John Cornyn hates firefighters
He must, if you look at the way he votes. From a Texas Democratic Party press release:
Yesterday, Republican John Cornyn attempted once again to paper over his failed record in the U.S. Senate with a newspaper opinion piece offering hollow praise for America ’s first responders. Cornyn, who has been a staunch supporter of the Bush Administration’s failed policies, specifically highlights the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program and how it has benefited Texas ’ first responders. But what Cornyn fails to mention is the fact that he actually voted AGAINST increased funding for that very same program.
“John Cornyn says that first responders ‘earn our respect and gratitude every day,’ but his rhetoric doesn’t match his record,” said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie. “Instead of putting words on paper, Cornyn should put his votes where his mouth is and stand up for Texas ’ first responders.”
Cornyn Claims to Support Funding for Firefighters: In his op-ed in The Countywide, Cornyn praised the State’s “spirit of volunteerism,” which he said is exemplified by firefighters. He specifically mentioned the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program that helps first responders to be “prepared and up to date.” [“First Responders: The Spirit of Volunteerism,” The Countywide, 8/29/07, http://www.thecountywide.com/pages/070829/page03.pdf]
Cornyn Voted AGAINST Increased Funding for Firefighters: During consideration of the 2005 Homeland Security spending bill, Cornyn sided with his Republican leaders in the Senate and rejected a proposal to increase funding for firefighter assistance grants by $150 million. The increase in funding would have provided protective gear for up to 200,000 firefighters, more than 650 new fire trucks, 400 new rescue vehicles or more than 33,000 new breathing masks.

“John Cornyn can write an article for every newspaper in Texas, but his empty rhetoric does nothing to provide our firefighters with the equipment they need to protect themselves or the people of Texas,” said Richie. “Cornyn keeps talking out of both sides of his mouth, hoping that Texas voters will believe what he says at home and ignore what he does in Washington .”

The first line of this article discredits this article from the get go. I almost didnt read it any further.
The article itself is an accurate Modus Operandi of Junior John.
“Junior John can write an article for every newspaper in Texas, but his empty rhetoric does nothing to provide our firefighters with the equipment they need to protect themselves or the people of Texas,” said Richie. “Junior John keeps talking out of both sides of his mouth, hoping that Texas voters will believe what he says at home and ignore what he does in Washington .”
In example: GI Forum piggy back letter now disappeared from the Newspaper website.
Senatorial Prevarication: Junior John has always been able to say WATT ever he needed to say, promise WATT ever he needed to promise and in Washington vote and act in the obtuse of his word and break promises he never intended to keep. Even though Junior John prevaricates and breaks his promises nobody has endeavored to place his voting record next to his promises and commitments where they can be easily checked.
With Junior John, he has never been a good guy; but he always twirls the policy and influence (that he controls) to project an image of goodwill and honesty. A false image, but a believable image if one can buy the outer shell without any research or due diligence to discover the reality (reasoning) of his actions.
Janus-faced - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another; "she was a deceitful scheming little thing"- Israel Zangwill; "a double-dealing double agent"; "a double-faced infernal traitor and schemer"- W.M.Thackeray
Surprise, now the oral spoke word becomes the written word as it is published on the World Wide Web as is the way he votes.
Do they correlate?
Hell no, not even close.
Besides being disingenuous, his articles appear to be modified versions of other's work product or just a baffle em with bull sh/t and they will believe it attempt to poke eyes as he has had success with in the spoken word.
Not possible in the written word as once it hits the web it will remain clear and concise without wiggle room.
It just goes to show us how low intellect he believes we are.
And quit saying his name, it is free publicity and gives him name recognition.
