The election of Kaine to the Senate has ruined the last vestige of respect I had for the state of Virginia. The Virginia I knew would not have elected that asshat

Praying for Cruz to stand strong. For the Lord to guide his words and not be tricked or entrapped by the sneaky smarmy words of Kaine trying to entrap him. Please Lord, send some ‘Aaron’s ‘ to hold his arms up and support him as he stands for what is right.

I am praying for Cruz to stay awake because

Now Kaine is encouraging Cruz to introduce reform ideas on healthcare.

Kaine tries to come across as "wanting to work together to tweak ACA." This lying POS knows quite clearly that single-payer is the single goal of ALL rats in Congress.

I despise this liar.

I keep hearing that lie about Repubs making 2012 about Obama care. It's a LIE.
They're trying to legitimatize Obamacare to end debate on removing the farce.


Yeah, Cruz really put that one to bed. The problem was with Romney Care having been an issue carried over from the primary, the GOP tried to keep Obamacare off the table and made a huge mistake in my opinion.

To everyone, keep the pressure on your representatives. When I tried calling Mike Crapo’s office the message box was full and I had to email him. So people are definitely riled. I'll try again tomorrow.

No democrip, especially an asshat like Kaine, will address the special exception crap little barry bastard boy has given to those who will be loayal to democrips, nor will they actually address the special exemption the Congress Critters demanded from little barry so they wouldn’t have to have the same substandard healthcare as the peons they rule over.

I hope Cruz asks Kaine, "How many last questions are you going to ask?"

Mine were basically, “Where the hell are you?”

Since one of mine is Menendez, I expect no response...

Reading through these comments is depressing. No wonder they almost always beat us at political gamesmanship. When our side actually shows up and plays hard (like today), a sizable number of conservatives start eating their own. “Cruz is just showboating” “Paul is backstabbing him” “None of it matters anyway”. Hell, we finally have a handful of Senators that will go around the media, and right to the American people.

People keep wanting somebody to “stand up”. Well, Ted Cruz is literally standing up, not only to Obama, but to too many in his own party. He has some help. They are doing this to try to stop Obamacare, regardless of their other motives. They are, after all, politicians. They obviously have some parts of this planned. Support them, even if their effort doesn’t fit your perfect world idea of how they should proceed, even if it is doomed to fail for the moment, even if they disappointed you on some other issue, even if you don’t think he’s a “natural born citizen”. This is about the only way that “the good guys” have to do anything in the Senate. I don’t understand how anyone on the Right can oppose this, or even try to nitpick it.

No, one of the senators is from Connectthedots. It’s Murphy I think. Cruz is probably not counting himself in that 3.
