"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Mouton]

I wonder just how many of the outgoing senators from the dem party would be interested in backing Obongo on this extra constitutional action??

[Lake Living]

YES! Finally some real push back - I hope that includes impeachment.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!!! Thank God for these fearless Senators....including Pat Roberts!

[EXCH54FE]

These are our new Leaders;

“Republican Senators Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Pat Roberts of Kansas, Mike Crapo of Idaho, and David Vitter of Louisiana.”

[Ancesthntr]

"Therefore, we write to offer our full assistance in ensuring expeditious Senate debate and passage for a measure that preserves the power of Congress by blocking any action the president may take to violate the Constitution and unilaterally grant amnesty," the senators said.

Oh, that is RICH!! I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Reid read THAT one!

Damn, I really love how Cruz operates. Not merely telling everyone that he's not afraid to fight, but rubbing their noses in their own failure to do the right thing.

Cruz/Anyone 2016

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes! Right to business! Excellent! GO TED!

[TexasCajun]

Old man McConnell must be napping.

Someone pls inform him there is a sheriff in town.

His name is Ted Cruuuuuuuuuuz!

[jwalsh07]

Reason 999 why Roberts should have been supported by every conservative.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

[skeeter]

I’m afraid these guys are our only hope.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

There is no doubt that Obama will do this.

There is no doubt that the media will portray this as "Government Shutdown II."

Can Cruz stop Boehner and McConnell from capitulating?

[eyeamok]

Vote TED CRUZ for Speaker of the House, watch them implode

[bert]

to solve the illegal alien problem, first the presidency must be handled in some permanent manner

[rainee]

I hope they sent same letter to McConnell.

[Ray76]

These two understand that you can not win if you do not fight. The lawlessness must be confronted.

I’ve been dismayed that even after yesterday’s defeat of the Democrats there are some Freepers who have a timid cautious attitude, “wait till 2016” - we must position ourselves for 2016. Defense doesn’t put points on the scoreboard. Defense is how to lose.

Cruz and Lee have got it right.

[Usagi_yo]

I question the necessity of including the procedural threats. They should have just sent the offer to help with quick bipartisan debate on the issue. The threat is implicit. Reid knows that. Now Reid has no face saving alternative and will continue on as he has.

[Tzimisce]

...don’t even promise this if in the end you’re just going to buckle.

One of the great blessings of Obama (and Clinton) is that they made people stand up and rethink government. That Constitution is starting to look pretty good to a lot of “independents” aka mushy-middle.
