Scumbag Reid wants Cruz to yield 15 minutes for John McCain.
I think there was some “agreement” that Senator Cruz would give up the floor at 1300 Eastern...
And prayers.
I am proud of him. If the GOP really wants to win the Senate and keep the House next year, they will really bring this debate on Obamacare to the public. Shock the nation and honor Senator Cruze. Don’t vote for Cloture.
Cruz says he’s planning on speaking until noon. Six more minutes he just said. Go, Cruz, Go!! God bless!
RE: Let’s Give Sen Ted Cruz A Standing O
Is he still standing as of this writing?
I’ve tried to get to Cruz’s office; all phones are tied up in every office- Dallas, Austin and D.C. I wanted to urge the staff to deliver him a bottle of 5 Hour Energy and a full copy of the Health Care Bill to read so that Senators can hear it for the first time.
God Bless Sen. Cruz for standing up for the American people and for what is right.
“Let’s Give Sen Ted Cruz A Standing O”
Yes sir, Thank God for real men like Senator Cruz.
Thank you, Senator Cruz! God bless!!
As a veteran I salute you senator Cruz. The house republicans are the ones that should be giving you a standing ovation. The middle class has been destroyed out here, all the time while watching corrupt government bureaucrats getting to retire with $50,000 dollar a year pensions instead of doing prison time. Tell me how the RICO act doesn’t apply to these people.
I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he has used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve sent my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.

WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
Among others, Thomas Jefferson warned that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency, to wit:
“When the servants if the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that un-backed currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw this problem ahead:
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.
