Slow down there Hoss, it isn't DEM vs GOP it is Libs vs. Conservatives. The problem is there are a lot of Libs with a GOP label who are just as big a problem as Libs with a Democrat label.
Until you figure that out YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM
Just noticed that they took this post off the side bar.
On the other hand, the Republican establishment is fighting like the French - wavering, timid, falling back, divided, always looking for another hill to surrender and any excuse to retreat so they can survive to fight another day. They're not sure what their cause is except for their diminishing army to make it to their next payday - all the while chastising their few brave men who want to fight.
If America fought WWII like the GOP is fighting the Democrats, we would all be saying our Pledge of Allegiance with a "Sieg Heil!" today...
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Freeper beware, this is a High-Volume Ping List!
"Any Republican who votes for cloture is voting to fund Obamacare."
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Today, the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) called on Senate Republicans to oppose cloture on Harry Reid's attempt to fund Obamacare with a simple majority.
SCF Executive Director, Matt Hoskins, made the following statement:
"Americans won a major victory today when the House passed legislation to fund the government without funding Obamacare, but now the debate shifts to the Senate where Harry Reid and the Democrats will try to fund Obamacare. The Democrats have a plan to fund Obamacare, but Republicans can stop it if they stick together.
"Harry Reid needs 60 votes to approve his plan to fund Obamacare. If 41 Republicans stand strong and oppose cloture, they can defeat Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. However, if Republicans waffle and vote for cloture, it will grease the skids for Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. It's pretty simple — any Republican who votes for cloture is voting to fund Obamacare.
"This is a critical test for Senate Republicans and especially for Mitch McConnell, the Republican Leader. It's time for Mitch McConnell to show some leadership and deliver the 41 votes needed to defeat cloture on Harry Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. Republicans like to say they are against Obamacare, but now is the time to prove it. Now is when it matters."
Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) is an independent, grassroots organization that advocates for conservative policies in Washington and helps elect true conservative leaders to the United States Senate.
Run, Ted, run!
“The attack of the neo-con liberals from their Troskyite mouthpiece, the National Review.”
Exactly.
Backstabbers, who don’t want to be named and then face Ted, Sarah, the Tea Party and the rest of us who want to see Obozo Care buried.
Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
The majority of Americans WANT the government shutdown. There’s a generalized fear of Big Brother and it’s creeping into the minds of even the LIV’s. The NSA’s eavesdropping on Social Media has turned LIV’s heads.
“Activists love him, but leadership staffers and many of his colleagues can’t stand him,,,,”
Leadership staffers? = Little Eichmans.
“If Cruz doesn’t help us in the Senate to pass a defunding bill, we’ll end up having to pass a normal CR,”
That’s was the plan all along. Pass one vote for show, then the CR funding Obamacare the way they planned all along.
If Cruz is an amateur, I hope we can vote in more of them. As far as making Republicans look weak, they can’t blame Cruz — they expose their weakness daily and have only their RINO ways to blame.
I expect that Senator Cruz LOVES THIS analogy and couldn't have come up with a better one himself! These Senators of the OLD party are so detached from "We The People" that they don't see how much a badge of honor they have just placed upon Senator Cruz. (and I would love to know which Senator said it!)
Viva Ted Cruz!
AMEN!!!! There should be a barage of ads and news conferences saying exactly that.
go Ted Cruz. if you have a GOPe rep, you have a golden opportunity. now is the time. tell them to stand firm. no further funding for obamacare. period.
the rest of us can call boehner, again.
Which annoys the CRAP out of me.
WHY oh WHY can’t the Republidiots not make the case to the grifters that “when Obama causes our economy to fall by spending us into oblivion, your checks will STOP”????!!!!
Every Senator, members of their staff and sundry “government workers” will still get their Cadillac insurance plans whether this fight is won or lost. How DARE they accuse or vent at someone, a Senator, who is willing to be with the people who are left UNREPRESENTED so that the oligarchs can throw games and circuses for the masses.
These Senators will still have the best health care anywhere and made sure to carve out a slice of the pie solely for themselves and too bad for those who elected them!
I agree with you. I also think that in the end he will win them over.
