Mike Lee up pointing out who’s still there - the pages.

Lee remembering as a page watching Harry Reid speak for 12 plus hours at a time even as his colleagues didn’t agree with him. lol, remembers the pages bringing Reid lots of water, perhaps hoping it would make him quit sooner.

Just read that this commiecare bill is EIGHT times longer than the Bible!

Start reading :)

[txhurl]

Sarah gave us the blueprint. Take everything they have got and come back stronger. The left is a paper tiger. The more they are stood up to, the weaker they become.

Excellent perspective, as usual!

#592 Cruz, talking about his "argument boots"Ha!

I used to have a old former Marine Corpsman friend who used to say he'd wear his special boots to these kind of events. He'd say he'd wear them because when someone was giving him a load of *it...* he needed his boots because he didn't want to get his white socks dirty.;)

[WVNan]

You are right that Cruz is not Sarah, and he will not be intimidated. That is why I fear for him. We all know that the RATS will do anything to hold on to their power. Cruz is a major threat to them. Sarah stood down because of the threat to her family.

I believe this, too.

[butterdezillion]

What Cruz and a lot of us are saying to the Senate is actually very simple and biblical: Do unto us as you would have Obama do unto you.

[Jane Long]

Oops...listed Vitter twice. We'll just let him vote twice let Dim voters ;)

[Girlene]

Yep.....Obamacare Regulations Are 8 Times Longer Than Bible -

[Jane Long]

Excellent tweet to coward Midge Beasley McConnell, Mesta!

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Cruz and Lee, honoring principle over privledge.

[cdcdawg]

It’s a perfect way to give him a break. Read a huge portion of the bill, then say “Senator, you’re a distinguished lawyer, so what does all that mumbo jumbo mean?” Over and over and over. Throw in plenty of shots at Nancy Pelosi. They need to do this.

Cruz and Lee read letters from real people while Durban makes up Judy a 62 yr old motel maid who just happens to have diabetes. What are the odds he ran into her or that she is real? How many 62 yr old motel maids are there and where do you suppose a multi-millionaire Senator would stay?

BTW: Diabetes doesn’t reject you from HC, especially on a group plan.

[trubolotta]

I hope they have a plan for the night. I’d like for them to start reading the Obamacare bill.

I hope not. I'm not ready for sleep yet but maybe soon. If they started reading the regs, that would get my attention but may give me nightmares. I think that would also scare of lot of others listening.

[boxlunch]

BTTT!

[caww]

Those questions are better written in e-mail. I'm going to be doing that ,Again, before I go to bed...IF I go to bed!

[Girlene]

Lee talking about how even after the bill was passed, we’ve had two significant revisions to the law brought about by the judicial branch of the govt.
