Don't know much about him, so I looked up his rating on the American Conservative Union's voting scoreboard. Cornyn's conservative vote rating for 2005 was 96%, 2005 was 100% and lifetime (3 yrs) is 94%. Only 13 Senators have lifetime ratings of 94% or better. Most of the Democrats listed are down in the 20's, teens or single digits. I can't imagine anyone wanting to replace a conservative voting Republican senator with a Democrat.

We can only wish that we had senators with 94% conservative ratings here in California. Feinstein is at 11%, Boxer is a pathetic 3%. By the way, Hutchinson is at 91%.

er, Cornyn's 2004 ACU rating was 100% not 2005.

By the way, I notice the only vote in 2005 that Cornyn didn't agree with the ACU was a vote on a procedural amendment having to do with the FTC and emergency measures in energy markets. Hutchinson and Cornyn both voted for the amendment but it was rejected by the Senate.

Both of their grades are horrible on the illegal immigration issue. Hutchison has a good grade over all for her tenure in office, but this term during this important vote, she is missing in action so far.

I know there are other issues. But none can compare to the issue of wheather we survive as a sovereign nation, or merely some psuedo illusion of a nation, full of psuedo citizens in the majority and demanding a no borders trade zone in it's place. There is no plan to control the borders, so we will have to legalize the next 20 million and the next 20 million and they will vote.

Your plan to kill off the Demonrat Party by voting Republican again and again sounds good, but is it workable given the close elections and the odds being stacked against us by the votes of legalized violators of our laws?

I'm open for, and looking for solid solutions. So do we roll the dice and teach RINO's that corporate money will do them little good when they find themselves in the hands of an angry electorate? Or hold our nose and vote for Republicans even if they are clearly globalists with a nation killing agenda? I have no intention of staying at home and punishing my great Congressman, but the ballot will be blank in alot of places. I saw this Conservative rebellion coming over two years ago, as conservatives woke up to the horror of extinction. We need a victory of some sort. But as long as we sit on our keesters do we deserve one? D.C. seems so impressed with demonstrators, why are we not demonstrating?

What do you see as the end reward for voting Republican again even if they are clearly against conservatives? I am open to just about anything at this point. Or if you had rather I shut up, I can go arrange my stereo wires, wash my car, curl my eyelashes...but I would sincerely like to know the details of how your agenda will work.
