AUSTIN, Texas, December 13, 2013 — In the few days since Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX) declared his intent to challenge Senator John Cornyn for his Texas Senate seat, there has been a frenzy of attack articles from the left in Texas and in the national media. Stockman’s name is apparently like chum before sharks for leftist commentators and this latest move has them totally unhinged.
Stockman’s great offense? He’s a conservative with a sense of humor.
Apparently it is absolutely unforgivable to mock the president and the administration. Stockman’s transgressions in this area make him the target of the righteous ire of progressives in the media and on the internet, because they hit so close to home and point out that their gods have feet of clay.
The utterly humorless Ben Jacobs at The Daily Beast responded quickly to Stockman’s entry into the race with “Five Outrageous Outbursts by Senate Candidate Steve Stockman.”
These outrages included Stockman’s contention that since Alfred Kinsey was a child predator maybe we shouldn’t use his work as the basis for sex education programs, Stockman’s amusing tweet that Chlamydia was more popular than Obamacare since it had more cases per month than Obamacare had signups, Stockman’s insightful comment on mob rule pointing out that it was majority rule which got Barabbas pardoned and Jesus crucified and a couple of other true but politically incorrect statements.
Not to be outdone in leaping to the defense of the political establishment, Daniel Strauss at Talking Points Memo has almost doubled the whining with “9 Crazy Things About Sen. Cornyn’s GOP Challenger Rep. Steve Stockman.”

Sounds like a FReeper!
Loose cannons are exactly what we need. Time to speak truth to tyranny. The rest of the GOP has unilaterally disarmed.
Well I won’t be voting for Cornyn. Third party here should he win the primary.
Article is a good read: at the end:
Certainly his role in trying to remove John Boehner as speaker didn’t win him any friends at the top of the party.
This just proves Rush’s point that the Libs have no sense of humor - none at all - nada, zip, zero. What boring lives they must live always trying to be PC over everything and always looking for offenses that may or may not exist . It must be difficult trying to tell others how to live their everyday lives while their own is a total mess.
A Democrat plant? Think about it. His votes(one) don’t make much difference in the House. Give him the nomination and WALLAH!

You can tell how good a candidate is just by the reaction of the Media. If they are going full attack, it’s a pretty safe bet that you have a Winner!
The flack that STEVE STOCKMAN is drawing from the GOP Establishment AND the Libtard Media is all that I need to know that I am making the right choice in fully supporting STEVE STOCKMAN.
John Cornyn has proven beyond a doubt that he is a major part of the problem in the Senate. He has repeatedly been on the Harry Reid side of the issues while telling us that he is a “conservative”, just like we are.
That nonsense ends in 2014 when we send STEVE STOCKMAN to the Senate.
Haven’t been following this, but I thought that the left adored stand-up with edge.
This guy made me laugh. If he can also legislate, he looks pretty good.
Stockman’s amusing tweet that Chlamydia was more popular than Obamacare since it had more cases per month than Obamacare had signups,
i’m using that line again.
“Apparently it is absolutely unforgivable to mock the president and the administration.”
No it is only unforgivable to mock the messsiah of the left and it’s misadministration. It is still perfectly fine to mock GB and call for his death though.
Methinks that we NEED a Cannon in Washington rather than the pop-guns that inhabit the place now!
I met Stockman at an event some years ago at meet your congress candidates get together
Give'm hell Steve, there's a many of Texans ready for a Cornyn alternative!!
Stockman is who we need to replace Cornyn.
Freepers, you will see troll entries here from Cornyn’s paid campaign workers.
You will see polls that are really campaign lies from Cornyn’s staff.
This is a a fight. I urge you all to post, support and cheer Stockman.
Cornyn won't have time to try and define Stockman as a whackobird...Indeed. the vote won't be FOR Stockman..it'll be against Cornyn..if the voters in Texas are really PO'd..then he'll do well..
He is also under attack by some Tea Parties over tactics on the ground in campaigning and the recent Breitbart check on the Chronicle’s investigation regarding his campaign finance. However, his voting record is solid right-wing and he does defend against the invasion. RARE! I hope he can get the tea parties in his area back on board by explaining some things. Some are backing Stovall who has been in the race for some time now and garnered considerable support. He is a “Constitutionalist” but also a contractor.
