  • This is the real America

  • I think it was made to appeal to the spaghetti western watchers in Texas, which are primarily the elderly. Most of the old people I talk with loved that commercial, and they are a big voting block too.

  • Do you know what I like? The Daily Show, with John Stewart.

  • I remember when I saw this for the first time on The Daily Show. I couldn't believe at first.

  • As a Texan, I hate Cornyn. He can take his anti-separation of church and state faux-cowboy crap and shove it up his arse.

  • I'm guessing that will appeal to only cowboys. which means he'll win in Texas.

  • @JImmy4336 Hell no, not in Houston or San Antonio.

  • So...what the fuck does this have to do with an election? I feel like I should be buying tobacco.

  • Who the hell wears jackets like that? Looks like something a city slicker would wear when their playing dress up cowboy.

  • Sounds like Sam Elliott did the voice over...

  • Idiots like John Cornyn give us Texans a bad name.

  • dude that commercial was awesome.

  • I bet Texans are quick...

  • I fucking love you cenk :D

  • Well it worked for Bush.

  • Was that a jerky commercial?

  • That commercial was almost unwatchable

  • This is funny as hell. I can't believe people buy this sort of thing. Making the smaller states squirm? Gee thanks so much, as if those states who don't have a lot of representation, don't have enough problems.

  • lol @ "lesser states"

    texans harbor the same ignorant opinion about their state as idiots hold about america's status as the "best" country

  • big john looks like a big weinner.. you have to be tough for this kind of ad

  • Just think, they probably paid a couple ten grand making this video.

  • BIIIIIIIIIIIG JOOOOOOOOHN loool!

  • @leshark That's right Big Bad John! haha!! *chorus sings* BIG JOHN!!

  • i don't care what his policies are. that commercial would get my vote any day. its too good.

  • What the fuck was that? And why would you make it so long? Most people wouldn't be able to follow it all the way through.

  • HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • LMAO!

  • Is that Sam Elliott doing the "Big John"? Definitely sounds like him.

  • Didn't Chuck Norris do the ad?

  • John Cornhole

  • No one in Texas takes Texas politicians seriously.

  • Don't watch it then?

  • @vaju79 as if I didn't think of that on my own.

  • Then... don't watch it?

  • then don't watch it.

  • Then why do you watch it?

  • @mrm87 because I wanted to know what John Cornyn sounded like.

  • Big John. Big White John. Big porcelain John..

  • John Cornyn is pro-rape and pro-torture, i.e. UNAMERICAN!!!!!!

  • Pro rape Senator.

  • This is like the Beverly Hillbillies and Ben Hur put together.

  • OMFG!! i watched the video 4 times in a row just the commercial part and i still cant stop fucking laughing. What a fucking clown!!!

  • @Jermetrice Lesser states suck

  • I live in Texas and I hate John Cornyn. The man supports gang rape by government contractors! Disgusting!

  • Senator Cornyn received: $759,000 from health professionals $350,000 from insurance

     $222,000 from Pharma

    and $248,000 from lobbyists.

    CORPORATE HEALTHCARE TOOL!

  • Victims of rape deserve their day in court, but JOHN CORNYN has voted against that to protect his benefactors - KBR/Halliburton.

  • Hey JR...thats true Demo's have killed women, but we don't go blowing people in restroom in Minnesota. Maybe before you bash a beautiful person who worked for PEOPLE and not oil companies, clean up your own backyard first. It's funny how Republican, God-Fearing people like yourselves...are quick to bash those people who may be going to sit in a cloud or whatever and be judged by him. Whatever happened to salvation douchebag?

  • How can you compare the two incidents? At least the person (if you are talking about what I think you are) in Minnesota was punished. Kennedy got away with it.

    Also, where I say that Ted Kennedy went to Hell. I don't know if he did or not, but really I hope he didn't I don't wish Hell on anyone. That still does not change the fact that Kennedy killed someone and he was an all around bad man.

  • What R U boy ... a yankee ???

    Get a life son ... people do wear their hats in TEXAS

    Why dontcha do 1 of these idiot UTubes on those LYING 2 faced idiots that cannt even get a W**** across the river ???

    GROW UP & Get a LIFE !!

