More from the Stockman funny pages

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Dear fellow Texan,

John Cornyn’s dirty campaign has sunk to a new low.

Cornyn is now attacking me for spending every penny I had to take care of my Alzheimer’s-stricken father, a World War II veteran.

“Rep. Steve Stockman has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy,” Cornyn spokesperson Drew Brandewie laughed and chuckled in a mocking public statement.

I’m stunned.

That’s sick.

You see, I was forced to declare bankruptcy in 2002 after spending everything I had to take care of my ailing and elderly father. Unlike Cornyn, I’ve never been wealthy.

And apparently John Cornyn thinks that’s funny.

My dad, John Stockman, was a World War II veteran who served our country fighting the Nazis.

Tragically, Dad spent the last eight years of his life fighting another enemy: Alzheimer’s disease.

I moved Dad into my own home and cared for him at my own expense until we had to move him into a Texas Veteran Administration home.

I took on Dad’s overwhelming medical bills and lost my small fiber optics business in the process.

Not being wealthy like Cornyn, the expense of taking care of Dad ultimately forced me to declare bankruptcy in 2002.

And John Cornyn thinks that’s funny.

But I would do it all over again for Dad.

I’m sure you would for your Dad, too.

Dad raised me with the morals and convictions I have today, and I’d gladly go bankrupt again to take care him.

It’s really a shame John Cornyn is using my personal tragedy for his personal punch line.

I know you don’t support Cornyn’s brand of filthy attacks like this.

I’ve already had to sue a Cornyn PAC for running ads against me that are completely false.

You’ve probably seen these entirely fake ads.

Court records call the Cornyn PAC ads “some of the most outrageous, malicious defamation ever recorded.”

And now John Cornyn’s campaign is mocking me for taking care of Dad, even when it forced me into bankruptcy?

John Cornyn is desperate because Republicans have rejected him for voting to support Obamacare and amnesty, then lying to you about it.

Polls show he may not win his March 4 Republican primary against me.

So Cornyn has resorted to dirty tricks and outright lies, which court records call “some of the most outrageous, malicious defamation ever recorded.”

And now he’s publicly mocking me for being willing to bankrupt myself to take care of my Dad.

You deserve to know the truth. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter to you.

Warmest wishes,

Congressman Steve Stockman
Conservative Republican for U.S. Senate

P.S. John Cornyn’s dirty campaign has sunk to a new low – mocking me for taking care of my Alzheimer’s-stricken, World War II veteran father even when it bankrupted me.

This, after I was forced to sue a Cornyn PAC for running dirty ads that outright lied about me. Court records call the Cornyn PAC ads “some of the most outrageous, malicious defamation ever recorded.”

You see, Cornyn is desperate. Republicans have rejected him for voting to support Obamacare and amnesty, then lying to you about it in more dirty ads. Polls show Cornyn may not win his March 4 Republican primary against me.

So Cornyn has resorted to dirty tricks, outrights lies and even mocking me for taking care of my Dad. Texas deserves better.
