Cornyn skips stimulus vote to meet with "prominent media conservatives"
"Glenn Thrush says the question from the Senate floor this evening was "where was Cornyn," as the Texas Republican was the only senator to miss the crucial cloture vote on the stimulus package.

The answer: He was at a New York gathering of prominent media conservatives and Wall Street Republican donors"

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0209/Cornyns_absence.html

So no surprise there, we all know Cornyn is a slimeball, who would rather see America go down that admit his stale ideology is bankrupt, but what I want to to know is who exactly are these "prominent media conservatives".

What media outlets do they represent? is it media coming into my house (I will take care of that). Are they working to subvert President Obama? Are they working COVERTLY to subvert my president" Do they care that America is suffering? Are these the same ones who insist on 2 pukes for every l dem on every cable show? Does their ideology include the elimination of the New Deal and the middle class? This is serious stuff. Just who are the "prominent media conservatives"? I want to know.

2. The other story: That Ted Kennedy showed up to give Dems an insurance vote.
Note to the American public:

-Democrats show up
-Republicans don't

Jot that down.

5. true, but I want to know who was at the meeting
My husbands job was eliminated in July, he has been sending out resumes to beat the band, with no results. I was laid off this past January. Things are dire in my household. This is not a joke and I want to know who is working against me.
