Cornyn files for re-election, says Republicans must be adults in the room

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn preached the gospel of a big-tent GOP at a Friday rally for his re-election, saying Republicans must prove to voters that they can govern like “responsible adults.”

Cornyn has been bedeviled by some tea party activists who say he suffers in comparison to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who played a key role in the government shutdown as he urged an end to funding for the federal health care law.

The tactics championed by Cruz have divided Republicans, with some GOP leaders fearing a voter backlash.

Cornyn, joined by Gov. Rick Perry at a rally at Scholz Garten before filing his re-election paperwork, said the GOP must be the party of the late former president Ronald Reagan, who considered people allies if they agreed with him 80 percent of the time.

1. "Republicans must be adults in the room"?

When are they going to try doing that? Are they going to be any better at that than being "The Party of Personal Responsibility"?

The Republican theme song for its older voters ought to be "Call Me Irresponsible."
