Give 'em hell, John!

[MEG33]

He has been a nice surprise for me..I wish Texans in general were aware of the great job he is doing.

[jackbill]

Cornyn could have saved a few words if he had just said to Dingy Harry: "Up yours". But, considering the supposed comity in the Senate, Cornyn was right on.

Next step - the nuclear option.

[SwinneySwitch]

It's NUCULER option!;^)

[Pittsburg Phil]

Democrats are natural born liars.

This is one Texan that is really impressed by Sen Cornyn. He is doing a SUPERB job as a Senator, I just wish he was the chairman of the Judiciary Comm.

[MEG33]

So do I!

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? I do believe the gauntlet has been thrown down!

And .. they did it like gentlemen .. forcing the others to act the same.

And .. now the dems lies have been exposed to the public, and recorded in the Congressional record .. ROTFLOL!!!

He scares the living hell out of democrats, which is how I started to notice him.

Now, I know you can't trust left websites, but there is a genuine fear there of him running for prez in 2008, I don't know why, but they seem more scared of him, then anybody else.

[ThomasPaine2000]

He's smart. I hadn't detected the fear factor yet, but it is understandable.
BTW, I'm a New Yorker by birth, Texan by choice. Where in NY are you from? I was born in Yonkers, raised in northern Westchester Co.

That's because Senator Cornyn does not suffer fools gladly, he is a straight talking Texan, and IMHO, John Wayne would endorse him in a heartbeat.

Here's another reason 'Rats fear him: He 'looks' presidential, and we all know how important that can be.

[Sonny M]

Where in NY are you from?

Born and raised in Brooklyn. I'm kind of close to the border of queens though.

[Nathan Zachary]

That was excellent!! Well done Sen Cornyn!

That was a knock down punch with class.

[zbigreddogz]

I didn't think much of Conryn when he first came into office. I mean, sure, I liked him as much as any other decent R, but I didn't think he'd do much more then be a place-holder, certainly wouldn't be able to fill the shoes of Phil Gramm. But he really has been a good spokesman and a hardworking Senator. Keep up the good work!

[deport]

Swinney thanks for posting..

FYI.... a little chastisement and factual corrections by the Senator...

[Tall_Texan]

I'm not worried about Sen. Cornyn. I'm worried about the spineless lobby in the Senate that would rather have excuses for not passing judges or conservative legislation rather than taking the media heat for doing what is right.

[Nathan Zachary]

He does have the right look, doesn't he. He should put his hat into the ring in 08, so we can see how he performs under pressure. If he can talk like that spontaneously, the Dem's don't have anyone who can stand up to him. Then again, the Dem's don't have anyone who can stand up to anything. Just an old battle axe, thunder thighs, who's butt will surely be another foot wider by then.

[Temple Owl]

I just wish he was the chairman of the Judiciary Comm.

So do I!

[ArmyBratproud]

Texans are aware of him.

I hear people talk about him all the time.

[dennisw]

A super conservative except when it comes to his pitiful stance on illegal immigration.
