Cruz Fights Alone to Stop Senate from Funding Planned Parenthood and Iran Nuclear Deal
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/29/15 | Jerry A. Kane

Posted on 09/29/2015 3:18:23 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

The whole world's people are becoming mass-produced, programmed, numbered, insensate things...

Last night Ted Cruz couldn’t get his Republican Senate colleagues to back his proposed amendment to stop funding Planned Parenthood for one year and to prevent the Obama administration from using funds to implement the Iran nuclear deal until Congress can examine the additional agreements or “side deals” between the terrorist state and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“You know, Obama has negotiated a catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran. Republican leadership goes on television all the time and rightly says this is a catastrophic deal. I would suggest that if we actually believed the words that are coming out of their mouths, then we should be willing to use any and all constitutional authorities,” Cruz said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tore a page from former Democrat Leader Harry Reid’s playbook and “filled the tree” with amendments and blocked Cruz from offering his amendment during a voice vote.

There’s only one guy in the Senate speaking the truth: Ted Cruz.

Well we tried warning people. People chose lesser evil.

When we get nuked, when Israel gets nuked, Those same people will be screaming about it. And it’s their responsibility it happened. they demanded these liberals in GOP-face.

All on them. Every death. This could have been stopped years ago. But no. They had to have their liberals no matter what. And so Ted stood alone.

Anytime Cruz's name comes up in the media heads are shaking and eyes are rolling, and those are the so-called Republicans.

Let me just say that we know where his heart is at.

The GOPe is GTH.

“He has a long history of being a punk little bitch sitting on the side taking pot shots at real leaders.”

In the interest of truth I think we all know well except for you that that’s not true. :-)

Just finished listening. WOW......no teleprompters either for 1 hour. Ripping the leadership over and over.

Just sent it out to all my friends and relatives. Telling them that a President is elected for 4 to 8 years, the least we can do is listen for just 1 hour to what a real president sounds like...and to pass it on to their friends....

I suspect many of them will be just to lazy, don't have time now, etc.,etc.,etc.....then WHINE when we get another Obama.

I wish I could make every American sit down, shut up, and listen to that speech.

I email the link to all the people in my address book. A very large amount of voters are just now becoming aware of Cruz.
