U.S. Senate candidate Dwayne Stovall stole some attention Thursday from Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) in the Republican primary against Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
In a new ad, Stovall sits in the bed of a pick-up truck with a golden retriever and equates Cornyn with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
"As a U.S. senator from Texas, you vote for Texans, you don't stab her in the back by voting for cloture on Obamacare. You don't enslave it's children with unconstitutional laws and overwhelming debt. And you certainly don't do all this to please some guy that looks and fights like a turtle," Stovall says.
McConnell and Cornyn came under fire from conservatives for voting Wednesday to move forward legislation increasing the nations borrowing limit.

On the dark side, Cornyn's primary opponents show him the love

The other interesting thing that came from Cornyn's opponents was this VD gift (or is that gif):

I wonder if he ever lets the dog ride inside the truck?

assuming Cornyn doesn't lose the June GOP primary to this freak.
