If Republicans Conservatives win

Fixed it for ya. This is not a Republican site. It is a Conservative, activist forum.

You are an extraordinarily rude poster. And I suspect there's more than just that going on.

Has anyone found that Cornyn has BROKEN THE LAW with respect to pensions. No? So how much of this rumor and smear campaign against Cornyn is a Democrat-led stealth attack to try to steal his “safe” Republican seat. Alinsky must be so proud that his minions are so skillful at getting patriots into fights against one another.

I'm kind of torn on this one, if he or others, legally worked a job to the point that they earned a pension, then worked another job where they earned a pension don't they have the right to both? Forget Cornhole, if it was a soldier who put in his twenty and retired with pension and then started a new career from which he retired with a pension would we be demanding that the person forfeit his military pension? Until a law is passed prohibiting this, what has he done wrong?

Check his posting history,he’s a Republican, not a Conservative. Interesting handle too, don’t ya think?

There are so many of them slithering around this website polluting threads, I swear they must be collecting checks from Priebus or Rove.

A lot of them around, and they REALLY don't like it when you call them out on their ulterior motives. Extremely thin-skinned.

I’m sorry you felt my push-back to be “rude”. I apologize.