    PATRIOT Shar

  • I live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country among decent common sense people. My neighbor is a rancher with boots, cowboy hat & handle bar moustache. He raises horses, sheep, cattle and works sunup to sunset. He's a very good man &helps his neighbors anytime he's needed. John Cornyn represents me &my neighbor very well so if he wants to dress 'cowboy' that is fine with me. Better than a city slicker suit as far as I'm concerned. Senator Cornyn has worked hard to earn my vote.Thank you John.

  • Oh for the love of God. I like Cornyn, but this commercial is dumb as hell. Just do your job and knock it off with the commercials. At least he didn't kill a chick while driving drunk talk about embarrassing (Ted Kennedy, stupid murderer. Oh no is it too soon). The republicans still have yet to do that. Oh liberals kill me, or chicks named Mary I should say. So yeah, stupid commercial or killing people, which is worse?

  • if ur redneck ass is tryin 2 act smart and say republicans are scotch free from murder , well then mister KKK how many black folks should i put u down for???? mr i am goin 2 save the world how many innocent ppl in Iraq and Afghanistan should i put u down for??? ow i am sorry i forgot they arent white christians , so they dont count

  • You need to check your facts. The KKK was started by southern Democrats. Also Lincoln was a Republican. I haven't killed anyone much less any black people, or Arab people for that matter. Stop blaming people for things the had nothing to do with. Grow up.

  • The South is now dominated by Republicans, which happen right after LBJ signed the civil rights act. All the dixiecrats became Republican's. Lincoln and Roosevelt were both Progressive presidents.

    Both would be at odds with today's Republican party. Racism is a problem everywhere particularly in the south. And anyone who says other wise is fooling themselves. Well at least you haven't killed anyone. lol

  • Are you unaware of how often the major political parties in this nation have changed their names and ideologies? What happened to the whigs? Oh, gee, I dunno. The last political party I could really get behind: the BULL-MOOSE PARTY, bitches!!!

    HA! Party labels mean nothing! Vote for the person, not the party.

  • I think you need to check your facts on the ideologies of the two parties during the Civil War. Yes, they were called Democrats and Republicans, but their beliefs were almost completely opposite of what they are today.

  • @scizophrenicpanda

    Sure, use the typical excuse that they all use. The ideology of the dems has not changed. Just the way they go about achieving their objectives. The Democrats remain the most racist and bigoted party while disguising it in promises of fairness and equality. They simply feel that the colored people are too stupid to figure out that their policies are responsible for the problems they have today. Unfortunately the minorities fell for it.

  • @JR042083 Oh and by the way -- George Bush doesn't care about black people. Repubs are just as guilty if not more. BOTH PARTIES are stupid. The R's are a party of really bad ideas, and the D's are a party of no ideas at all.

  • Is Ted Kennedy's accident anywhere near as bad as Nixon saying 'ON TAPE' that he HAD to put Secret Service on Ted Kennedy...because of what happened to his brothers..& that he didn't want to. BUT Nixon put crooked Secret Service on him that were on Nixon's payrole...and he out and out TOLD them NOt to do their job where Kennedy was concerned. He said, "I wanna get that other Kennedy brother." Listen to the tapes sometime..If it affects you like it did ME..then you are human.

  • Okay, if that is true then that is horrible, but how does that excuse what Ted Kennedy did? It doesn't. Really, what does that have to do with the fact that Ted Kennedy caused the death of another human being?

  • @JR042083 He should be tried for murder. I'm sure a few people died of laughter from this ad.

  • Like most republicans a "first class" embarrassment for texans and people everywhere. But what republican isn't????

  • They are hard to find aren't they? I am from Texas and he has been a complete embarrasment from the time he took office. If this is a real commercial, it is pathetic.

  • Big Cenk FTW! I'd love to see that!

  • This is the biggest ASSHOLE to come out of TEXAS. He's totally against the working people and soldiers of Texas. The Son-of-a Bitch votes for sending troops off to war. However, he Votes AGAINST any G.I Bill for Vets returning from War! A Burn Unit for returning Vets had to be build by American DONATIONS, because the Republicans refused to Fund it. But true to their Hypocrisy a Republican Rep. was their to inaugerate it's opening. Big John?

