This past Friday, Rick Noriega a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate against John Cornyn in Texas, released a YouTube video saying John Cornyn received just under $4 million from the "financial industry" and says that Cornyn should return the money "and make a $4 million down payment on the bailout."Well, if the financial industry's money is tainted like Noriega says, why did Noriega fail to say in the video that Democratic Senators also received money from the "Wall Street friends," including Hillary Clinton ($31 million), Barack Obama ($28 million), John Kerry ($19 million) and Chris Dodd ($13 million). Yet Noriega isn't asking these Senators to return this money. Hypocritical?
Cornyn's campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin responded, "Come on Rick, get with the game, this is a time for serious people. While John Cornyn is working in a bipartisan fashion to solve this financial crisis, Rick Noriega is in his basement producing angry, incoherent youtube videos."
