I thought that John Cornyn senior senator from Texas was a conservative. That started to unravel when he refused to support Conservative candidates, he was the chair of the Senate Campaign Committee and he supported “moderates” not conservatives. He would not support Ted Cruz in TX until he had to because Cruz won the nomination to the Supported Candidate, Moderate that he is. So now Cornyn votes to allow the Senate Majority leader Harry Reid to add back in the funding for Obamacare, yes Cornyn was one of the turncoats who refused to vote against Cloture on the House Bill to fund the government, without funding Obamacare.
He claims that he supports defunding Obamacare, but he doesn’t support his fellow Texas Senator Ted Cruz, so instead of voting with Cruz and other Senators to defeat cloture, and force the Senate to continue debate on the bill, he voted to allow the bill to come to the floor for a vote, which allowed the Democrats to include an amendment to fund Obamacare. I will say he voted against the bill, but it never should have gotten to the floor in the first place. Of course he can say that he voted against funding Obamacare, but the truth is he voted for it before he voted against it. Just like John Kerry could say he did.
It seems to me that if you are against something then you should do everything you can to stop it from even receiving a vote. Ted Cruz stood against any funding for Obamacare, and filibustered against the cloture motion, all to no avail since the establishment Republican Senators refused to stand against the cloture motion. It is time to vote these old people out of congress and senate positions that they have held for years, it is time for us to send true conservatives like Cruz and Lee to the Senate and the House. Of course that means that we have to stop voting for people who promise us the moon, more spending and more taxation is not the answer, it is time for austerity. We need to reform the tax laws and the so-called entitlement programs. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are rapidly going bankrupt, they need to be reformed. We also need to get rid of the invasive actions of our Federal Government. End the NSA spying on us, rid us of IRS and its goon squads who will do anything to keep the Democrat machine in power. Especially rid us of the UNIONS who bleed us dry and do little to actually help anyone, workers included.