  • I live in Tx and I'm ashamed we have this imbecile representing us.Rich fat-cat asshole with a hat.On wikipedia:"Cornyn was one of only 22 Senators to vote against the Post-9/11 GI Bill that expands the educational benefits for soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.WHAT A CHICKENHAWK BASTARD!!what a chickenhawk bastard."Big-Bad-John" MY ASS! he has received more money from the oil and gas industry than all but six other members of Congress.Another Fuckin Lawyer/Judge in Congress.Pussy!

  • Cornyn is a tool with no integrity...

  • This is a better ad as to why Texas should become an independent country. Haven't we all had enough of politicans that come out of Texas? I am for chiz!

  • I like john corynin because he's from texas

  • Predicting Cornyn's vote in the senate is easy. If a bill is for helping the middle class or veterans, Cornyn will vote against it. If a bill benefits the wealthy, big business, defense contractors or religious fanatics, Cornyn will vote for it. Totally predictable.

  • Wow, I really think this is the corniest commercial ever, it's completely ridiculous . It actually in a way sort of mocks him. He is an excellent senator and he's doing his job for the people very well.

  • No he's a reactionary fuckwit and you are a fool.

  • hm. Well I'm glad that you're judging me already, thanks I love you.

  • I don't love you because you are a liar, stupid and a hypocrite. Go with Jesus.

  • "I don't love you" and "Go with Jesus"?

    lol

  • a buffoon of gigantic quality, say NO is his only brain theory.

  • i liked it

    it was original, got my attention and is very catchy

    but go ahead and criticize him it seems like all this turk guy is complain anyways

  • I agree.

  • What's even more sad than this video, is that this guy was actually voted in.

  • The ad is bad, but Senator Cornyn is an excellent and influential senator. He serves the state of Texas well.

  • Little biddy, biddy, fucking tiny ass Rhode Island has 2 US Senators just like big ass Texas. I've never, absolutely never have heard of this bastard until he voted to confirm Hillary the only to be confirmed the next day. This guy is weak. The day before they vote on the stim pack he heads off to NY to talk to conservatives (About what?) instead of being there on the Senate floor. 97 voted. Kennedy was sick, and SNL ain't in yet so this dickhead goes to the Big Apple. This guy sucks!

  • can anybody else hear "big john" replaced with "cows with guns"

  • John Cornyn is was Bush YES MAN for his entire time in the Senate. This is the type of men I'm sad to say Texans produce too many of: men whose over-emphasized masculinity compensates for their fecklessness, cowardness, callowness.

    I'm embarrassed to be a Texan.

  • His outfit reminds me of Steven Seagal in "On Deadly Ground," and he's about as easy to take seriously.

  • This makes me embarrassed to be a Texan, LOL. :)

  • Or "Big Douchebag", more accurately.

  • haha Thats what I was singing in my head when the chorus came up. Big Bad Douche!

  • This guy is a douchebag. He delays the confirmation of Hillary Clinton yesterday and votes for her today. Is he implying that in 24 hours, his qualms have been satisfied? What a moron.

  • "Big John" as he likes to refer to himself is a joke. What a shame, what are the people of Texas thinking? There are no words, lame is doesn't even come close.

  • For the second time in 24 hours, this assclown calls for suspending the confirmation of an Obama nominee, only to vote to confirm them the next day. He voted in favor of snding Timothy Geithner's nomination to the full Senate for confirmation just this morning. This guy is an idiot. And to think the RNC tapped him to head the Republican Senatorial Candidates Committee. They'll be crying in 2 years about losing Ohio, Missouri, Florida and Kansas to the Dmocrats thanks to John Cornyn.

  • Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Cornyn..... all the same bunch of motherfuckers! Shame on you, fucking John!

  • He is right you know we don't need you guys to make it but we will stick around because you need us. Big John is the only one with guts to say no to Hillary for SOS if Bill Clinton has his hand out. The only one....

  • It's the whole Rev.Taggerd secretly gay so speaks out against gays thing. WELL, CORNYN is doing the whole secretly gay so he HAS TO hide it behind the sweet BUTCH cowboy hat and over done "I AM STRAIGHT" commercial. Only his other brokeback buddies call him Big John. Insecure prick.

  • Ummm...wow isn't he supposed to be in WASHINGTON doing his job? Texas is so socially backwards. Not even kidding. I live here, I know.

