Hopefully, Texas should show some good sense and oust incumbent John Cornyn...then again, these are the same folks that voted for Tom DeLay-and if my local state convention is any indication, these idiots will vote for bunny-raping-Bambi-killers simply because they're Republicans.

Here's some info on Cornyn via Wikipedia:
On Energy/environment

In 2005, Cornyn voted against including oil and gas smokestacks in mercury regulations. He voted against factoring global warming into federal project planning, and against banning drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He voted against reducing oil usage by 40%, rather than by 5%. He also voted against removing oil and gas exploration subsidies. During his tenure in the Senate, Cornyn has scored 0% on the League of Conservation Voter's environmental scorecard, a system of ranking politicians according to their voting record on environmental legislation. Cornyn has been described by Jim Jubak of MSN Money as one of "Big Oil's ten favorite members of Congress," as he has received more money from the oil and gas industry than all but six other members of Congress.

On civil liberties (or lack thereof)

In September 2005, Cornyn sponsored a bill that would allow law enforcement to force anyone arrested or detained to provide samples of their DNA, which would be recorded in a central database. He voted to recommend a constitutional ban on flag desecration and for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. He also voted for the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act and extending its wiretap provision.

On supporting the troops

Cornyn voted against removing troops from of Iraq by July 2007, and he later voted against removing them by March 2008. He voted against implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Report and restoring $565 million for states' and ports' first responders. He also voted against restricting businesses with ties to terrorism. He voted against preserving habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees. Cornyn was one of only 22 Senators to vote against the 2008 GI Bill that would expand the educational benefits for soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He instead co-sponsored SB 2938, which gives benefits that are dependent on length of service

Cornyn was also quoted as saying in defense of the Patriot Act and susequent wiretapping assaults on civil liberties:

Cornyn, a Texas Republican, said on December 20, 2005:
None of your civil liberties matter much after you're dead.

And, of course, there's his new ad that's causing quite a stir.

I would like to assure anyone outside of Texas that might view the video above, all Texans are not like that-we don't all wear 10 gallon hats or own cattle; it's just that some of our political critters obviously never outgrew dress-up and playing pretend.
