Cruz, Cornyn, and What’s His Name
So you heard that of the three senators who voted against John Kerry for Secretary of State, two were from Texas. That’s only because they won’t let us have 3 senators from Texas.
Ted Cruz
Most everybody knew that Ted Cruz was angling for Top Gun Teapartier status so he had to do something wild and crazy right away and making signs with misspelled words is so … well, yesterday. Literally, yesterday – and probably tomorrow, too.
So, Cruzapolooza went for broke and bad mouthed a guy with a distinguished military career as being anti-military. Cruz didn’t serve in the military, which means he loves the military because not serving was the nicest thing he could do for America.
Most folks, however, were a little taken back over John Cornyn’s vote. John Cornyn is so slick he can’t keep his socks up so we figured something was going on besides just “Holy crap, People, I’m from Texas so I have to be stoopid.”
The founder and director of a grass-roots conservative group said he expects Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, to face a primary challenge. Cornyn is up for re-election in 2014.
“I don’t know how good of a primary challenge he is going to get at this point, but he will get a primary challenge,” said Dean Wright, co-founder and director of New Revolution Now, based in Austin, Texas.
John Cornyn
Now I’m here to tell you that Cornyn knows that his vote was numbskulled and idiotic. He’s fully aware of that. So instead following the advice of party leaders for Republicans to quit being stupid and mean, Cornyn wants to lead the herd of chickadees down the path of self destruction because he’d rather be a shameless floozy in the senate than a wise and respected person anywhere else. Ain’t that just the saddest thing you’ve heard all day?
By the way, the only reason that Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma voted against Kerry is that stoopid spreads north. Luckily, Tom Coburn was wearing a tin foil hat.
That’s the truth. You can look it up.
You are just too funny, but right on the mark, as usual.
1I was born and raised in Texas for many many years. I am ashamed of what we have become. We are the punchline of many bad political jokes. Ignorance is a proud trait amongst a lot of people I know and it scares me. Hopefully we will wake up from this nightmare.
2Cornyn in cowboy duds is as ridiculously hilarious as imagining LouieG in cowboy duds~WHY-O-WHY does these idiot politicians think that makes them look more Texan? It actually makes them look like TexASS~
Remember a few years back when DC was hit hard by snowstorm, Inhofe built igloo~that is HOW stupid travels north~
Poor Rachel Maddow was sad to learn that since she tells truth, that Cruz did very well at Harvard Law and report it~so Cruz plays dumb is my guess, for Dumb for Dollars~
3Why the TP loves Cruz so much is a mystery.. perhaps they don’t know (and there’s soooo much they don’t know) that he was born in Canada…. sounds like Kenya to me! 🙂
4For entertainment value, you can’t beat a Republican Primary challenge from the far right. And if we can get them to talk about women, we might be able to beat them in 2014. Remember Clayton Williams?
5I’m sorry, I thought you used the term “wise and respected person” in the same sentence as “Cornyn.”
Pretty sure I misread that, right? Right?

I suppose you missed the “Big John” ads from a while back:

You may want to put a towel down on your seat before you click that link, though.
7I get e-mails from progressive organizations asking me to “ask your senators to . . .” No thanks. I’ve got better things to do than to ask those two strange human beings to do anything remotely sensible (by my lights).
8My question is when is Harvard going to ask for Cruz to give back his degree? I mean at what level does Harvard start sending out academic commandoes armed with ethics books
9and rulers– to slap the back of the heads of former students who go forth and act like donkey butts in public?

You need to contact your Senators. They need to know that there are people that do not agree with them. Make them think every time they vote that they are accountable to all the people in Texas, not just republicans.
10In almost every state there are congressional house districts and state legislative districts where Republican primary candidates have to pander to the far right. Unfortunately, Texas is one of the states where Republican candidates in state wide races feel obliged to do the same. But, seeing the glass half full, as Texas turns purple that insanity may lead to a majority of Texans voiting for Democrats.
11Let’s set one thing straight about Cruz, he’s no Tex-Mex he’s a 3 part Latino. His father was a Cuban immigrant and his mother was of Irish-Italian descent! To top it off Cruz was born in Calagary Alberta, Canada!
12Anyone seen his birth certificate?
Read in Politico (sorry) that Cruz is unhappy today because he can’t bring unloaded weapons to the gun control hearings. What an embarrasment!
13Olden Grey: I heard that also. It just bumfoozles me that the gun nuts want guns to be everywhere but ban them in the capitol. You’d think someone would point that out.
14Priceless writing. Thank you, Juanita Jean.
15Ol’ Hipshot and Teddy Dullbrain…oy, what a pair.
16Well, since Cornyn and Crudz are becoming such a-hole buddies, maybe Cornyn take his buddy shopping for some real Texas threads like his. Can’t wait to see the picture.
17They were successful in getting Cruz the nomination so they probably have a shot at unseating Cornyn especially if they get someone’s (Rove’s?) money machine to fund them.
18@Eykis – Playing Dumb for Dollars, I love it. For more hilarity, see Andy Borowitz: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2013/01/nra-defends-right-to-own-politicians.html#entry-more
19There is a big difference between being anti-military and being anti the Military/Industrial Profit machine that uses American soldiers as parts.
20I’m trying to be grateful for small favors, chief among them being that this ambitious huckster cannot ever run for POTUS.
21Three of them, as in Stooges.
22I giggle every time I see that picture of Cornyn when he was trying out for the part to play Dale Evans. Did he really go out in public like that?
Crudz (thank you, miz patti) appears to think he was elected to be the expert in everything about the government. Hopefully, someone will show him where the restroom is and tell him what to do with his crud.
23I think this might be my new favorite site! Love it! My husband and I are travelers in our VW bus in the summertime. We are headed through Texas on our way to New Orleans and had a few panic attacks about it. Should we take our Obama/Biden sticker off the bus (no matter – someone scraped it off our van in Arizona) and also our peace sign. Should we try to hang close to Austin, any suggestions on cities/counties to stay away from?? Now I read this and discover there are real people in that thar State of Texas. Holy cow & Happy Days!
24(Psst, Juanita Jean, don’t say things like “3 senators from Texas” outloud. Those fools might get an idea. Shh)
25I was reading that the people in Texas are fed up with Perry,
26I guess I am being optimistic but is there a chance for a dem?
Braxton: Thanks for the Big John video link. Nothing I had ever seen
27prepared me for that. Jumpin’ Jehosophat! Texas IS a different world.
