Agree that we must do more than just not vote for Cornyn in the primaries, and not vote for whoever the Republican nominee is. But, Steve Stockman may be worse than Cornyn - check out his record (note that neither of these sites is sponsored by any particular candidate):

Or here.

Wow. After reading your comment I initially thought perhaps I had been too hasty in suggesting that conservatives should back Steve Stockman. I decided to look at your evidence to see if there were objectionable things about Stockman which should preclude conservatives from supporting him, and I was immediately struck by how shrill were the accusations against him.

It quoted Newspapers (Who are generally very anti-conservative, and therefore make terrible character references) and it quoted some Attorney who sheds no light at all on the nature of the accusations.

It looked exactly like the sort of thing a person running against him would say, and it did not look at all like something which an objective watchdog organization would say.

I decided to look up this organization calling itself "Texans for A Conservative Majority " to see who they were. I found out they were a sock puppet created by John Cornyn to attack Steve Stockman. (Whom I have no affiliation with whatsoever. Don't know him, never met him, haven't sent him any money, but am thinking about doing so now. )

So now i'm kinda P*ssed, because It appears someone tried to play me for a fool. So then I checked out the next link you sent.

WTF? Politico? Are you F***ing kidding me? The most left wing and deliberately dishonest political commentary website on the internet?

Okay, now you've got me wondering if you either have stunning level of ignorance regarding political manipulation, or you are a knowing and willing participant in it.

Are you a Cornyn supporter who is not providing full disclosure, or are you simply that gullible? If there is a third possibility, please advise, because I can't think of one.

I'm not trying to be provocative or unfriendly, and your Freeper page indicates you ought to be a decent sort of fellow, but I am now suspicious of your intentions in putting forth these links.

Clear this up for me please.

I was only stating that there are two sides to every story and there are other choices besides Stockman. I used to like Cornyn, but, like many, totally disagreed with his actions regarding Cruz and cloture, so I’m looking for a viable alternative. I recognize how questionable some of Stockman’s naysayers are, but I haven’t seen him refute most of the allegations. So, I intend to carefully vet each of the candidates (other than Cornyn - I know where he stands) and make a rational, informed choice. But, for the sake of full disclosure, regardless of who wins the Republican primary, I intend to support him / her in the general election to help prevent a liberal from taking the seat.
