I could be a lot more hateful about John Cornyn, who is repugnant to me and an all-around force for evil. For now, I'll just stick to the bare facts.

If Dick Cheney wrote this letter, a big chunk of HN would have no trouble identifying the problem. But very few HN'ers pay enough attention to national politics to understand that John Cornyn is one of the Senate's answers to Dick Cheney.

You're giving "your side" a bad name. You're heading into self-parody.

Mitt Romney and his sons once rescued a family from drowning when the family's boat sunk on a lake. I imagine you could find some ulterior evil motive in that.

I wouldn't dream of insulting Mitt Romney by comparing him to John Cornyn.
