information.

Cornyn is a CFR guy and can be trusted to vote accordingly. Since his stint as a Texas Senator began I had no hope in this guy being a true conservative. This competition will make Mark Davis and many other talking heads on radio extremely angry.

John Cornyn is a political powerhouse and Dwayne Stovall doesn’t have enough connections or money to win. I really like Stovall, but it’s gonna take a massive force to get Cornyn out.

Cornyn supporters over at “Texans for a Conservative Majority” have already created a “Shady Stockman” website.

And that is what scares me. I loathe John Cornyn and I would vote for a one-eyed crack whore before I’d vote for him. But, Stockman is vulnerable. He’s my Congressman and I’m NOT voting for him in the Primary. I picked Linda Vega long ago as my choice. I’m heavily involved in Texas politics and I tell you right now, she can defeat Cornyn; Stockman can’t. Sorry.

Nice to see Duane Stovall and Linda Vega actually get a little bit of press. I'm kind of wary of Stockman because the media has annointed him as the 'official' challenger. That, in itself makes me think twice about supporting him.

That said, this particular race is one of the few things that may even get me to the polls this year. Anybody But Cornyn.

Yup. The press will stay quiet about this until after the primary. That's why they are playing him up, to make sure none of the other challengers have a chance.
