Ok Senator Cruz. So far so good. Now stop inviting others to Texas. It would be far, far better if they´d fix their own broken state.

We already have 25 million people in this Great State. We don´t need a bunch who have no common sense.

Jim Inhofe was tea party before tea party was cool.

This is certainly one time I am proud of my state

94-3 for John (3 purple hearts in 3 months-Vietnam) Kerry is sad for this country.

But since its done, please do your best for this country.

Every yes vote is a disgrace, a slap at America. But there it is -- The Club comes before patriotism.

Had enough?

Inhofe delivers, Cruz delights &I noticed Cornyn has lots of ground to catch up on to start looking conservative for his 2014 Senate run.

Predictably Cornyn makes his usual election cycle right turn. This is his fan dance, a rare seasonal break from his usual obstruction of conservative candidates, and polishing his knee pads in which he dutifully serves the bidding of the Rove GOP Establishment, to promote their RINO candidates.

Maybe Cruz could run against Cornyn in 2014 and he could hold both senate seats for Texas. That would be ok by me.

Well slap me silly John Cornyn voted ´no´? He must want to continue the job. Sen. Cruz you´ve made Texas proud to stand by you.

This clarifies things. We have 3 patriots in the U.S. Senate. That´s it.

This vote is emblematic of the anemic leadership of the stupid party, and yet further proof that the GOP is complicit in the progressive transformation of our country.

Tell me again about the principled Republican Party that just can´t catch a break from the mean-old-media and those hard right-wingers. I can´t wait for the excuses to explain away this pitiful performance.

The uncontested appointment of John [spit] Kerry as Secretary of State by the Republican Party is shameful, disgusting, and either rank cowardice or collusion. And this is the political party we are encouraged to support with our money and our votes? We´re supposed to waste more time emailing, letter writing, telephoning, and precinct walking for this? Give me a break.

Who is John Galt? What difference, at this point, does it make?

Thank you to my Senator Inhofe!

Is the southwest the only place left in America that will stand up to cowardice????????

#1, just because you are lucky enough to be a texan doesn´t mean that the rest of us can´t aspire to be. As a Californian, I have two senators who are almost bulletproof and a state legislature that is vetoproof democrat. My vote is irrelevant thanks to gerrymandering, as the votes of The Bay Area and Los Angeles counter all other areas of the state. Why should I have to beat my head against a political wall? This will not change in my lifetime, so if she who must be obeyed ever allows it, I´m out of this state as fast as this old body can move! And you Texans are usually hospitable.

Proud of Cruz.....if only we could get another one like him in there to replace Cornyn, he´s a rino. Also hoping all these unhappy ppl from other states ONLY come to Texas if they are legal citizens and cont. to be contributing citizens AND remember this is a CONSERVATIVE state......we like our guns and rights.

#12, my ancestors weren´t ´lucky enough´ to be Texans, some were on the plain of San Jacinto and others got here soon after, long before being Texian was cool. We are not the same people as those northeastern wimps, nor the west coast fruits and nuts. We really don´t want the backwash from California.

You´re right about that....no backwash for us please.

Well, most of my neighbors in the TX Panhandle were all from some other state and wonderful American neighbors they were. So, let´s not scare good folks from coming to Texas. Cruz makes us prouder every day! Senator Inhofe, God bless you too!!!

Not trying to scare ppl from moving to Texas....just letting them know they will be held to a higher stander. We are conservative and want to stay that way.

I would love to retire to Texas. Is Austin a little less homophobic than the rest of the state?

Another reason I am done with the Republican Party.

What 19 said...

The GOP will never see another dime from me..except the ones I individually donate to..and a bunch of them fell off my list today. Portman, Thune,not happy with Rand Paul or Rubio today either.

Another reason why Republicans are like Democrats, in that they cannot be trusted to govern this country.

Did any of these great senators bother to ask about Lurch´s DD214? The one he promised to release years and years ago but which never seemed to appear? Or would that be too confrontational...?

I doubt many of them even know or care what a DD214 is, #23.

It seems to me that it should be a matter of public record, available under FOIA.

As a point of interest, Inhofe endorsed Ted Cruz´ Republican opponent David Dewhurst in the runoff between the two last year. Thank heaven Ted won. The entire GOP establishment went for Dewhurst so Inhofe wasn´t going rogue. As far most GOP voting for Kerry, I felt physically ill when I first read of it. Kerry is an extremely troubled person on many levels, personally and business wise. Cheating his home state out of $500,000 in docking fees for his yacht is OK with everyone I guess. Massachusetts taxpayers are still paying for Obama´s Aunt Zeituni and could´ve used help from billionaire Kerry.

How about that? The lying, tax avoiding Lurch is now Sec of State. I really don´t think this country will survive 4 more years.

Who comes first with our illustrious US Senators?
They do.. each greedy, self-centered, career-minding trough-feeder.
John Kerry as Sec of State is even more disgraceful than Hillary Clinton.

For the next 15 months, Cornyn becomes a reliable conservative vote. The the Primary will be over and he´s back to good old John.

Semper Fi

Mr Cornyn, we are not deceived. Kabuki theatre is becoming very familiar to those who are paying attention.

I guess no one questions where Jon F´n got his OWN treasure chest of $170M or $190M, more than even Mitt Romney has. How does that happen when your salary is $175,000 a year? And for them to make their nasty comments about how rich Romney was when one of their own had more. We know how Romney got his. Which lobbyists did Jon F´n´s come from?

Those Republicans who voted for Kerry may have done so because there was someone even worse waiting in the wings, hard as that is to imagine.

I am amused to see how the presence of Ted Cruz added enough steel to Cornyn´s backbone to vote "no" against the infamous, battle-scarred, heavily-decorated Viet Nam veteran.
