But the “wink wink” stuff isn’t helpful. Individuals endorse candidates all the time even though the organization does not. It’s happened here several times since I’ve been around.

Cornyn is a good man, but does not belong in that post.

When choosing someone to navigate a ship, it’s always better to find someone who knows how to read a compass.

Is going to replace him? And what will this person do better?

Sadly, KBH did not keep her word and step down following the March primaries. Therefore, we will have to wait until 2012 to have Michael Williams represent our state in the Senate. Very sad! When 2014 rolls around, we need to find a replacement for Senator Cornyn as well – someone of Michael Williams cailber. Cornyn is a decent man and someone that I have supported in the past, but he has been a disappointment to me overall as evidenced by the material set forth by Erick in this post and through his general reluctance to embrace Conservatism and take advantage of the support that the people of Texas would show him if he were to stand up and be a TRUE Conservative. He seems intent on the ‘go along to get along’ attitude that permeates so many in DC.

we need Republican political leaders who are – dare I say it? – stridently ideological. When you are opposed by a political enemy that is committed to your destruction, you do not have the luxury of being ‘pragmatic’. Pols like Cornyn are hyper-concerned about being respectful and accomodating. They are afraid of offending friends and enemies. Democrat tactics have made this type of Republican dangerous. We need fighters – politicians who will righteously defend and promote liberty and constitutionalism; politicians who will do so proudly and without hesitation.
Are there any strong conservatives in the Senate who can take Cornyn’s place? Can someone suggest a candidate?

Never thought I would say that, but it seems to be increasingly true. Cornyn is a disappointment to me. He seems to be “moderating” the longer he stays in Washington.

John, it is time to come home after this term is up in four years.

He is part of the clique Sean Hannity mentions as a problem in the Senate and I agree.

I just came this observation.It probably won’t have any real effect but it shows where their mindset is:

“They’re also remarkably petty about their role in these elections. They operate as if candidates aren’t really legitimate unless they have the NRSC stamp of approval, despite the fact that the committee’s track record in picking candidates is mixed at best. This is even reflected on their website where they have a practice of leaving competitive candidates who they don’t like off of their candidate listings, or listing them with broken links to their websites. In some cases they’ll list their preferred candidate and a minor candidate with minimal support while ignoring the candidate who is leading in the polls despite not having their support. All very petty.

For example, on the page for the Kentucky election the link to Rand Paul’s website doesn’t work. The Arizona page doesn’t even list any of the candidates except John McCain. The Florida page has Marco Rubio conspicuously omitted. On the Indiana page Hostettler is missing from the listing. On the Nevada page the link to Danny Tarkanian’s website also doesn’t work. These are cheap shots, but could influence voters who go to the NRSC for information on these races and are thus misled by the faulty information on their website.” http://www.fontcraft.com/liberty/?p=22287

Screwing up and expecting to continue in the same roll? Time for Little John to head back home.

Yep Cornyn has done an awful job at the NRSC.

Raised record money, beat out the Dem committee, GOP won MA Senate race, recuited quality candidates…ahead in all the polls.

Turned a overall loss of one or two prediction at the beginning of the year, to a gain of 5+, just awful awful. Yeah he must be a (wait for it….) RINO.

Who else is running for chairman, and who votes?

Cornyn is a good Senator, but horrible as chair of the NRSC.

this November seems to be a rather large assumption.
Except for Massachusetts, where we elected a very liberal Republican, not much seems to have gone well in the House/Senate arenas.

I doubt that it was the Boo!’s that turned him off.

When he commented on it last year, he was about as bad as Lloyd Doggone!

He doesn’t care about fair representing the people.

I’ve watched him flip-flip on Repeal and go against his own party members who DO listen to their constituents and say “Yes! We’re repealing, 100% no doubt!”

Cornyn is more interested in getting the HuffPo story straight and pandering to the left than anything else.

Need proof? Check out his Facebook page. He cites their stuff as though they are still relevant to the Party. Why?

He’s more interested in propping himself up and cleaning up his little mix-ups w/ Ariana than he is in listening to the voters.

I think the only thing that saves him from being labeled another Snowe is that he’s from Texas.

Poor leadership. Worse listening skills. He wants to save his career like the rest of them.

He hates the idea of taking a secondary, non-leadership role and running the lecture circuit!

He needs to go!

I can’t wait till that RINO is ready to run again. We won’t forget. Corny John & Kay Bailout are a disgrace. It’s sad to think these 2 represent Texas. No principles what so ever.

to ONLY make donations directly to verified conservative candidates. No senate committees. No PACs. Just to the candidate. And I listen carefully to Erick Erickson for recommendations on which candidates meet the definition of “verified conservative.” The NRSC is pretty much a moot point by now, isn’t it?
