Corndog is bubbling in the grease

A second poll confirms what the first one earlier this week revealed: Republican voters do not support a second term for John Cornyn as US Senator from Texas.

Even though Texas isn't yet in play for the Democratic nominee for president, a far greater number of Lone Star conservatives would vote for amnesty for illegal aliens, 100 more years in Iraq, more reactionary judges on the Supreme Court and no chance of health care for millions of Americans (aka John W McSame) than would vote again for a Box Turtle for the Senate.

That is a pretty significant and striking disconnect, even for Texas Republicans (never known for their discernment of hypocrisy in voting patterns).

Texas Blue, BOR and Burka have more.
