Texas Senator John Cornyn Ads

This site is getting all sizes and shapes of ads with a picture of Eric Holder asking: "Do you support enforcing the law?" or Click here to support "Pro Life." I sent the following note to his campaign:

Sen John Cornyn,

I am responding to your many ads on websites I frequent ... they bring the following to mind:

"Now many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo-goo syndrome.' Good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." —Paul Weyrich, 1980

(Weyrich of the Heritage Foundation / ALEC / Moral Majority / Council for National Policy / Krieble Institute / ad naseum )

"We are different from previous generations of conservatives... We are no longer working to preserve the status quo. We are radicals, working to overturn the present power structure of this country." —Paul Weyrich, 1984


Your ad campaign probably plays well in foxville, and even abc, cbs, nbc and all the rest of your propaganda minions but 'we the people' who pay attention are growing in number and see past your childish Holder bait and straight to the objective of your pointedly selective call for 'law enforcement.'

How about a word or two on United States Code > Title 18 > Chapter 118 > War Crimes 2441?
Thought not. You are just another poster child of self-serving privilege serving the privileged, aren't you?

Bye, bye
