Obviously he's being totally disingenuous and trying to deceive the gullible.

The big lie technique always works, and the media will never call him out for lying and being an idiot and blatantly making up stuff, so what's the downside risk for him?

"...he's just popping off on a subject he doesn't understand, or he's trying to deceive anyone listening."

Steve, I think I would have to change that OR to an AND. He's doing both.

"...he's just popping off on a subject he doesn't understand, and he's trying to deceive anyone listening."

This is why Bush rammed his legislation through Congress sight unseen. These jokers are too stupid to understand the policy nuances. Ideology is all they can handle.

By "entitlement program" he's referring to the subsidies.

Hey, cut the guy a break- it's a two THOUSAND page bill!

Never mind it is printed in Senior Citizen's 36pt type, on one side. A Republican senator yesterday informed us that it weighed 21 pounds! Why a guy could get a hernia, just trying to pick it up. . .

No doubt Sen. Cornyn just wants Obama to keep his government hands off of Medicare.

Sigh,

Well, you're all just too kind and avoiding stating the obvious. The man's one of 2 senators (the other is forgettable)from the great State of Texas where being an ignoramus is something one aspires to.

There is one tried and true axiom that applies to all Texas politicians: "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good lie". Cornyn is a graduate of that rethuglican medrassa that gave us George I,GeorgeII, DeLay, Hutchinson, Perry, Rove,Archer...the list goes on.

Steve, it's very simple: Cornyn's for entitlement programs and he's absolutely against them.

Yep, he's the typical Texas politician. I was going to say Republican Texas politician but we've had our share of crazy Dems too.
We've had some great ones also though. I find salvation in the words of, yes, Molly Ivins again: "The Populist movement was born in the Texas Hill Country, as genuinely democratic an uprising as this country has ever known. It produced legendary politicians for generations, including Ralph Yarborough, Sam Rayburn, Lyndon and even into the 1990s, with Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower. I think it is not gone, but only sleeping.
As Willie Nelson sings, if we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane. This is our redeeming social value and perhaps our one gift to progressives outside our borders. We do laugh. We have no choice. We have to have fun while trying to stave off the forces of darkness because we hardly ever win, so it's the only fun we get to have. We find beer and imagination helpful."
So bring out the beer gang and let's laugh our heads off.

whichwitch is right about the progressive nature of some Texas politicians in the past--the problem is that it's in the past, and Texas voters have proven themselves incapable of voting for anyone intelligent today. Cornyn is the walking talking exemplar of a saying also current in Texas: "He's dumb as a box of rocks."

i.e. Georgie Boy:"Like a rock. Only dumber"

If Medicare is really insolvent to the tune of "tens of trillions of dollars," a mere half a trillion in cuts won't amount to more than a fly-speck.

Hoist with their own canard, LOL.

Jimmy Buffet, not Willie Nelson.
