Cruz Reads 'Green Eggs and Ham' During ObamaCare Speech
fox ^ | 9/24/13 | fox

During Senator Ted Cruz's marathon speech in support of defunding ObamaCare, he took a break around 8:00 p.m. ET to read Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham.”

When he finished reading the children’s book on the Senate floor, he told his daughters it was bedtime and that he'd be home soon to read to them in person. Then, he proceeded to tell members of Congress how the book relates to the president’s health care law.

For three and a half years, Cruz said, President Obama and the Democrats told the American people to just try ObamaCare.

I think that’s pretty cool. The lib talking heads are already mindlessly mocking him for it.

Perhaps he can read all 2500 pages of the bill in question.

They cannot fathom the damage that they are causing and as usual look to put the blame on the GOP, insurance companies, everyone but themselves, who by the way were in the power seat when this monstrosity was passed. San Fran Nan saying that ‘it has to be passed before we know what’s in it’ should madden every American. It just meant that they didn’t want people to know all the crap that was crammed in at the last minute to get it to pass. Bravo to Ted Cruz!!!! Keep up the fight!

He ought to read “Gone With The Wind” in its entirety like Bob Hope’s senator character did in “Louisiana Purchase”.

Takeaway line: “Obamacare. I do not want it in a car, I do not want it in a jar.”

Read ‘em the Bible. Particularly the part about not stealing. They seem to have lost their way and forgotten what real morality is.

What Cruz needs to read is the name of every Senator who voted for Obamacare the first time. Then he can follow up with the name of every Rep who voted for Obamacare.

Then he should read the companies and numbers of those cut back to part-time or laid off due to Obamacare. And he should specify whose states those jobs were lost in, name names.

Then he should name all the jerks sitting on the death panels, their duties, their qualifications, and their motives - to cut costs period.

That should take 24 hrs.

Red and blue make purple. Purple is the color of royalty. Republican and Democrat Monarchy. Monarchy that pretend to give us a choice by dividing itself into its conjunctive colors.

It’s amazing how it all fits together, isn’t it? I’m not saying this is fact, I’m just saying it’s a very interesting insight. And we all know the party system is just an illusion to keep us distracted from the Puppeteers manipulating the tides from on high. The matrix is cracking and we are starting to see the truth. Cruz must not take theblue or red pill for as long as he can. Then the matrix will fail and we will be free. Do not take either pill Ted, it’s a trap!

I do not want Obamacare in a car,
I do not want it in a bar.
I do not like it in my bed.
I do not want it on my head.
No thank you Uncle Sam.

I wonder if liberals will be as impressed as they were with Wendy from Texas?

It makes more sense than obama's Julia cartoon character.

And the dems will go home and read their kids "Heather Has Two Mommies."

I forget the ending.

Vince gets killed and his best friend marries Greta, the circus dwarf.

I think... or that was another book...
