Dem senate cadidates ops for politics of fraud

Lone Star Times:

In an outrageous display of placing personal ambition above common decency, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate from Texas walked all over the graves of the men and women that gave their all for our country. On a day that was designed to give us pause and to honor those men and women, Lt. Col. Rick Noriega chose to draw attention away from them and to himself.

Texas needs two senators fighting for our veterans and our families. It is reprehensible that Cornyn supports keeping our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan but refuses to provide for our soldiers once they return home. As a public servant, as a soldier and as a Texan, I am ashamed of Cornyn’s continued efforts to deny our troops the benefits they earned defending the United States.

I noted here that it would be a rough weekend for Sen. Cornyn and that Rick Noriega’s character was seriously in question. Even I did not, however, think that he would stoop so low on Memorial Day. In my naiveté, I thought that a man that has fought alongside those that sacrificed all would, at the very least, spend the day with the families of those men and women or perhaps attend a quiet memorial or just sit and hold his son Ricky, reflecting on the loss of so many.

I was wrong. They say that there is no honor among thieves and it must be true as well for ambitious, characterless politicians as well.

Just to be certain that people didn’t miss his grandstanding op-ed in the Chron, his campaign was working on Memorial Day, sending out emails, “highlighting” his attack upon Sen. Cornyn and linking to the Chron.

...

This is a disgraceful attack but typical of liberal Democrats. The NY Times editorial on the vote was just as fraudulent. In fact the alternative bill supported by Sen. Cornyn and John McCain is far superior, but neither Noriega, the NY Times or the Houston Chronicle had the decency to put the other side in context. Instead they all falsely acted as if there was no other competing legislation that had merits. The is politics at its worse. It is what can be expected from liberals in the media and on the campaign trail.
