| | '''John Cornyn, III''' (born February 2, 1952 [[Houston, Texas]]), is the [[Moderate Republican]] senior [[United States Senator]] from Texas and a leading [[RINO Backer]] in the party. Although somewhat [[conservative]] in his first term,<ref>In 2006, ''The National Journal'' ranked Cornyn as the fourth most conservative Senator. [http://nationaljournal.com/voteratings/sen/lib_cons.htm?o1=con_composite&o2=desc]</ref> Cornyn today is little more than a puppet for [[liberals]] in the Republican Party. He currently serves on the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, Budget Committee, Finance Committee, and Judiciary Committee. Cornyn is chairman of the [[National Republican Senatorial Committee]], and pulled $5 million in spending out of the toss-up [[Missouri]] race for the U.S. Senate in 2012 because [[pro-life]] [[Todd Akin]] spoke out too much for the unborn. | | '''John Cornyn, III''' (born February 2, 1952 [[Houston, Texas]]), is the [[Moderate Republican]] senior [[United States Senator]] from Texas and a leading [[RINO Backer]] in the party.
