It's so unfair the way Jim DeMint is taking all this flack - especially when there were races he didn't get involved in (like Nevada). But it would be nice if the NRSC picked the best candidate the first time around so there wouldn't be a messy primary fight with the winner battered and easy pickins' for the Dem in the general.Not sure how I feel about DeMint saying he won't oppose incumbent Republicans. Does that mean we're stucky with the likes of Lindsay Grahamnasty and Orin Hatch? Yuck.

Cornyn can take a hike. DeMint should recruit someone to run against Cornyn. I’m sure the Tea Party will help.

Oh, but Cornyn and the NRSC didn’t interfere in a senate primary. Ohhhh nooooo.
And of course we would all prefer the senators to pick their own colleagues. We wouldn’t want the people to do it. Ohhh nooooo.

Cornyn deserves as much respect as Romney and Rove
and for the same reasons.
He is a backstabbing RINO skunk.

The days of elitist status quo are over, Sen Cornyn. Get the message or get a real job.

I want more conservatives but I also want them to be electable. No more wrestling witches and zombies please.

“Plans” can and do change.
Orrin Hatch needs to go in 2012.
With or without DeMint’s help, Orrin will have conservative challengers.

Sen. John Cornyn said during a closed-door meeting Tuesday that he expects colleagues to bring their concerns to him about candidates he recruits as National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman and not to help mount challenges against them...Here's the deal, John. We the People will recruit our own d%$n candidates, we'll fund them (and defund you) and you can either get back in touch with the Constitution and the people of this country, or you can get out of the way...

I was hoping that maybe Cornyn would straighten out.
Evidently not.
Jim DeMint’s candidates were a hell of a lot better than his, and they probably would have won if they hadn’t been dissed and undermined by the likes of Rove and Cornyn.
Choose decent candidates in the first place and there wouldn’t have been a problem.
And if you think that we’ll put up with ALL of the incumbents, you’d better have another think coming. It’s the same situation as it was before the election. If the Republican Party doesn’t see the light, then it is finished, and it will be replaced. We cannot afford any more of the same old, same old.

All of these jackasses will have to go. It will take some time but it will be worth it in the end. The establishment Pubbies act like some sort of aristocracy. Inbreeding among powerbrokers results in candidates like Moo-cowski.

Exactly. But when the NRSC gets behind the likes of Mike Castle we end up with Christine O'Donnell's. Luckily in Florida that didn't happen.

Had Cornyn directed the NRSC to support the winners of the primaries they would have more than likely won, or achieved much better than they did, so this is Cornyn pointing the finger of blame away from himself. He’s a RINO, and to me this proves it as Leftists are the ones with that pointy finger.
RINO’s are Leftist Republicans. I think we all know that.

Cornyn would be a great Senator, if he were from Maine. Texas owes us better.

Cornyn picked Crist. For that sin alone, he should keep his mouth shut.

Cornyn again??!! Houston, we got a problem! Out he must go. He’s acting like a foreigner to Texas. Good luck with that Soros international man.
