Texas re-elected a douchebag in Man-On-Box-Turtle Cornyn (Picture an article)

[Suji to Seoul]

The new head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tex., said today the landscape will be different for 2010's Senate races as compared to last November's elections because "George Bush will not be in office."

"Now, what's different about 2010 than 2008? Well, George Bush is one of them,” Cornyn told reporters at the NRSC headquarters in Washington. His point was that many of the attack ads run against Republican candidates in 2008 “involved references to their connection with George Bush ... taking advantage of his low poll numbers and trying to tie that candidate to the president.”

Cornyn also pointed out that President-elect Barack Obama won’t be on the ballot in 2010, which he thinks “presents an opportunity” for Republicans.

“There’s no denying the phenomenon that the Obama campaign was in American politics,” Cornyn said. “In a midterm election, a non-presidential election year, there won’t be the kind of turnout you would ordinarily expect in a presidential year, nor will there be, I believe, the kind of enthusiasm you saw on the Democrat side.”

3. GWB is NOT a Texan, DAMMIT!!! Educate yourself!

He was born in New Haven, Connecticut and grew up there.

His life in Texas has been utterly phony, and we Texans are smart enough to see through his charade.

Please, throw him back to New Haven!!!

6. Earth to Cornyn...

So what if Bush is out of office? Democrats can still run ads connecting their GOPuke opponents to him. During the 2002 Senate race in NC, Liddy Dole ran attack ads against Erskine Bowles featuring his connection to Clinton. Who's to say Democrats won't do the same? Dumbya may be gone in 2010, but he won't be forgotten. Bush's disastrous Presidency will still be fresh on Americans' mind in 2010, and I hope Democrats use it to their full advantage.
