Cornyn's record is superb: Specter, Crist, Castle, Lowden, Murkowski all endorsed. All losers and all endorsed by Cornyn. I was a Democrat (60's and 70's), was a Republican (80's and 90's) and became an Independent several years ago.
I have followed enthusiastically the Tea Party since virtually its inception. I attended the 9/12/09 Tea Party in Washington and also the Beck Echumenical Council of 8/28/10. I am from New Orleans and know first hand large crowds (think Mardi Gras) and the number of attendees at each of these functions clearly exceeded 500,000.
Where do we go from here? First, I think we have to button-hole the lame ducks and bring whatever pressure to bear that we can - maybe have their replacements sit in the galleries and/or outside their offices. Tell their house (from their state) colleagues that unless they bring pressure on the duck not to do anything foolish - like leaving before extending the tax cuts or voting for cap and tax, etc. or their scalp is next.
Sorry about the rant, but fear is a wonderful motivator. Copy Cornyn on every transmission.
We need to unload Cornyn——————and Graham and Hatch.
