Cornyn's Nightmare Becomes Reality

Like a thief in the night US Rep Steve Stockman Texas District 36 has challenged US Senator John Cornyn. With only a minute left on the 6pm deadline on Monday, December 9, Stockman filed in Austin for the Senate seat held by Cornyn. There are a total of eight candidates, including the incumbent Cornyn, who will struggle to win the Republican nomination. There are also two Libertarians who will certainly draw support from Texas Republican voters. That’s a pretty crowded field all scrambling for Cornyn’s seat.

It seems that Cornyn lost favor when he refused to support his colleague US Senator Ted Cruz during his 21 hour filibuster to repeal ObamaCare. It was the last straw you might say since Cornyn had already paved a road of fiscal irresponsibility with his voting record on T.A.R.P. and the “infamous New Year’s Day 2013 fiscal cliff”. You might say Cornyn helped pave the road to where we are today. Joshua Withrow of Freedom Works has listed ‘Senator Cornyn’s Top Ten Bad Votes’. Cornyn also set his reputation as an ‘established’ senator in concrete in 2012 when he refused to support tea party senate candidate Todd Akin after he misspoke giving the seat back to the very liberal Senator Claire McCaskill. Cornyn’s predicament has been a long time brewing.

Stockman, a Tea Party favorite with only $30,000 in his campaign fund, will certainly make Cornyn dip into his $7 million war chest. Stockman who lives in Clear Lake was a US Rep District 9 from January 1995 to January 1997 and was elected again as a US Rep to a newly established District 36 in the November 2012 election. Stockman was one of ten Republicans not voting for John Boehner as US Speaker of the House managing to vote ‘present’. Some of the incidents Stockman is accused of being outlandish are: His invitation of Ted Nugent to the State of the Union Address, an Obama Failometer billboard in the corridor of the Capitol’s Cannon House Office building at Stockman’s 326 Cannon Office. Stockman was asked to take down the Obama Failometer by officials of the US House Operations offices. He was supposedly cut off by Fox’s Greta Van Susteran for threatening to file paperwork to impeach Obama.

It sounds like Stockman says what the ‘silent’ majority is thinking but we shouldn’t always verbalize what we are thinking. We won’t know until March 4, 2014 at 7pm just how bad Texans want a ‘change’. We all understand that sometimes ‘change’ is not in the best interest of the people. Stockman is not free of controversy and it would be wise to research and read about him before the March 4th Primary Election. Two things are for sure, it’s going to be a wild and entertaining primary and Stockman’s staff is definitely more voter friendly than Cornyn’s. Your vote will decide who is elected as our US Senator for the next six years, Cornyn or Stockman.
