especially since Cornyn showed his spineless side again.

You really show your ignorance. Senator Cornyn, along with Senators like DeMint, have fought the appeasers every step of the way. When leaderless Frist caved it was Cornyn, DeMint and a few others who have stood up to this administration.

UPDATE: Hotair correctly points out that McCain and Huckabee will be at two different airports in Wichita today. My error.

However, the airports are less than 24 minutes apart driving time. This still leads me to ask the question, WHY is John McC…..

The Senate is out of control. The senators scare me more than our new president.

I’d like to say I’m surprised by the members of the Senate Old Gray Hair Club are backing each other. Folks, unless you start voting incumbants out then the message they hear is “I can do anything I want” with absolutely no consequences. Politicians love sheople!

Damn, I mean this is what the PRIMARY is for. Vote out these career politicians who are buying votes with OUR tax money (lets pause for a special prayer: “Sweet baby Jesus, please let Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) be crushed in the next primary. Help us wipe that smug condecending smile off his face baby lord. Oh and let this please be by a candidate who is a. conservaive and b. not a political prostitute. Thank you, amen”)
I keep saying… this is what the PRIMARIES are for. to get candidates who don’t suck. or you draft them (like we tried to do with Fred. afterward is too late. is it too late for this country? Have the people and pols found a great way to scratch eachothers back? Pretty soon we will end up like Canada with the “thought police”. Time to invest a little more in the Guns-n-Ammo fund…

Voting for the less of two evils is still voting for evil.

This is terrorism by proxy. The Republican Party’s ultra-left wing aren’t compromising on a damned thing. They offer no carrot; only a stick: “Vote for us, because the alternative is even worse!”

Hiring John McCain for President of the United States is like building a highway by paving over a manure pile.

No matter how many layers of asphalt deceit are applied the foundation is still crap.

Conservatism won’t be changing, its the perverted path endorsed by people we trust thats changed in latitude.

The whole landscape is changing — in real time. Stand fast; when the dust clears, our way will emerge.

…How many rounds of this do you want to play?
Allahpundit on February 7, 2008 at 8:09 PM

As many as you’d like, darling.

OK, seriously, who didn’t see this coming?

The smartest person in the world knows he’ll eventually run out of intelligent things to say. But, unless physically restrained, any idiot in the world will happily talk in circles forever.

With all do respect, AP, when you offer to play directly into someone’s only strength what ELSE do you expect him to do?

Well he can all hope that he extracted some private promise on immigration.

Igor R. on February 7, 2008 at 10:36 PM

It’s going to be something like that.

You can take Cornyn to the bank. Those other jokers I can’t vouch for.

You’re right, he is golden. That’s why an endorsement rings false.

RushBaby on February 7, 2008 at 10:27 PM

Every time I see Brownback mouthing sweet nothings about McCain it reminds me that Mac paid off his campaign debts specifically for his endorsements. I don’t trust ANYONE endorsing the “straight talker”.

Seriously, Cornyn has been absolutely golden since we Texans sent him to the Senate. He’s never voted wrong in my opinion. Just yesterday a bunch of you were cheering him for proposing to cut off federal funding to Berkeley. Today he’s a turncoat, a traitor, and a RINO for saying he’ll back the nominee we can no longer avoid? Come on. That’s just not a fair assessment, guys, and you know it.

Mega Dittos!

John Cornyn is one of the reasons I am probably in a better position today that most people in this country. Texas is a far different state than most and we normally elect people that just get it. Cornyn is one of those guys.

Personally, he has been on my short list of POTUS. I would vote for him in a heart beat were he to run.

and jwp1964, I’ve been hoping to address you all day. The establishment crowd and the strident Moderates are the Republican party now. We are the new RINOs (Republicans In Name Only).

I’m not mad at Cornyn. I sense political blackmail.

JeffinOrlando on February 7, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Right on! I prefer to wander the political wilderness than sell my soul to McShamnesty and his RINO army. We’ve survived worse than Hillary and/or Obama. Jimmy Carter comes to mind. The RINOs will be kissing our ass to join us in 2012.
