I almost expected you to say something like this, like a good little Concern Troll.

Cruz has been a good man, but there is a time to pick your fights. He filibustered, he did all that he could reasonably do.

RightwardHo is a stool pigeon of the left. Get this filth off of Free Republic.

You agree with me.

Mark Levin referenced this piece in a tweet, and asked..."Where do we go from here?"


In her famous words, we 'Buck up or get out of the truck!"
I think that means, we support the GOOD GUYS!

I think you are wrong about Ted Cruz and about whether he should be filibustering right now.

And yet ANOTHER person sees RightwardHo as the troll he is. Waiting for the moderators to catch up.

I like that he called him not only the 'smartest'.

.....but one of 'the most principled law students to EVER have gone through Harvard.'

THIS is who we are getting to know.....a principled man....(rare in DC)

Why? All he dd was make noise that accomplished nothing. If I just want someone who can yell I’ll vote for the Yorkie next door. Ted Cruz is a yapper, nothing more.

Wow, you actually are using outright Dem-talking-points.

I won't bother to explain what Cruz accomplished, not to a troll like you.

How right you are. Without Cruz we could have surrendered 2 weeks ago like we have on everything else. The only thing Cruz did was shine the light on the liberal roaches that infest the republican party and they are just mad.

In a way Cruz has hastened the coming civil war in the republican party which is a good thing as the way it is currently being ran it will never win another national election. Whey vote for liberal lite when you can have the real thing by voting (D).

There is not opposition party to the democrats currently. The GOP has essentially adopted the “me too only a little cheaper” approach, where is the choice here? There is none.

100% agree.

Now we have Freepers going Peter King on the most conservative guy in the whole damn senate. Nice circular firing squad guys.

All he could have done would be delay it. This fight was dead the moment the RINOS refused to back Cruz’ plan.
A disgrace that people would try to throw this guy under the bus. If this is the thanks he gets, its no wonder nobody ever puts their neck on the line.

EXATLY! What did the GOP get? MORE regulation? MORE IRS involvement? What GOP fool thought that one up?

What can Cruz do in the Senate?? He’s not the House majority leader.

I will tell you the single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here. I mean, we don't even talk about how to win a fight. There's no discussion. We talk about, "Hey, let's get a show vote so we can go tell our constituents we're doing something." But I promise you, Rush, if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you'd be in therapy for a month ... but they've been here a long time, and they're beaten down, and they don't believe we can win. They don't believe it can happen, and the answer they say on every issue is, "No, we can't do it. We can't do it."

'Tis better to have tried in vain, Sincerely striving for a goal, Than to have lived upon the plain An idle and a timid soul.

'Tis better to have fought and spent
Your courage, missing all applause,
Than to have lived in smug content
And never ventured for a cause.

For those who try and fail may be
The founders of a better day;
Though never theirs the victory,
From them shall others learn the way.
... Edgar Guest

Viva Senator Ted Cruz!

I think he called him, “one of the smartest.”
I’m listening to Rush right now to hear it again.
