... or as Republican Sen. John Cornyn called him, "a mainstream traditionalist."

Sen. Cornyn's comment deserves to have the iris around it: It's high time recover the meaning of language. "Extremist" fits better for a liberal, because liberals call themselves "progressive" because they are "progressing" from the mainstream.

Kudos, Sen. Cornyn. Freepers, take note.

Liberals are "progressive" like cancer.

They want to euthanize you, neuter you, and abort your children. They cling to gay marriage and higher taxes and government-run hospitals (ever been treated in a low-morale field hospital??).
