>> I think Cornyn is doing pretty well, unlike many “girly-men” Republicans in Congress.
Relatively speaking, yes. But I want a principled conservative. Not a “relatively” conservative. Comparing him to McStain and his ilk is, quite frankly, settling for a very low standard.
>> Cornyn said he put the “hold” on Holder’s confirmation to win a commitment that he would not press prosecutions against anyone who used harsh interrogation techniques during the Bush administration.”
Isn’t that exactly what I said in my post? NOT ENOUGH. Give me a break. Do you really expect devious scum like Clintoon and Holder to honor such “commitments”? Look Holder is wrong for AG on so many issues — gun control, to name a HUGE one — and, what’s more, he’s a criminal (ref. Clintoon era pardons). Cornyn shouldn’t be playing footsie with this bum, he should be OPPOSING HIM in no uncertain terms, with fire in his belly.
“But I want a principled conservative. Not a “relatively” conservative. “
This attitude is exactly what lead to the Dems taking over Congress in 2006, Obama’s election and the Dems consolidation of power in 2008. You and others like you weren’t willing to accept anything but “pure” conservatives, are more interested in defeating Republicans, than defeating Democrats. Result: what we have today.
I hope now you are happy with Obama and the far left Dems ruling the country.
