It doesn’t really matter. As long as the RATS don’t lend the GOPe their vote fraud machine - a distinct possibility - Cornyn can expect the same results as Dewhurst.

This extreme flak from the target tells us they expect to lose.

If Texas turns blue...You will never see another conservative in the White House ever again...The electoral math supports that without any doubt...

Thats why the liberals are going for broke to do that very thing...

And “you-know-what” will become a pipe dream without a pipe, much less a dream...

That's what I'm hoping. Cornyn is pathetically desperate.

Aren't the primaries just 8 weeks away? I'd like to see more Stockman...or any of Cornyn's challengers...ads, signs, etc.

Every youtube vid I watch starts of with a *Texas Battleground* faux news report ad. It proclaims that Texas is turning blue. They’re spending quite a bit on those youtube ads, I’d suppose.

No, I don’t eat crap.

Probably illegals are used here in construction. Paying a decent, living wage to real Americans isn’t popular, not when one can get away with paying less.

HEY! AUSTIN MAFIA! YEAH, YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.

The US House of Representatives is analogous to a Police Force - - - their main job of Check and Balance is to “arrest” the perp by Impeaching the perp.

The US Senate is analogous to a Jury of Peers who have the power to throw the Impeached perp off of the taxpayer gravy train, take away his residence, ban him from building a Library paid for by us, and ban him from using his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One.

Most RINO Americans want to wait, Wait, WAIT! until they control the House, the Senate and the White House.

To those weak-kneeded summer soldier “patriots” I say “Enjoy the Obamanation that you have tolerated since January, 2009.”

In similar manner, we Summer Soldier Conservatives continue to tolerate a wimpy, hand-wringing, sobbing, crybaby Speaker of the House Boehner as our sorry chief policeman.

“Oh, if only my best friends across the aisle would just play nicey nice - - - “ is the perfect quote that fire-in-the-belly Socialist-Democrats love to hear from their doormat, cowardly, Obamacrat RINOs.

Yes indeed, as long as we WAIT for things to be PERFECT we will never attack those whose goal is to destroy the US Constitution.

Suck it up you sorry House RINOs, and replace John “Benghazi Coverup” Boehner with SC Rep Trey Gowdey, or SC Rep Joe Wilson.

Without a fire-in-the-belly Republican Speaker of the House, Obamacrat RINOs will continue to cave in to “their best friends across the aisle,” to the unbridled glee of every Democrat voter in America!

House RINOs: Pretend that you are paid by taxpayers to fight to enforce the US Constitution.

Fight or go home, House RINOs.

FIGHT or we will send you home!

Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.

_________________________

The RINO Establishment has been, is now, and forever will be a spineless relic that is incapable of protecting the US Constitution.

Commie Obama came in 1-2009, and by 12-24-2009 he had Nationalized one sixth of the US Economy.

Now, four YEARS later, loyal RINO Establishment stalwarts estimate that it will take a generation (20-25 years) to undo what Commie Obama did in eleven MONTHS.

What does it take for the Loyalist RINOs to draw a line in the sand?

As for concern about “loss of political capital” and other Leftstream Media manipulating tactics, when in the next 20 to 25 years would be a good time for y’all to consider to begin to commence thinking about draining the swamp full of Leftstream Media “alligators?”

There are more of us than there are of them, so grow a pair and FIGHT the Left Stream Media!

Remember this: Commie Obama is counting on never being held accountable for his violations of the US Constitution.

BTW, Boehner and McConnell have done their best to not hold Commie Obama accountable for 4 years.

Thus, support for the RINO Establishment is to continue to endorse the Boehner-McConnell protection from accountability plan for Commie Obama.

REMEMBER, AUSTIN MAFIA: Hitler also was elected by “The People.”

My community, Longview WA, has 30% unemployment.


Where are you pulling that number from. It damn sure doesn’t agree with the following.

Longview, WA 9.8%

I certainly agree with you for the time being, but then I look at the license plates and UHauls tracking up and down these interstates, and like Redford in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, I find myself asking, “Who ARE these guys?”.
What are they doing here? I begin to wonder what the heck is unfolding for Texas and Oklahoma.

That number comes from laymen and small business owners. You think the government is truthful about unemployment?

One of my friends owns a hair salon, and he has lost over 50% of his customers due to layoffs and unemployment. The number of empty storefronts here is staggering.

Just talking to young people of high school age, over 50% are on EBT cards. They cannot find part-time work locally; too many unemployed competing for the same jobs.

There are jobs in Vancouver WA and Portland OR. Those jobs are over 100 miles round trip from the Longview/Kelso area, and such trips will use up most of the earned income by feeding the gas tank.

Are there ways to beat these disadvantages? Sure, and folks are using those tricks; carpooling or staying with friends or relatives in the two large city’s mentioned.

For sure somebody’s numbers are wrong, be it laymen and small business owners
or the State. Maybe they better help the Gov. get the accurate numbers and a
few tax dollars may come their way to help the population during hard times.

UHaul/Penske type trucks are hard to gauge where they come from as they get shuffled
around the country quite a bit. But it does mean people are moving. One interesting
thing I’ve been told is that truck rental fees for areas where people are leaving
are much higher than fees that would be going into that area.

I appreciate you making that point, about the country wide shuffling of the UHauls and other moving company vehicle licence plates. I have to say though, there are an unusual number of blue state license plates in TX & OKLA with nothing in them but the occupant. Not a positive sign by the looks of some of the occupants. Nova Scotia plate in north Texas is pretty weird also. :)

One thing that happens is when they get too many vechicles in one area they have
to deadhead them back to areas where the demand is greater. I knew a guy
that did that for Penske.
