houston conservative Endorses John Cornyn for Senator
As I have been saying, this year is the year for the "down-ballot" elections for me. In keeping with that policy, I am announcing my whole-hearted endorsement for returning John Cornyn to the Senate.
I am proud of Texas for having been wise enough to elect John Cornyn to the Senate and I have seen nothing that would disuade me from supporting his return.
John has consistently been on the correct side of every issue that has come up before the Senate. He is a stalwart of the Right and the equal of any Conservative in the Senate.
He recently returned from a visit to the Middle East:
Is he perfect? Hardly, but then no one in Congress is perfect (with the possible exception of the new Democrat Messiah Barack Hussein Obama, who according to the latest press reports, can walk on water). I have a couple of disagreements with Senator Cornyn, but then I had some disagreements with Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Ronald W. Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, and G.W. Bush.
There is no such thing as a perfect Conservative...except possibly for your humble writer...because unless the person is my clone, he is not going to agree with me on everything [too bad].
Seriously folks, John is a smart, capable, credible and consistent Conservative and I have continued high hopes for his continued success.
The man the Democrats have chosen to run against him, State Representative Rick Noriega lists as one of his signal accomplishments in state tuition for "immigrant children." From his website, we find this:
It would appear that Mr. Noriega's interests run contrary to what would be best for Texans and are sympathetic to what would be best for the illegal immigrant population of Texas...and by implication...all of America.
Do we really need a senator from Texas who would promote policies intended to attract more illegal aliens to America? Don't we already have enough problems with illegal immigration and the burdens it places on the already over-taxed citizen?
This is not about immigration. We all came from immigrant parents...even the so-called Native Americans came here from Asia...no, this is about controlling our borders and knowing who enters and who leaves our nation.
One must wonder if Mr. Noriega is one of those who believe in the greater Aztlan nation.
John Cornyn has endorsed a good common sense approach to securing our border with Mexico which emcompasses a system of concrete levees to aid in flood control and will still provide a good level of security for our borders. It's not all I would have hoped for, but then, as I have said, I know I will never agree with everything Senator Cornyn has done and the truth is, his solution may be better than mine.
We can only wait and see. In the meantime, progress will continue on securing our borders.
Another major issue is the infamous "Trans-Texas Highway" or "I-69 Corridor." While their can be little doubt that this project will greatly benefit Texas' economy, it does provide some cause for alarm. One is forced to ask will the vast increase in vehicular traffic and container carrier traffic be accompanied with a commensurate increase in the trafficking of drugs and illegal aliens.
Again, I am adopting a wait and see attitude. Like Lucille Ball, Senator Cornyn and other advocates for the TTH have some "splainin' to do." Of course, endorsements are a two edged sword, because I am endorsing John Cornyn, I will be scrutinizing his record in the Senate and when I disagree, I will be holding his feet to the fire.
In the meantime, I give my full support to John Cornyn. He is right for Texas and he is right for America.
Go John, Go!!!
Long Live Our American Republic!!!

Cornyn returns from visit with Texas troopsTexas sends some of the best Conservative legislators in Congress to Washington and John Cornyn stands out among them. He is strong on the border, strong on gun rights, strong on the economy, and strong on the right to life.

AUSTIN – U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan over the last several days to meet with Texas troops and receive briefings from military commanders.
He returned to Texas on Monday.
“I welcomed the opportunity to meet with Texas troops serving on the front lines in the war on terror, and thank them for the tremendous sacrifices they are making on behalf of our nation,” Cornyn said.
“Our troops in Iraq have made remarkable progress in recent months, bringing peace and stability to once violence-plagued regions of that nation. There is still much work to be done but make no mistake about it, Gen. Petraeus’ plan to defeat the terrorist networks in Iraq is working.”
On Friday, Cornyn arrived in Bagram, Afghanistan, where he met with the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division. He then traveled with to a forward operating base in Jalalabad and was briefed on combat and reconstruction operations by the brigade commander.
Is he perfect? Hardly, but then no one in Congress is perfect (with the possible exception of the new Democrat Messiah Barack Hussein Obama, who according to the latest press reports, can walk on water). I have a couple of disagreements with Senator Cornyn, but then I had some disagreements with Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Ronald W. Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, and G.W. Bush.

The man the Democrats have chosen to run against him, State Representative Rick Noriega lists as one of his signal accomplishments in state tuition for "immigrant children." From his website, we find this:
"The most significant accomplishment of Rick's second session in 2001 was passage of House Bill 1403.This was an historic bill, making Texas the first state in the country to provide in-state tuition rates and financial assistance for certain immigrant children; today, thousands of them are attending college...[Emphasis added]All of which leads me to wonder if State Representative Noriega would be a Senator for all Texans, or only for the Hispanic community.
...For his courage in authoring HB 1403 and his leadership in shepherding the bill through the legislative process, Rick received numerous awards including one from the Texas Association of Bilingual Educators, Texas LULAC. He was also selected by the Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education (TACHE) and Hispanic Journal as "2001 Legislator of the Year." The government of Mexico honored Rick with the Ohtli Award in 2002, presented to U.S. citizens of Mexican descent who have distinguished themselves in public service."
It would appear that Mr. Noriega's interests run contrary to what would be best for Texans and are sympathetic to what would be best for the illegal immigrant population of Texas...and by implication...all of America.
