Bwahahahahahahaa....This is going to be fun to watch:
The Republican Primary to End All Republican Primaries
Texas Senator John Cornyn's challenge from Steve Stockman, a militia-loving birther congressman, could be the ultimate expression of Tea Party nihilism.
"""John Cornyn, the senior senator from Texas, is nobody's idea of a liberal. He once compared gay marriage to the "union of man and box turtle." He has a solid 'A' rating from the National Rifle Association. He has opposed both of President Obama's Supreme Court nominees and briefly threatened to block the nomination of Hillary Clinton for secretary of state. He is considered one of the oil industry's most reliable votes in Congress and once suggested there might be a connection between murders of judges and public anger at liberal judicial activism. When most of the Texas GOP establishment lined up behind David Dewhurst in his Senate primary against a newcomer named Ted Cruz, Cornyn remained pointedly neutral. Last year, National Journal rated him the second most conservative senator.""""
So what's happening? The Tea Party is running against him!
"""Cornyn is up for reelection next year, and on Monday—the Texas filing deadline—he got a last-minute primary challenger in Steve Stockman, a newly elected member of Congress who prides himself on reactionary outrageousness. .......
"""Stockman's past is littered with curiosities, as Tim Murphy has recounted in Mother Jones. His wayward youth found him charged with a felony for stashing Valium in his underwear; homeless, he spent several months living in a public park. In the 1990s, Stockman found Jesus and began running for Congress.""
Of course!!! Welcome to the Tea Party, ladies and gentlemen.
