Republican Sen. John Cornyn told the Washington Post that he had problems with several positions Hagel has taken over the years, many of which will receive opposition from both sides of the aisle.

“It is not just an isolated problem. It is a consistent position in support of American weakness,” Cornyn said. “I can’t support a Hagel nomination if it comes … There are some points about his record that make him unacceptable.” …

Cornyn beats the hell out of any Texas Dem. Cornyn has been a loyal Texas Republican from day one, which does not mean a Tea Party guy. Me thinks you need a dose of Yeller Dog Dem history for perspective.

There are plenty as you describe. Stand by, Texas just traded a lot worse for Ted Cruz, so there is hope.

No, a Dem would be better than a Trojan Horse dirtbag who is trying to destory it from the inside. He should be impeached. Even Hutchison was better than that commie.

Texas is going to be worse than California in a few years.

Sadly you are right. Just look at the demographics in the schools.
I lived in Dallas when it was a conservative city. Now look at it.

Happy to see you in such a Christmas mood, carraway’d as usual.

What the heck, did Cornyn do something personal to ya?

Kaye Bailey did start out more conservative, but as the cheerleader uniform faded so did her politics.

Texas ain’t ever going to be worse than kalifornicate. Even the mass of U-Haulers from the west will learn the hard way just like the U-Haulers from the north did and nobama is about to find out. Don’t mess with Texas.

“If your idea of a conservative is Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter, and Lincoln Chaffee, than you and I have very different opinions.”

I have to wonder if you were perhaps drinking when you posted this? Your rejoinder appears to bear no logical relationship to the post to which you are putatively replying.

And, even if you were stone-cold sober, let me suggest you were perhaps looking for a fight where none is to be found.