  • That ad was pretty bad. But listening to that hacky host guy drone on about a minute and a half too long and laugh at his own jokes may possibly be worse.

  • ...Double facepalm.

  • the whole "cowboy politician" is moronic,, its as if the politicians from Washington started walking around in top hats.

  • hiiiiiiiiiiiiick

  • just when you think texas couldnt possibly be more laughable.....

  • Only a true Texan would understand this ad. The rest of you just do not have a TEXAS PROUD attitude. Texas does carry a reputation for being the biggest and best state in the union, if not why do we get all the transplants from other states who want to be a TEXAN.

  • You don't. Texas IS one of the poorest states in the country by per capita

  • I beg to differ with you, check out the statistics for yourself. Texas is doing a lot better than just about any other state during this economic disaster. In realestate and jobs. And if you still don't get the Texas Proud thing, well, you just have to be from Texas to understand. Right Texans?

  • ok cowboys are not cool

  • That cowboy won, didn't he?

  • that's cuz texas has a bunch of hick voters

  • he looks about as big and bad as wade phillips

  • LOL @ "like really that's your outfit"

    did u see the one with the COWS

    VOTE NORIEGA!!!

  • I did not vote for Mr. Cornyn because I felt he was not the best candidate for US Senator.

  • I guess voting against the GI Bill modernization act is his way of "supporting our troops".

  • I live in San Antonio and those are our Texas symbols. While most would consider this cheesy if they lived outside of Texas or if they lived in downtown Austin, it would not be out of character for people here to dress like cowboys from time to time. Men AND women wear clothing like that proudly on weekend nights at dance halls or cultural celebrations. Its not in bad taste nor that tacky for the audience it was produced for, AKA Texans. It was obviously in good fun.

  • Well, I grew up in West Texas and they would laugh this sissy dude playing dress-up right out of town.

  • Lol, based on electoral maps, they probably vote for him too.

  • That is why we need to secede texas to Mexico where it really belongs.

  • Most of us would love to suceed from the Union, because we can support ourselves. In defense, space travel, food, power, water, they are all located in TEXAS. Texas supplies a lot to the rest of the (57) states, as Obama put it.

  • "Doin' the Lord's work for Texas"?

    That's just sick.

  • How sick that he's trying to win the hearts of Texans by using our cherished symbols.

    Vote Rick Noriega. Get this Bushite out of the Senate. Texas needs someone besides that fraud Cornyn.

  • where did they get the guy who sounds like Johnny Cash? Is Jimmy Dean still alive or is he turnin' in his grave?

  • John Cornhole = Bush's poodle

  • Yeah, the commentary is just awful

  • OK, I am a Texas, and I admit the ad was very cheesy. But YOU are pathetic. "John Cornyn is a fraud because he looks funny." Applying the same logic, Obama will ruin the country because he is black. Nonsensical, isnt it?

  • The ad is stupid, but the commentary...shit, that's just not funny at all.

  • This is probably not an ad to be broadcast to the general public, but instead an insider thing to "fire up the base".

    Notice the "Call folk, hustle, outwork our foe" and the "we got your back" talk in there.

    Elections are won by the "energized base" getting the almost-apathetic voters to bother to show up on election day. Most of the people that vote for Cornyn will never see this ad.

    And most of the people that see this ad will never vote for Cornyn, so keep forwarding that link!

  • haha, they showed clips of that long ad as a commerical. i was like "what the fuck is this?"

    And now he has all of these ads with him talking in a middle of a farm. give me a break, haha

  • John cornyn is a maverick, a real american cowboy. YEE HAAW

  • GO RICK NORIEGA!!!

    Unseat Cornyn!

  • hahah enjoy a good brew?? get 6 mo' ??

  • It's tough to watch this hilarious vid w/o the annoying commentary. Anyone have a link to the full, uninterrupted vid?

  • Young Turks make everything less funny.

  • greatest campaign commercial ever

  • Big Toooool!!!!

  • cenk makes me laugh really hard on this one

  • I kind of like thise commercial. I'd probably never vote for this guy or anything and I think the "lesser states squirm" bit is an offensive and ill-conceived thing to say but it has as a whole, it has a nice ring to it :) lol

  • Wow. Who knew Enigma was so rugged?

