Thank you for posting this excellent speech, SwinneySwitch.
I agree it was a great speech, but it will not be noticed. Perhaps if he had prefaced his speech with "Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is a no-good, sh*t-eating, bald-face LIAR, and here is why: ..." then it would have gotten some attention. As it is, a fine speech will be completely ignored by the MSM and the sheeple are still just as uninformed as before.
Yep, so far Cornyn appears to be doing a good job.
"The Rule of Lies"
whereas our Constitutional Republic was founded on the
"The Rule of Laws!"
Screamin' Dean may think he can have his way but all I can say is
"Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!"
Yep. Usually, when I log onto his site to send him my 2¢ worth on something, he has already posted his stance on the site, and it usually is what I was going to recommned anyway.
Light the fires and kick the tires!
"He has been a nice surprise for me. I wish Texans
in general were aware of the great job he is doing."
I remember meeting Cornyn after the primary, when he was the GOP candidate. I did not have anything against Cornyn -- but I felt an opponent of his would do a better job as senator. So I had not voted for him in the primary.
The meeting was just a small thing. Maybe two dozen Republicans on the courthouse square in Palestine, TX. But Cornyn spent time with each of us. As I pulsed him on the issues (thinking, this is the guy I am stuck with -- against a popular Dallas mayor), I began to realize how sharp he was -- and what a basically descent person. That is a too-rare combination in a world of sharp weasels and descent dolts.
As I explored the issues with him, I realized we were alike on most issues -- and the two or three I still differed with him . . . well time was to prove he was right. By the end of the meeting I went away thinking "this is the guy we are going to win with -- regardless of how popular the Dallas mayor is.
And I have never found reason to change that assessment or my support.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing that good info.
Was walking through Central Market in Austin one Saturday in the spring of 2002 when John Cornyn walked up and shook my hand. I knew who he was, although he didn't know me from Adam, and I introduced him to my wife and told him he had our votes. There's not a Democrat in the state of Texas who is worthy of comparison to John Cornyn.
The Dream Team sure turned out to be a nightmare for the democrats!
TY for the post! (& TY MOGOP for the ping!)
:^D

Thanks for the ping. I absolutely love John Cornyn. I was pleased when he ran for the seat because I have been "watching" him for a while. But he has exceeded my expectations by a lot. I am more impressed all the time. I have sent him e-mails on some of my views and I always get an acknowledgement. It is probably an automatic one, but I get one and he sends a real imformative newsletter periodically.
Before leaving, I went to Brooklyn Technical H.S. & Brooklyn College.
