However, this Dallas Morning News article http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/national/stories/050809dnnatborderfence.4053ed2.html refutes the idea that Senator Cornyn is against funding the fence (or that the fence isn’t being built, since 301 miles of 370 planned miles are completed).

So...where's the fence? 301 miles in Texas? Yougottabekidding? The Texas Mexico border is 1,254 miles....plus daily monitoring and maintenance....

The truth about the fence as it is today, is a sad joke.... The Mexicans laugh at it and use (steal) the materials to build fences and dwellings on the Mexican side....

....and all i hear from Cornyn is crickets.....

Hatch is a despicable piece of horse manure. I remember him EULOGIZING that drunken killer Kennedy.

Nevertheless, most of the fence that has been approved and for which funding has been allocated has been built.

The Senate is structured for the maximum inertia. The fact is that Senator Cornyn has been consistent and constantly pushed against both the Bush Administration (who never had a clear majority, thanks to Jumpin’ Jeffers - and Collins, Snowe, Voinovich, etc.) and the Obama Administration on immigration, border, life issues and our right not to be reported.

Do you have an example of someone who’s been stronger?

Good grief man....what good is a dam that's 1/3 built?

No....I have input for only 2 senators...and both disappoint me is more ways than I have time or inclination to list..... I have volumes of correspondence with both senators....most of my letters are one question that require only a yes or no answer......and the their responses are pages of wasted paper....

Is it no wonder they are both putting the State of Texas in jeopardy of the DNC?

Do you know when that vote is scheduled to take place? Do you think any of the 7 RINOs might vote no to confirm him?

Did you hear Senator Cornyn on the news today refuting the idea that HR 3200 will not fund health care for illegal aliens?

Which of those simple concepts (context, content, and research) drove you to find a graphic of Austin Powers? I’m sorry that you don’t understand.

You goofed by calling me a man, and I assume that you’re implying that you meant it as a play on words, a a bad movie’s grammar cliche’. Why not admit a misunderstanding?

I don’t know when the vote is scheduled to take place. I expect within the next several days, or a week at the most.

Yes, I think some of the 7 useless RINOs will vote no.

we will have to force him to resign after he takes office then. We can’r give in simply because the creep got confirmed. Now he has an official position and may be even better to focus the bright light on him..
