Cornyn: GOP would 'welcome' party switch by Joe Lieberman

[bobbyw24]

"I think Joe Lieberman is a great patriot," Cornyn said. "He's certainly a hawk on national-security matters."

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Senate Republicans would "welcome" any Democrats who wish to switch parties and caucus with the GOP.

Cornyn, the head of Senate Republicans' campaign efforts, floated the possibility that the GOP might target Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats, or another Democratic senator if Republicans come close to winning a majority but fall short.

"I think he votes like a Republican on those areas, and we would certainly welcome him or any other Democrat who wants to switch sides of the aisle and caucus with us," Cornyn said of Lieberman during an Election Day appearance on Fox News.

Hmm-didn't think of that

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) runs the Constitutional Committee... what an insult to our US Constitution.

Even people in Texas pick the lesser of 2 evils, but this garbage of Lieberman to the GOP, should be a RED FLAG alert to anyone with common sense that there's no difference between these 2 parties.

Of course they would. It's a numbers game to them.
Plus, they care more about war than economic freedom.

When is John Cornyn up for re-election?

We could seriously take him out with a Joe Miller or Rand Paul type candidate. I think we would get the backing of other conservatives upset with the NRSC like HotAir and RedState.

We will get a trial run in two years here in texas. Most people think Michael Williams will run against her. We will see how he does. I don't know if he is a liberty candidate, but I know he is at least a Miller, Lee, Buck, Demint type. If he is able to win the primary, we might be able to field someone against Cornyn.

Because the majority of the GOP "leaders" don't actually give a rat's ass about it.

Hmm . . . what Joe Miller or Rand Paul type candidates are there in Texas? ;)

[itshappening]

Cornyn needs to go, DeMint should be head of NRSC

this is proof they've learned nothing.

Haha. Hopefully Deb Medina can recover from the 9/11 truth debacle..

Haha. Hopefully Deb Medina can recover from the 9/11 truth debacle..

i doubt it will happen. new constitutional conservatives will have to step up.

[Bern]

Cornyn is a tool. A GOP tool.

[moonshineplease]

Proves the Republicans are not serious about anything this time around. How many times has this snake changed parties in the past? A fake independent that appeals to big gov statists that appeals to necons on foreign intervention. Lieberman is the absolute worst we have.

[MozoVote]

Corn Rind is just demonstrating the sale ol, same ol.