  • "Made lesser states squirm." What the fuck does that mean? "Yeah fuck those smaller states we're Texas, we're more important than everyone else."

  • saw it on the daily show. Didn't know if it was real...sounds like something his opponent would air lols.

  • * BIG JOHN *...lol

  • haha fuck this guy..."doing the lord's work for texas"?...probably one of those douche's who wants prayer in school

  • Nice and creative video and I'll be voting for him in November as well as McCain, so that America will be safe and we will bring troops back responsibly.

  • Post if you saw this on MYDD!

  • Man... The real "Big Bad John" is a good song too. Why did they feel the need to do this to it?

  • Fuck you, Cornyn, you bushbot fisa-voting idiot.

  • What better qualification for public office than a guy "who enjoys a good brew"! Lunacy and idiocy. This is getting to be less funny and more scary. Big John has a small penis, a small brain, and in reality would probably cower in fear if PeeWee Herman raised his hand at him. I hope Big John chokes to death on his own vomit soon.

  • Daily Show spoofed it pretty good.

  • Yep. I'm definately voting for "Big Jew"

  • Me too!

  • You are deucheshington

  • Lol. Texas style. Hilarious.

  • My goodness... if I didn't know better, I'd think Cornyn's opponent made this ad as satire...

  • I usually vote Republican but laughed so hard at this ad ... is this for real? Are the people of Texas THIS stupid? The words alone offend me and the overall song is just lame and stupid. I'd be embarassed to have this bozo as my senator!

  • Did I meet you at the town meeting of the 26the district when Mike Burgess was there to speak and the audience was given the mic?

  • I have always heard of side-splitting laughter, today I had the privelege of enjoying it. I laughed so hard, I actually couldn't breathe at one point. To think this is for real! Now the scary thing is this is a Senator?!

  • Get your facts straight!! This is not an actual ad. He and his staff put this together as a joke for his entrance into the 2008 State Republican COnvention. I was there. It actually is a spoof, get it right before you bash someone. Maybe someone should post a video about how idiotic you are! And this host is absolutely stupid, get somebody else on camera!

  • Texas is known for cowboys and John Cornyn is not one of them.

  • Don't worry! He will still win! Ha! Ha!

  • Not if I can avoid it. Ha Ha

  • Man that ad fucking rules!!! Too bad that in reality he is just another neocon George Bush type Republican.I would be interested to see who his opponent is and what impact this has and also if he wins re election.My guess is that if people in TX are anything like Jessica Simpson or Chuck Norris (both proud Texans and both proud Republicans) than he probably will win by a landslide.Then again I could be wrong.

  • holy shit this guys is fucking hilarious!!! "lets grab a brew, and get 6 mo'" ROFL

  • You said it!

  • Noriega is going to whip his ass come November.

  • Cornyn voted against the GI bill.

    gibill2008 org

  • Wow...just...wow.

  • how embarrassing for him

  • that guy's my senator. :O

  • Hahaha, okay, im embarassed to say, but I am from Texas and we do not go riding around on horses wearing THAT all day. And I am NOT going to vote for him, haha. This cracks me up.

  • You can't make this stuff up it's so funny.

  • That was by far the best political commercial I've ever seen

    i would move to Texas just to vote for "BIG BAD JOHN" the government is just a system of puppets anyways so they should all dress up & we can vote if we want a cowboy, a spaceman or pirate this year. Be cause suitz have been wining way to long.

  • Was that for real?

    If so, now I know why we're all in deep trouble. Woah.

  • I guess it would be rude to make a comment ending with "and the horse you rode in on".

  • no it wouldn't be rude, watch me do it, I LOVE YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON! :D

  • These freaks are living in a John Wayne fantasy.

    Just weird.

  • what is your fantasy....prince?

  • RICK NORIEGA for US Senate. A guy who wears a real uniform and has served his country.

    By the way that ad shows Cornyn on his horse in downtown HOUSTON in front of the Opera House....talk about a drama queen playing dress-up.

  • AHAHAHA F*** TEXAS HAHAHAHh!!!

  • Senator Cornyn needs to start doing the peoples work.

    Leave the Lords work to my pastor.
