Cornyn focused on Senate race, keeping a high political profile

AUSTIN — The closed-door meeting of senators was tense.

With a comprehensive immigration reform proposal hanging by a thread in the spring of 2007, GOP presidential candidate John McCain used a barnyard epithet to accuse Texas Sen. John Cornyn of trying to sink the carefully constructed compromise.

Cornyn, who was pushing a provision that some said would make it difficult for many unauthorized immigrants to secure citizenship, maintained his cool in front of stunned colleagues but did not mince words with his powerful and volatile colleague, who had just returned from the campaign trail.

“Wait a second here,â€

I'll never forget or forgive McCain's attempt to ram Illegal Alien citizenship down the American's throat

(mod edit)

Traitors! And we are paying these people to do half the job.

I certainly won't forget that is was John Cornyn that voted YES for the Wall Street Bailout.
