Get some Republican women. They have more b*lls than all the men combined.

I am not a woman.

It’s wrong to call a racist a racist unless they’re white. Is that what he means?

What in heck are these Republicans so afraid of?

Excellent insight.

all of them lumped together as “Hispanic” for no better reason than their linguistic commonality.

Or to manipulate them into a convenient voting block.

They’re deathly afraid of losing the “Hispanic vote”.

Of course, the majority of “hispanics” will never vote for a Republican anyway.

“Get some Republican women. They have more b*lls than all the men combined.

Sorry but compared with Senator KBH, Cornyn’s fellow Texas Senator, Cornyn is ballsier and more intelligent. And more conservative.

Go figure.

is it racist to call a racist a racist and can they be called a racist for saying your a racist for calling a racist a racist??

Only if his name is Peter Piper and he picked a peck of pickled peppers and had a pet woodchuck that could chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I had thought Cornyn was one of the good guys. Oh, well. Sheesh, why do these people in Congress always shoot our own and never the Dems?

“Neither one of these men are elected Republican officials,” Cornyn said of Gingrich and Limbaugh. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate and I certainly don’t endorse it. I think it’s wrong.”

“I think it’s terrible. This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent,” Cornyn said.”

Another idiotic “self-hating Republican” is heard from. These idiots have simply been in Washington far too long!

The liberal networks love to continue over and over about how much of the Mexican vote the BO got. IMO most of the Mexicans that voted for BO simply got caught up in the cult and celebrity aspect of it all. After all, McCain was/is their biggest friend. BO’s fake personality just swept them in just as it did many republicans. I don’t think standing up against this racist woman will cause the Republicans to lose votes.

Any White Judge claiming superior judgment on the basis of White ethnicity would be immediately disqualified and it would make no difference what the context was or how long ago it was.

The Democrats want to have it both ways AND are getting it both ways. They constantly use claims of racism against the GOP and at the same time play the race game with a vengeance when it suits them.

Those pundits and seers who suggest Sotomayor be treated with kid gloves on her racial statement about Latina experience for the sake of minimizing political damage with Hispanics are overlooking the necessity of calling her on what she said and resisting yet more race pimpery.

All those bashing Cornyn on this thread need to consider the situation he’s in.

The GOP needs to oppose Sotomayor, but needs to do it in a way that doesnt look like they are screaming nutcases. They are going to lose the vote anyway and so they have one goal here: marginalize Sotomayor without getting marginalized themselves as obstructionist extremists.

So they need to approach it as:

“How would you convince an open-minded moderate who may have voted for Obama that this nominee is a mistake?”

Gingrich and Limbaugh are not convincing anyone in the middle with their ‘racist’ charge. It raises the issue but the MSM just tags them as hyper-ventilators. The best Cornyn and others could do is to ignore questions that tries to divide the right and instead try to get divisions in the left by raising the issues of Sotomayor’s statements in a way that is not inflammatory or turned around on them.

Once again we see he MSM try to make an issue out of what Republicans believe as if that’s important. It’s really not important what Rush says or Gingrich says (Cornyn is right to point out they are not elected officials). It’s important what the next SCOTUS member thinks and says.
