As I recall after Murkowski lost the primary to Miller, Cornyn promised to remove Murkowski from her leadership positions. Given that she lost the Republican primary election and all. Never happened. Screw the tea party support Miller had. After the general election, Cornyn sent an aide to Murkowski. Cornyn is of the same entrenched repubie wing as Joe Straus.
#66 Hamathoritarian, at this point I doubt that you could comprehend my thoughts even if you perceived them accurately.

Bob, don’t you know by now that I am not interested in a prolonged discussion with you about much of anything? I will comment occasionally, but as Hamous said, anything more is a waste of everyone’s time. Yours, mine, and most of the Hamsters who probably, like me, skip over many of your posts.
#62 M42, I understand, and respect your right to have whatever opinion of me you choose. Bob, nothing personal, you understand.

Thank you to you both.
And wagonburner, yes, bacon must be slashed. When the doctors told me to watch the fatty foods, I immediately thought of those big plates of greesey bacon for dinner. I’ve also been told not to include cheese on my hamburgers. 🙁
I fell for the trap set by Sarge to deflect the issue, and that is my fault. Which I cleverly laid when I used my mind control beam to make you type: I believe that is the same Senator Cornyn who voted for the original TARP bill which opened the door to our current spending insanity and the same Senator… Read more »
#62 You’re wasting your time. Bobo thinks bell curves are a construct of right-wing authoritarian Christians. “Normal” is an intangible concept and is to be defined only by those the aforementioned authoritarians consider abnormal. Other nebulous concepts in Bobo World are man, woman, IQ, right, wrong, black, white, human, up, down, left, right. Abnormal is the new normal!
The issue I intended to raise earlier is not that of the fitness of Senator Cornyn as a conservative – the issue is one of stopping government spending.

what is or is not normal?
Bob, nothing personal, you understand. 🙂
But if you draw a bell curve, anything within about the middle 90% is more or less normal. The 5% on either extreme is not. Where I place you on that curve is based entirely on my judgement of your postings here.
