Just got a phone call from the "Center for the American Future"

Pre-recorded message asking me if I found it offensive that John Cornyn told Ted Cruz to sit down and shut up and also asked me if I knew that John Cornyn voted to fund Obamacare. No chance to respond, it just threw those two items out there and said, "Paid for by The Center for the American Future" and disconnected.

A tiny bit of googling revealed that this group is run by someone who used to work for Steve Stockman. Of course it's an independent group that now has no connection whatsoever to Steve Stockman, cough, cough.

I saw an article a couple days ago that said Cornyn's polling is so low he might have to do a runoff election. *snerk*

I did not know know that Stockman had any money for robocalls or push polls.

I am still hoping that Cornyn has to face someone in a run off.

Using a tape recorder/player on the dining room table. I wonder if his campaign office ever got approved for use again.
