Cornyn draws 3 pensions while he cuts pensions for veterans. Typical.

This could hurt him in a runoff.

Frankly, this is a non-issue, compared with letting Obamacare stagger on, and repeatedly letting Obama add another trillion to the national debt.

Talking conservative while he lets the Democrats get everything they want.

I think we should un-elect every elected official in the country and start over—with new rules, including term limits………….

Cornyn stole from conservatives near Delaware
AFTER he targeted the candidate.

There is a word for that.

Cornyn draws 3 pensions while he cuts pensions for veterans. ______________________________________________________________ If those 10 words were to get into the hands, or ears, of every person voting in the March 4th Texas GOP Primary, I guarantee you that John Cornhole would not even make the run-off. So.... What do we have to do to make that happen?

What a pig, eating at the trough of government all these years. He is one of too many life-long leeches doing the same thing, but at least the Democrats don’t bleat about being “deficit hawks” while firmly attached to the shrunken teat of the nanny state.

The closing line is really worth noting “[A] senior staffer for a conservative Washington think tank scolded: “Aren’t there more important stories out there?” The staffer added: “I personally like John Cornyn. Nobody here is going to talk to you. Everybody double-dips in Washington.”

Don’t know which think tank this is, but it shows what we are up against if this is view of somebody on “our side”.

He’s not the only multiple pension recipient in Congress, not that I’m letting him off the hook. Congress is often the ultimate goal of novice pols who start at the school board level and work up, collecting pensions along the way. it’s the one road in the US that is paved with gold.

I doubt that John Cornyn is the only one in Congress collecting pensions plus his salary…

why not check EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN CONGRESS..

the people who run this country are all crooks, cheats and liars..so nothing new there..

In his first public comments since updating his disclosure forms, Cornyn said in a conference call with reporters last week that the delayed disclosures were an “oversight.”

He declined to elaborate and when asked to respond to criticism about “double-dipping,” the San Antonio Republican quipped, “I don’t think my microphone’s working, I said that’s all I have for you on that.”
