Senator John Cornyn another politician that came into office with George W. More than any member of Congress, the former state Supreme Court justice and attorney general has tied his political fortunes to his fellow Texan at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Last year, he voted with Bush 90.5 percent of the time, more than any other U.S. senator, according to Congressional Quarterly. And their personal ties stretch back to Texas, to a shared culture and history, long before Bush set his eyes upon the White House.
Cornyn’s voting record indicates that he has not representing the people of Texas. Cornyn is rated 100% by the US Chamber of Commerce, proving a pro-business voting record. He rated 27% by the National Education Association, indicating anti-public education votes.
Despite being in the Senate only one term, Cornyn is the fifth highest recipient of oil money. Cornyn has taken $830,725 from big oil & he has taken $1,144,035 in donations from the energy industry as a whole. Cornyn voted against repealing taxpayer funded giveaways to oil companies.
He voted against a much needed new GI Bill to expand education for veterans. The Bill passed anyway. Cornyn voted against an amendment that would provide a permanent expansion of education benefits for post-Sept. 11 veterans, temporarily extend unemployment insurance benefits, and place a moratorium through March 2009 on seven Medicaid regulations proposed by the administration.
He came in with Bush vote him out with Bush.
