John Cornyn represents everything big. Big Business, big oil and most importantly himself Big John.
If you like Big - Big John is your man.
Big John also likes big corruption. Karl Rove the Big Bad Evil Genius held a fundraiser for him today in El Paso
Oh there is a big connection between Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed and Big John.
This guy is just big time.

"We sent him to Washington for the Really Big Show"
- We got an email from the Noriega campaign this afternoon regarding the Rove fundraiser in El Paso
They reminded us of Cornyn's involvement in a Casino closing located near today's meeting spot El Paso, Texas.
Abramoff and Scanlon had many Indian gaming clients, including the Tigua Ysleta de Sur Pueblo, as the Tigua are known. The lobbyists are at the center of a fraud and fundraising scandal that has embroiled DeLay.
Cornyn, elected senator in 2002, was supported in his anti-Speaking Rock effort by a grassroots campaign led by conservative Christian lobbyist Ralph Reed, who organized pastors around the state to oppose gaming and back the attorney general.
Senate investigators discovered Abramoff hired Reed to block gaming expansion in Texas and Louisiana _ and the $4 million that Reed was paid actually came from Abramoff's Indian gaming clients.
Then, Abramoff and Scanlon secured the Tigua as a client on the day the casino was closed and charged them $4.2 million for a campaign to reopen it through federal legislation.
That's just the way to do business, we ain't got no problem with that. Hell, send Big John a campaign contribution. Just talk about it and deny it.
