Despite a crowded field of Republicans seeking to unseat U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, voters are well-served to support him for a third term.
Within a decade of his first election, Cornyn emerged as a party leader in the Senate, quickly climbing to the position of minority whip — a role in which he wields tremendous influence in the 100-member body.
While several of his primary opponents articulately express what they see as Cornyn’s complacency in supporting an all-too-powerful federal government, none can be considered a serious challenger.
The seven candidates seeking to unseat Cornyn are hotel industry executive Curt Cleaver; aerospace consultant and retired Army officer Ken Cope; small-business owner Chris Mapp; retired Air Force officer Reid Reasor; Houston-area U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman; business owner Dwayne Stovall and immigration attorney and small-business owner Linda Vega.
Their respective platforms vary in depth and focus, but their ideological underpinnings are largely indistinguishable. Each opponent sees Cornyn as an impediment to the restoration of constitutionally limited government.
These concerns are misplaced on a candidate with high-caliber conservative credentials.

Funniest. Headline. Ever.
Cornyn needs to ride off into the sunset.
The only way to do that is with term limits and the only way to get term limits is via a constitutional convention.
Yes, the Star-Pravda went this route when they were over-run with conservative comments criticizing their Leftist columnists' drivel. Many conservatives refuse to use FascistBook, so the rag effectively censored most conservatives by instituting this cowardly policy.
The two comments (at this time) are telling. No love for Cornball.
Leftist hate Cornhole because he is simply a "Republican," and conservatives hate him because he is a RINO conspirator.
For progressives... yes he is.
ABC - Anybody But Cornyn. I like Ken Cope. Retired Lt Colonel
Full stop. That's Wendy Davis. I'm the only Windy around these here parts!
I sent email to Cornyn and told him to stand with Cruz or we will find someone who will.
Cornyn is burning through money for radio ads like a...drunken senator afraid he is going to loose his cash cow.
Watch. . .
Once Cornyn wins the primary the paper will endorse the democrat candadate and attack Cornyn.
Just like the MSM did to McCain. . .showing all kinds of luv until he got the nomination.
Just watch. . .
Sorry but he won’t be getting my vote.
Perfect description of this slimeball's recent advertising actions.
Just like the liberal media kissed up to Chris Christie until AFTER he, Karl Rove and the RNC finished giving them millions of dollars in re-election advertising?
And just like they also waited until the DAY AFTER Christie signed the RAT NJ Amnesty bill before they threw him under the bus?
If someone has to spend millions of dollars in radio advertising to tell people he’s conservative, he’s not conservative.
I’ve always thought his name was misspelled:
Cronyn, or Crony?
Knowing full well he’z being deceptive sends shivers down my spine.
That’s funny.
Exactly! I crack up when I hear that deep male voice-over on his radio ads. Like some guy from an old western movie or ad.
I’d love to hear Steve Stockman do a PARODY ad, about Cornball’s *conservative creds*, using a sound alike voice!
I sent a few bucks Stockman’s way
I'm not the only one that feels that way.

I hope this means you will do more than just not voting for him. I hope it means you will support Steve Stockman, and that you will work to campaign against Cornyn.
Walking precincts while distributing literature has an effect on the voting tallys. I know this from first hand experience.
It's time for real world activism.
I'm getting behind Stockman. I listen to the guy and think....wow, he'd make a great addition to Ted, Rand, Mike Lee.
Send $$$$ y'all. He needs to get his message out against an entrenched politician Cornyn.
