<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Texas Sen. John Cornyn hearts drilling and a good brew]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by PermieWriter http://www.grist.org/article/big-bad-john/ Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:41:36 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/big-bad-john/1 Big John

And the Daily Show has already spoofed this ad, generating a campaign ad from Cornyn's supposed opponent. The word elitist is used many times, as well as several jokes Stewart can only get away with making because of his own religious and ethnic heritage.

Eat what you grow, grow what you eat

More like Gutless John unwilling to show some leadership and tell this constituents that their decadent fossil-fuel based lifestyle is over.

Aside from John's "open government" philosophy he started when Attorney General (and hasn't done much about since then), most yellow dog Democrats in Texas hate his proverbial guts. Including me.

Does he represent his voter base in Texas?  Well, I suppose he does, although he doesn't seem to support wind or solar energy that is being promoted by other Republicans in Texas, chiefly Jerry Patterson of the TX General Land Office. The omission is very telling.

For you politicos, Governor "good hair" Perry wants to run for President after this administration, Sen. K. Bailey Hutchinson wants to be Texas Governor, and John Corny or whatever ... gee, we need somewhere for him to go ... said very tongue in cheek.  -sammie

Onward through the fog

This ad is positively un-American.  If it were not for a few sweet Texans such as Sammie Wells, Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee (originally from Queens, NY), and the horticulturalists at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, I would say we should chuck the state out of the Union and say Good Riddance.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
