Rick Noriega For US Senate

What a fantastic ad. Seriously, one of the best I have seen yet. The visuals are moving and the story compelling. Noriega, a veteran, state legislator and leader shows how he helped deal with the fallout of Katrina in Texas, went to Afghanistan and Iraq as a soldier and worked with other lawmakers as a state representative.



Now I know why everyone has been raving about this guy.

And oh how this contrasts with "Box Turtle" John Cornyn, who is a Bush rubber stamp and one of the dumber and more bigoted GOPers in the Senate (and that, of course, is truly saying something). With Cornyn's approval rating in the toilet--a place one could also find objects with a roughly similar IQ--get ready for this to be a nasty race, as a true hero takes on a slimy sewer-dweller who can only sell hate.

He did a live chat at Fire Dog Lake this past weekend.

I promptly sent him some LUUVVV.

Would that he could kick that silly Cornyn to the curb. Please, God.

You forgot to mention that Cornyn is a chicken hawk warmonger who likes to send other peoples' kids off to die, while Noriega actually put on the boots.

Glad to know you see what we in Texas see.

We can't have too many fighting liberals-it's gonna take every one of us to turn things around.

We're starting with Texas. Leave no safe ground for Republicans to run to...

I read one of Cornyn's campaign statements the other day and it said he was going to stress traditional conservative Republican values, including "a return to law and order".

A return to law and order? You mean, we are going to prosecute people who break the law? Here's hoping we start with Gonzales and Rove.

I lost a bit of my enthusiasm for Noriega reading the comments in a discussion over at The Fix here.

Is the stuff about Noreiga's link to Swift Boat Perry and the stuff about the National Guard scandal at the Laredo border true?

No.
