Rick Noriega - Arrogance In The Name Of Passion (the series)

This latest episode comes from yet another of his fundraising emails:

Take the case of a few veterans I talked to in Nueces County at the Oak Pavillion: more than two years ago, they asked Senator Cornyn’s office to help them get the benefits they were promised — and they still haven’t heard back from Cornyn’s staff. Our veterans, and all Texans, have been ignored for too long by the failed policies of John Cornyn.

As this is a respectable place, I’ll use a term the moderator uses: Bovine Excrement! The “Chosen One” has taken this one too far. Now, I don’t know if this episode actually happened or not, you never know what people will say in support of their candidate. So, to be clear, I’m not saying that the “Chosen One” is making this up.

What I object to, strenuously, is his mis-representation of Sen. Cornyn’s record in regards to two things. First, listening to his constituents. And second, saying that Sen. Cornyn has ignored veterans. Balderdash!

Let’s be clear: no sitting U.S. Senator provides more opportunities to hear his constituents. None. Be it his Tuesday Coffee sessions or the immediate feedback you get from any one of his offices, that claim is just a bunch of, well, bovine excrement.

As to veterans, unbelievable. Does the “Chosen One” recall this?

“I thought it was going to be an easy thing. Well, I found out that’s not true,” Reed said. The first response Reed got was that there was nothing in his record about the incident, and that he had to provide witness statements and other verification.

Reed located two Marine Corps buddies, who provided the statements.

“Then I started sending all this information to congressmen, senators, the president, the commandant of the Marine Corps, anybody,” Reed said. “Well, I kept getting turned down.”

“The real support I got was from Sen. (John) Cornyn.”

Suggestion for the “Chosen One”. Stop. Now. Focus on your record in the Texas House and what you perceive to be your assets derived from your military service.

Stop trashing a good man.

My father, WWll vet and POW died three years ago in San Antonio. He was to be buried at Fort Sam with no Military honors, just planted. We contacted Sen. Cornyn’s office and got a call within 12 hours rescheduling my fathers graveside service and he received all the honors due a WWll POW; honor guard, 21 gun salute and a flag for my mother.(she would have gotten a flag in any event, actually).
Cornyn not responsive to veterans issues? Equine excrement!

Rick is the political equivalent of a toothless old Chihuahua – he smells bad and makes lots of annoying noise, but he’s incapable of doing any real damage. Just ignore him.

Dear Southern Tragedy,

Larry Kilgore for US Senate appreciates your support and while we want your vote, we really must ask you to look a little closer at Mr. Kilgore’s platform which is one of law and order — not mass execution.

Also, I ask that you refrain from making any more “jokes” at Mr. Kilgore’s expense. Thank you.
