Rush Limbaugh and Clear Channel Communications Lowry Mays, who is McCaul's father-in-law, will host a fundraiser for Mike McCaul in San Antonio next month.
The McCaul campaign is doing its pathetic best to distance McCaul from Limbaugh even though the hate-filled commentator will be raising money for the congressman.
Jack Ladd, McCaul’s campaign spokesman, said, “Just because Rush Limbaugh is attending a fundraiser for Michael doesn’t mean they agree on every issue and we believe Michael’s voting record speaks for itself.”
Asked to name an issue on which they disagree, Ladd repeated, “I think Michael’s voting record speaks for itself.”
Mike McCaul's record does speak for itself. He puts the special interests above the people's interests and continues the pay-to-play politics he learned from Tom DeLay.
The junior Congressman From Clear Channel has been notably silent during the uproar over rightwing talk show host Rush Limbaugh's attack on U.S. troops who oppose the White House's misadventure in Iraq as "phony soldiers."
Now Rep. McCaul's brother-in-law, the CEO of the company that broadcast Limbaugh's diatribe, is defending the indefensible.
It's bad enough that John Cornyn showed a great inability to tell the truth when it came to Moveon.org's accurate portrayal of Gen. David Petraeus' testimony before Congress.
Now, we find out that Cornyn couldn't get straight the originator of the phrase "General Betray Us" that got him so upset. The originator WASN'T Moveon.org, it was RUSH LIMBAUGH.

Ok, cover the kiddie's eyes - this gets nasty really quick.
Rush Limpballs Limbaugh was caught, er-um, red-handed with illegal Viagra. (See, I told you it was nasty!) This is while he is still on probation for his doctor-shopping spree in 2003 when he became addicted (an ironic word for a Viagra story) to painkillers.
Now the Republican War on Drugs has come home to roost in Texas.
Take a look at star Republican DA Rick Roach. The Roach-ster built a reputation as a hard-ass on drug cases. Guess what? He's a hard-core drug addict!
Hey, when the Republicans dreamed up this War on Drugs thing, they never said they were fighting on our side, did they? No. They didn't. And anyway, they had their fingers crossed.
