US Senate Candidate Ken Cope Says Sen John Cornyn Has Become Disconnected From The People Of Texas
KFYO Lubbock ^ | 2/20/14 | Ariel Walden

Posted on 02/20/2014 12:05:25 PM PST by jimbo123

On the Thursday edition of The Chad Hasty Show, U.S. Senate candidate Ken Cope spoke with Chad Hasty about his campaign for Senate and why he decided to challenge incumbent Senator John Cornyn.

Cope had some harsh criticism for Senator Cornyn, calling him a “seatwarmer” and arguing that he is not the big conservative fighter he claims to be. Cope added that many people are rightfully angry at Cornyn, and that the Senator had become disconnected from the people of Texas and has turned into another career politician.

“[Cornyn] has done nothing on immigration. He’s done nothing about tax reform. So there are many examples [of being disconnected], and when you just throw in the campaign finance money, he’s just a disaster as a leader. And that is what is coming through loud and clear. The people in Texas are feeling it. That’s what they’re articulating to me.”

Cope added that Cornyn doesn’t seem to understand that conservatives need to start fighting back now if they ever hope to regain control on the government.

Time to move him home. If you can't defdeat him move him, and all Sen's back to their respective home States, somewhere other than the State Capitol. Someplace close to their constituents. Let them be close to the people who elected them and far from the corruption in DC.

When they support bills which are detrimental to their home state, may be a few thousand of these people outside the door will be able to convince them.

E-mails and faxes are easy to ignore. Pithcforks and torches; not so much..

Dorms still leave them too far from their constituents and too close to lobbyists, and other arm twisters...
