Senator Cornyn Responds to Our Ad; Smears Veterans

Endangering security. (0.00 / 0)

The only security that is in danger is Cornyn's job security. Maybe thats what he meant to say.

Jeez, Louise! (0.00 / 0)

  So, does Cornyn have any solid evidence that his policies (hand-in-hand with Bush) have actually benefited American security?

 As usual, he reverts to the baseless GOP charge that anyone who disagrees with such policies is "weakening" our nation. He has nothing else to say after that. Why? There's nothing left in the GOP playbook. When all else fails, challenge your opponent's patriotism. Cornyn's statement rings quite hollow.

 I challenge him to clearly deliniate for us HOW the Webb GI Bill negatively impacts national security. Oh, and that challenge stipulates that his rebuttal must be based in fact.

 He's blowing smoke, he knows it, and it's clear that holding on to his Senate seat is much more important to him than confronting the realities of our weakened defense posture of the last five-plus years, thanks in part to his die-hard support of failed policies in Iraq.

"The anti-war crowd is determined to use our men and women in uniform for their political advantage, even if our national security is jeopardized in the process,"

I can't believe you are being used this way.  Next they'll say TBI is anti-war mind control.

Oh, and I am always pleased to be informed that I am anti-war by someone who has never served.  How stupid must one be to not understand the irony of such things?

Letter to the Editor of El Paso Times (0.00 / 0)

Senator Cornyn will not support the current efforts to provide our troops with a suitable G.I. Bill.  When confronted by veterans asking for his support, his campaign manager responded:

"The anti-war crowd is determined to use our men and women in uniform for their political advantage, even if our national security is jeopardized in the process," Cornyn campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin said.

This non-answer is most disappointing.  One has to wonder why the senator chooses to pretend the anti-war crowd asked, instead of acknowledging the veterans who want an answer.  Will Cornyn act like an adult, or continue to act like a Republican?

A good point to add to this (0.00 / 0)

Is the fact that numerous different veterans groups from both sides of the political aisle support this bill.  This includes the VFW and the American Legion.
