McConnell and Cornyn refused to lead or fight and Cruz and Lee stepped into the breach! And oula! Results! And democrat screaming! There are no smiles on Chuck Schumer's face lately.

Cruz has some serious backbone. He’s definitely a top consideration for the 2016 GOP Nomination. As for “Not being born in America”? B. Hussein showed us all that not being born in the US or even liking the US is a prerequisite requirement.

At last, a LEADER! Thank God for Ted Cruz! We are praying for him as the ungodly attack him 24/7. God is a majority of One.

Senate Leader Cruz has a nice ring to it. A Republican with a spine is very hard to find outside the Tea Party.

Pray America is Waking Up

“They don’t trust us, as it is,” he added. “And I think that did us disservice.”

Trust is earned.

A great strategy.... time to send over a CLEAN bill to fund the WWII memorial. Just fund government one piece at a time if necessary.

The language from senate democrats suggest they are seriously afraid of this strategy.
I think (for a change) they have been outplayed. And truthfully I would have bet money that Boehner would cave up until Cruz spoke for 21 hours. At that point the pressure on the GOP House leadership was enormous. Plus it gave the right in the House the encouragement and cover it needed.
It’s a beautiful thing to see.
And they particularly are upset that it has been spearheaded by the junior senator from Texas and “TEA party Republicans” in the House.
The same old racket that has been used for decades appears to be listing its grip

Pelosi was crying that this is ‘the Tea Party shutdown’.

LOL

Thanks for the empowerment, Nancy. I didn’t realize we of the Tea Party persuasion has that much power in ‘this’ Washington.

Since there is not an apparent requirement that the House speaker be a member of that body, it would be a real kicker if the Pubbies elected 'Senator' Cruz as the next speaker.

Oh, WOW. Imagine the moans and groans from the Dems, the Media, and the GOP-elites.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

And so far as I can see, Cruz is about the ONLY leader left in the GOP.

Cruz gets the publicity. These piecemeal CR’s would never work without that. House Republicans should leverage it instead of belly-aching. The LSM jumps on the belly-aching. Keep the movement going.

They simply don’t understand leadership from principle, do they?

Obamacare is “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.”

Obamacare has nothing to do with care, health or medical treatment.

Obamacare has everything to do with a mandatory insurance that everyone must buy at the point of the Federal gun.

Obamacare Medical Insurance premiums are under the control of the IRS.

These insurance premiums can be raised every year by the IRS with no involvement by Congress.

Thus, all the present and future Democrat rulers have to do is tell the IRS how much taxpayer dollars need to be forcefully extracted from the taxpayers, and the IRS will extract the money for them.

Hence, Obamacare Insurance is “ taxation without representation” that Traitor John Roberts of THE NINE SUPREMES has ruled it to be above the control of the US Congress, and it will stay until Obamacare is ABOLISHED!
