In an address to the Texas Association of Broadcasters, Rick Norriega again addressed the issue of what he characterizes as Cornyn’s “blank check” and “rubber stamp” endorsement of Bush policies.
James Shannon, writing for The Examiner Online provided details on a bill of particulars from the Noriega campaign which illustrate a few of Noriega's profound differences with Cornyn:

I have started a series of articles taking a close look at the U.S. economy. Today's article examines the public debt of the United States, how much we owe, who chareged the debt to our account, and what it means to you, me, our kids,... each citizen of our country.
