Texas has a new Tom DeLay: Senator John Cornyn. And we have a great netroots challenger!

[johncoby2]

If you liked Paul Hacketts run for Congress, or Senator Webb's victory, you will love our candidate who is running against John Cornyn.



Our candidate, Rick Noriega:

Is a State Representative in Houston
Is bilingual
Is a Lt Colonel in the National Guard,
Will be promoted to a battalion commander next month,
A paratrooper,
Served 14 months in Afghanistan,
Served on the border concerning illegal immigration
Appointed by the Mayor of Houston to lead the Katrina relief effort
Has served his community, his district, his state, and his country.

And now he is answering the call to run for United States Senate.

Rick Noriega is the complete package. He is exciting. Articulate. Intelligent. He doesn't talk about immigration and the war on terror, he has been there, on the ground, commanding troops.

1. Go Rick!

I just HAVE to call you out, though, on saying he is articulate and intelligent and failing to mention he is clean.

:rofl:

2. Great!

While I believe Tom Delay is one evil bastard, comparing that idiot Cornyn to him is just...inaccurate.

This Democratic candidate sounds great!

I don't think Cornyn is smart enough to realize how close to the end of his political career he's come.

3. You forgot good looking,,,maybe some of the American Idol

voters will go for him. Cornyn looks like a sneaky snake.
