Should say “former Cornyn endorsee Charlie Crist”

Don't just single out Cornyn .....

When Crist announced in May he would seek the Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez in May, establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn rushed to endorse him because of his proven fundraising abilities and his demonstrated support across party lines.

Unbelievable that we're still fighting the gopE over this same battle - conservatives versus liberal democRATS in drag ...

“Don’t just single out Cornyn .....”

Cornyn was head of the NRSC and endorsed Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist and Lincoln Chafee, all of which are now democrats (Specter, though dead, is still a democrat and probably still voting).

And you’re right that McConnell is equally to blame. His cronies are at the NRSC, which is why we had a slew of losers last November, but they’ll blame the Tea Party for the losses in MO and IN, when Todd Akin was not the Tea Party candidate in MO (Sarah Steelman was) and McConnell’s and the NRSC’s preferred nominee in IN, incumbent Dick Luger, is now endorsing and funding the democrat nominee in GA.

Cornyn should be singled out as he was singularly responsible for torpedoing conservative opportunities. Crist was only one of his runaway torpedoes.

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.
