...but only at election time. Then afterwards after the rubes re-elect me I can go back to keeping the lobyists happy once again!

Yes. We have an obligation to deal with debt that our Legislative Branch commits, not what this socialist despot in the Executive Branch spends.

Frankly, this “we owe it” meme is a coward’s canard as they whip out a no-limit credit card to line their pockets with.

They had a chance to add budget cutting provisions to the debt ceiling increase. Every other time the retreated they promised they would fight the next time. Instead Cornyn once again sounded the retreat when he strong-armed other Republicans to vote with McConnell, McCain and himself. Then after giving the Democrats everything they wanted, he had the nerve to brag that he voted against the increase on the meaningless final vote.

I hope the scorching that Cornyn is getting on his Facebook page is an indication of how the Primary electorate feels in general. If it is, it means that Texans are on to his two-faced, duplicitous cloture scams.

John Cornyn claims to be the 2nd most conservative member of the Senate.

Yet, as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he
hand-selected these "Republican" candidates:
  • Arlen Specter - Democrat
  • Charlie Crist - Democrat
  • Lincoln Chafee - Democrat
  • Lisa Murkowski - Independent

Also, when he had a chance to stop ObamaCare by supporting Ted Cruz' filibuster

he FAILED

and hid behind a meaningless vote later.

He pulled the same trick on the Senate amnesty bill
and again on raising the debt limit.

Didn’t this guy just vote to increase the debt limit? As in this week?

I’d like that part explained.

Seriously?! He supported a blank check with his vote the other day.

I can’t wait to vote him into retirement.

Government debt is not the main issue. With very few exceptions government bureaucrats and politicians will ALWAYS overspend as much as they can.

The issue is TAXES. Taxes must be brought down and kept down. Otherwise, the "debt" issue becomes another excuse to raise taxes. Low taxes allow wealth growth in the free market. We are not really hurt too much by government overspending as long as taxes are low. Politicians who will not lower taxes and keep them low should be thrown out. Same with spending. The way to deal with overspending is for the American People to throw out overspending politicians.

"Cornyn: We have a moral obligation to deal with flap our gums about our debt"

"Meanwhile, I'll vote to increase our debt."

What do you mean by “we” ?

I think you’re going to learn that you are not representing the will of the People or the State of Texas in the next election.

That was your call, along with your RINO and Rat co-conspirators.
You voted for it. You should pay for it.

Cornyn is acting like he just got a phone call that visitors were coming to his house. Running around stuffing junk in closets and drawers. Does not want to appear a slob.

In this case it is the Primary next month. Just re arranging deck chairs on the Titanic
