Wow. It looks like the Noriega campaign is turning as dirty as the candidate himself. Their newest ad accuses John Cornyn of have ties to the now infamous Jack Abramoff. You can see the (terribly amateurish) ad at the link below, which for some reason I couldn't make a link. Hm. Whatev.
In case you can't get to it, the ad accuses Cornyn of doing the "bidding of convicted felon Jack Abramoff." While the claim is vague, it likely is referring to the Tigua Indian's casino in El Paso, one of Abramoff's many undertakings.
Here are some facts to ease any doubts about the integrity of Senator Cornyn. First, he's never even met Mr. Abramoff, and only briefly met his associate, Ralph Reed, at the RNC Winter Summit in Austin in 2002...more than two years after then-Attorney General John Cornyn filed a law suit to shut down the Tigua casino. Second, the state Senate Indian Affairs Committee, after a thorough investigation, found that any claim to Mr. Cornyn had any association with Mr. Abramoff was without merit and press investigations found no evidence of any meetings ever with the man.
