Cornyn's Day's are Numbered!

An atricle from Rio Grande Guardian...
(click here to read it) carries news of the entry of two Democrats into the race to take the Senate seat of John Cornyn, R-Texas, in the 2008 election.

One of the candidates is State Rep. Rick Noriega from Houston. Noriega is a five-term member of the Texas House. A lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, he served one year in combat in Afghanistan. His connections to Laredo and the Valley are strong thanks to his service in the National Guard. In Laredo, he was sector commander for Operation Jump Start for five months. He has been in the operational cell for three Operation Lone Star projects. And, he has worked closely over the years with the 3rd Battalion, 141st Infantry at Weslaco.

and, of course, my two cents...

If this is the sort of candidate we're going to field in 2008, then it sure looks like Texas is turning BLUE as the people realize their current representation has been nothing more bagman and bagwoman for the Bush Regime.

As Noriega put it, his intention was to “speak truth to power” over the coming months on behalf of millions of Texans who have not had proper representation in the U.S. Senate for the past six years. “This senator (Cornyn) decided early on to represent one Texan – the President of the United States. He has carried George Bush’s brief case. He has not represented the 22 million people that live in the state of Texas,” Noriega said.

I can't wait until Texans can scream, "FREE at LAST! Free at Last!"
