We begin with the new Stockman for Senate website on which the candidate posted what can only be described as an anti-Cornyn fundraising manifesto — practically a laundry list of incoherent demands, with each sentence as its own standalone thought, not unlike his wacky Twitter feed.

Texas should reject all federal assistance because, after all, the states can handle it, can’t they?… Read More Tea Party Tenther Steve Stockman Demands FEMA Assistance
