Cornyn vs. Facts - My Texas Sister Nails It!!
(This is from her blog, and she gave me permission to post it here.)
I'm so confused
(forgive me lord, but i hate his guts)
I got another email today from Senator John Cornyn, here in Texas. He is very confusing.
His emails consistently contradict everything else I read. Perhaps, giving him the benefit of the doubt, he has different, official, Senatorial sources. Or perhaps, as I suspect, he is a dunderhead.
Here are some of the points in his email, followed by some points from an article on CNN.com on the exact same subject. Draw your own conclusions.
Senator Cornyn:
Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released his 2,074-page health care bill, which Senate Budget Committee analysis shows will cost American taxpayers $2.5 trillion when fully implemented over ten years.
CNN:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled a sweeping health care bill Wednesday that would expand health insurance coverage to 30 million more Americans at an estimated cost of $849 billion over 10 years.
Senator Cornyn:
The bill will increase taxes on all Americans by nearly half a trillion dollars and breaks the President’s pledge not to raise taxes on working families earning less than $250,000.
CNN:
The Medicare payroll tax on individuals earning $200,000 a year and couples earning $250,000 a year would increase by half a percentage point, from the current 1.45 percent to 1.95 percent.
Senator Cornyn:
The Reid bill increases taxpayer spending and liability for health care over the next ten years—instead of reforming our already insolvent entitlement programs.
CNN:
The budget office estimated that the proposal would reduce the federal deficit by $127 billion over the next 10 years and by more than $600 billion in the following decade.
Senator Cornyn:
I am a complete dunderhead who loves to make up stuff and email it to people.
Me:
That is the first accurate thing I have ever heard from you.
Senator Cornyn:
But hey, who cares? I have great health insurance and nice white hair and I get to be on TV saying whatever the heck I want. I'm a Senator, you know.
Me:
Not for long, buddy. Not if I have anything to say about it.

One suspects the sparkling husband primitive's sister-in-law is a moonbat.

2. Kickin'.
Just for what it's worth, my sister is a devout Christian former Republican. She's become a staunch liberal! I'm so proud of her.
Yeah, yeah, like that's credible.

Hmmm.
The sparkling husband primitve's wife doesn't seem to draw like the sparkling husband primitive does; the above's the whole bonfire.
