It seems that Democrat Rick Noriega has a problem with Senator John Cornyn -- he represents the state of Texas the way that Texans vote.

From Noriega's new campaign video:

For the past six years, the junior senator from this state has merely represented the Administration. The other 23 million Texans need representation, too.

Well, let's consider how Texans have actually voted. In 2000, George W. Bush received 1.37 million more votes than Al Gore. In 2004, George W. Bush received 1.7 million more votes than John Kerry.

Now I don't know about you, but based upon those numbers, the people of Texas seem to have given George W. Bush a pretty decisive mandate in 2000 (59% of the vote) -- and increased that mandate in 2004 (61% of the vote). It seems pretty clear to this observer that John Cornyn has been doing precisely what we sent him to Washington to do with 55% of the vote. That is the essence of representation -- unless you are an arrogant liberal who believes that the voters are too stupid to understand who and what they are voting for, given the fact that Texans have not given a majority of their votes to a Democrat seeking the presidency since 1976.

Noriega's entire video plays to the Kos Klownz Krowd, not to real Texans.

CLOSING QUESTION FOR NORIEGA: Having attended a conference at which a member of the US military was silenced for saying that the war in Iraq is going well while wearing his uniform, how do you dare include so many pictures of yourself in your uniform while you do voice overs on political topics?
