But Cruz also conceded that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "has the votes" in the Senate to strip the defunding language from the continuing-resolution bill (meaning that the Senate could never pass the defunding bill).
This getting ugly.

How certain are we that Harry has the votes. Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Begich in Alaska. Do these people want to vote for this?

I totally disagree with making this the issue, but if Ted Cruz is willing to grab this issue and run with it, I’ll back him 100%.
Go Ted.
Now about our trade deficit...
To: Orange1998
There is nothing to concede. It’s a simply a stark reality and no one has ever thought otherwise.

If the rules are followed then the House controls the purse strings. But we know how Boner thinks.

Messy is standing before a death panel picked by Big Bro and Big Sis or the IRS and begging for your life or the life of your family. That’s messy like the Gestapo standing in front of a boxcar and deciding who went to forced labor and who went to Auschwitz!
At what point, do We The People find their spine, guts, and gonads to stand up and demand that we be heard. This is about our future and our children and grandchildren’s future????

He spoke the truth and is being attacked?
To: SoFloFreeper
Sure in politics the truth is taboo. Look what it did to Ron Paul.
To: SoFloFreeper
He spoke the truth and is being attacked? Well yeah, it's DC.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Why do Repubs let their dirty laundry get aired to the public via the "news" media? When will they ever learn the US media will never like them, much less be on their side?

I have a large supply of BS meters. But I hate the number of them being broken.

Your comment intrigues me (seriously and with no disrespect intended). I love political strategy and would genuinely like to hear what issue you would use to control the political narrative. Thanks in advance!

Maybe it’s time for a filibuster.
