Conservatives Deem Cornyn A “Squishy Moderate”

A popular Texas-based conservative e-mail newsletter has deemed U.S. Senator John Cornyn a “squishy moderate” for his alleged support of an immigration reform package.

Coming on the heels of Cornyn being booed at an anti-tax “tea party,” The Peter Morrison Report, published weekly, attacks Cornyn as a betrayer of his party and suggests that Cornyn and GOP conservatives are in the midst of a schism:

Senator John Cornyn has betrayed his party, the voters who put him in office, and the people of Texas and America.  Cornyn, a Republican In Name Only, has signed on to be a part of Obama’s sham “bipartisan” effort to “reform” immigration in America.  This is nothing but a brazen plan to betray the American people by shoving amnesty down our throats in the name of “immigration reform.”  It’s bad enough that Obama and the Democrats want to stab the American people in the back, but it’s unconscionable for alleged Republicans to help them do it.

Conservative Texans have known for quite a while that Cornyn is not one of us.  On many important issues, he’s a squishy moderate who can be counted on to let us down when the stakes are the highest.

He’s similar to the self proclaimed “maverick”, John McCain, much of whose presidential campaign consisted of him talking about how well he gets along with liberal Democrats. Cornyn is always willing to take one for the team – as long as it’s the other team.  It’s worse than that, actually – men like McCain and Cornyn are willing to throw the game if it wins them adulation from the Democrats and their friends in the liberal media.  Loyalty to the people who elected them means nothing to these sellouts.

Just look at Cornyn’s response to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.  Sotomayor is a hard core leftist who will be a disaster if she’s confirmed for the vacant seat.  She has made it abundantly clear where she stands on issues of vital concern to conservatives and average Americans, both with her record and her many public statements.  She has stated that a “wise Latina” like herself makes a better judge than a white man.  She made a horrendous ruling against hard working white firefighters who got shafted in the name of affirmative action and racial quotas.  She brags that she herself is “the perfect affirmative action baby”, who never would have been accepted into the Ivy League schools she attended if it weren’t for anti-white discrimination, because her test scores were so low.

What was Cornyn’s reaction to all this?  He condemned Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich for simply pointing out her racist statements and record:  “I think it’s terrible. This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent,” Cornyn told
NPR’s “All Things Considered” of the attack on Sotomayor as “racist.” “Neither one of these men are elected Republican officials,” he said of Gingrich and Limbaugh. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate and I certainly don’t endorse it. I think it’s wrong.”

Of course a traitor like Cornyn thinks it’s “wrong” to point out that Sotomayor openly brags about her anti-white racism.

Looks like Cornyn has a lot of problems with his own base. Sadly, it will be six years before he is up for re-election, but those problems will only more between now and then making Cornyn even more unpopular.
