Cornyn Praises Cruz, but Disagrees on Obamacare Tactics (Cornyn will vote for cloture)
Roll Call ^ | 9/25/13 | Niels Lesniewski

Posted on 09/25/2013 9:23:17 AM PDT by jimbo123

As Ted Cruz continued to hold the Senate floor, his senior GOP colleague from Texas was calling in to local radio stations expressing general support for the effort while noting a significant tactical disagreement.

“Ted’s been a great addition to the United States Senate,” Sen. John Cornyn said on KTSA. “He and I were dove hunting in Hondo this weekend together and we both agree that we need to defund and delay and defeat Obamacare to protect the American people.”

But Cornyn, the Republican whip, is in the camp along with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that plans to support limiting debate on the underlying House-passed continuing resolution, since that measure itself would block funding for the 2010 health care law that Cruz and other senators have spent all night speaking against on the Senate floor.

“I can’t see voting against that bill, which is what we’ve been asking for — for the last six months,” Cornyn said.

Too little, too late, Corny!

Here's hoping Rep Louie Gohmert runs for your Senate seat!

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

I’d sure love to see Gohmert run, too. IMO, he’s the real deal.

Cornyn will reget this cloture vote. The Majority of Americans will be in Open Enrollment in about 7 days and the AMERICAN GIANT WILL WALK UP. AND THE AMERICAN GIANT IS ABOUT TO BE ‘NOT HAPPY’.

He knows Cruz is annointed by the right and wants to give him feint praise before going against him.

He thinks he can have his cake and eat it too. Actions are what speak. How he votes on cloture is all that matters. We’ll see what he does.

Do we stand together against the forces of tyranny?

If ever there was a time to do so, it is now.

We will never be stronger than we are now.

Senator John Cornyn is the Republican Minority Whip to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

These two men control how y’alls interests are represented in the US Senate.

Both Cornyn and McConnell have pledged to oppose the efforts of Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund Obamacare.

To oppose Cornyn and any other Old-Style Republican, please contact them early and often.

Below is the contact information for Senator Cornyn.

BTW, an “Old-Style Republican” is one who always surrenders before a fight, because a better time to fight is always some time in the future, “away from the fog of the controversy.”

Strike a blow for THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY !

Contact the Old-Style Republican politicians!

If he votes for cloture, I vote for the challenger. I've told his office that. I'll do it again today.

This is why, in the end, Cruz can’t lose.
