The first sentence says Cornyn has been a reliable conservative? I don’t know his entire record, but the impression I get from Free Republic, is that he is a RINO type, and his being RINO is what caused Paxton to challenge him in the primary.

Yes it’s nonsense

Cornyn is an establishment RINO inside the beltway Senator. He votes mostly conservative but often not. The legislation he votes for is so he can win the next election not based on his principals. I do not know what his true principals are? My vote goes to Paxton.

“Sen. John Cornyn has long been a reliable conservative in Congress.”

Exactly right. When an article starts off with an outright lie, it does not deserve further reading.

Yes. My impression is that he's like Linda Graham. He'll vote Conservative when it's time for him to get reelected.

Cornyn turns conservative about 18 months before reelection. It is a cycle we have seen many times.

I knew him for a rino when he was Texas AG. I”ve never ever voted for him even once. Will be glad to see him out of DC.
