A number of Sen. Ted Cruz's colleagues on Tuesday expressed frustration at the Texas Republican's tactics in the fight over ObamaCare and government funding.
As Cruz prepared to speak for hours on the Senate floor to try to delay work on the government-funding measure, many fellow GOP senators exited a conference meeting said they thought his strategy would backfire on their party.

RINOs all.
ohhh poor poor Rinos, they are mad... Boo freakin hoo. You had your chance to do something ... step aside
If they’d do what WE THE PEOPLE want, they would be in there helping him defund obamacare. RINOs!
I'm a big Cruz fan but I'm a bit mystified by his strategy here. What does delay accomplish? It seems to me that a quick vote that:
1. Puts the Dems on record as willing shut down the government rather than give up their precious Obamacare and
2. Gives the House a few days to offer up a "compromise" that still guts Obamacare would be the obvious strategy.
What am I missing here?
Thanks for the post. I tweeted it with the headline - Within Country, Frustration With Senate ;)
Thank You Lord, for Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
And I can’t believe it, but for Marco Rubio, even though I am still thinkin’ he is trying to make folks forget about his illegals stance...
May God bless!

This is not “within the senate” -—it’s within RINOVILLE.
Who gives a rats ass what a bunch Rinos think.
Well, maybe they can defend their position for 16 hours.
They are done. When they and their supporting press realize that is my certain.
Just my opinion/thoughts, but I think he is trying to give voice to all of us out here who are fed up to the teeth with the ever growing government behemoth, and “our” representatives who represent no one, but themselves.
I think he is trying to reach out and shake to waking, the American spirit, and I pray that his efforts are not in vain.
May God keep watch FRiend, over us all.
If they are frustrated with Ted they cannot imagine how frustrated and angry we in the base is with them.
The Gerald Ford wing of the GOP showing they’re out of touch with taxpayers.

Even my kids listened to him for a while. He is in his 16th hour up there.
Find out from him what he wants.
You trust the press to present the case?
Senator Cornyn and his staff have taken their office phones of the hooks so they can avoid hearing from their consituents. McConnell is doing the same thing. Cowards!
