-— He just went after leadership HARD. wow-—

He’s explained these phoney-baloney parliamentary tricks, over and over. It’s great!

I just see Marco. Where is the great senator from Texas?

I only watch Hannity now. And I can't wait until the Blaze takes off.

Hear that, Roger?

They are turning it...but regardless of what happens tomorrow...and throughout the weeks ahead...we’ve been spectacle to two amazing men speaking the language of the people....I have no doubt God Himself has moved them both to where they are at this time...

Remember Jesus was born at night and the whole event was from unexpected events and people....God works often as this...and because this was so unexpected and has touched so many...it will be more than interesting to see what comes of it all....two men front and center...and God.

Our nation can be turned back around but it will take people listening to do it. This is the first real hope of leadership I've seen in either house for years. If Dole, Lott, Frist, an/or McConnell, had shown the insight, wisdom, and leadership these men have shown in the past 16 hours our nation wouldn't be in a lot of this mess.

A nation turning away from GOD has brought us to where we are. Now maybe like what happened in 1980 when Celery from all walks united behind a Conservative Grass Roots movement started by Weyrich, Phillips, and Falwell, we will get a real America First POTUS once again. I don't expect Cruz or Lee to be perfect. But I'm beyond sick and tired of what has been in the White house since 1989 and what is constituting as being called GOP Leadership. Cruz in all aspects is our next Reagan if we can get him elected and Lee would be far better continuance of it than another VP Bush. This may well be our nations last chance.

I am sorry Jim - it is wrong of me to despair. I prayed for our nation to Christ this morning, and I will continue to do so.

This was my Bible verse of the day this morning.

Psalm 34:17-20

"When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken."

They keep harping that come noon-time, he has to give up the floor to Ried, so it’s pointless.

Does he? I thought they needed 60 votes to stop him? He doesn't just 'give up' the floor to Reid.

The great Senator Cruz yielded the floor to Marco Rubio for a question....

FOX the GOP-E Spin Control New Network will likely go after Cruz and Lee with a vengeance now. Look for McCain and Graham to get far more airtime and be called "The Voice". I've been over FOX for years. It's sole purpose seems to be keeping GOP-E's ongoing power sharing with the Dem-Marxist alive and well.

We know this was a payoff to the supporters, much like the illegal arms shipments, like destabilizing governments in North Africa in an attempt to put the Muslim Brotherhood in power. Criminal, yes...but not entirely devoid of religious overtones. The political (including Sharia) is interlaced with the religious, and Duh-1's statements in the latter regard cannot be ignored in view of his actions.

Aside from the international repercussions of his behaviour, many jailhouse and 'hood converts to islam exist, and they often have that little trayvon look about them.Keep in mind that there is a vehicle there to place Christian and even secular crackers at an economic disadvantage on the domestic front, while forcing them to pay for healthcare and support the remainder.

The bottom line is that his strongest supporters will not have to pony up the "tax" while the rest of America gets stuck with the tab. Again.

It's crony Marxism at its finest.

I’m sure the great Senator Cruz is happy for the break.

He’s been absolutely fabulous all night.

Senator Lee, too.

Inspirational, highly educational and both have talked on personal levels.

It’s been a true learning experience.

May God forever bless and keep both patriot statesmen and their precious families.

It could be, and SHOULD be, if we actually had journalists. But again, I am soo grateful for the internet Lord, laughs.

I THINK people are waking up to the fact that they are being played for fools, and can find out the truth, for THEMSELVES.

This really is wonderful. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are imbued truely, with the American spirit, and it has been SOOO long since I have seen that in our “representatives”.

“I’m praying y’all have a good Tea Party conservative to run against him in the primary!” I heard there’s a veteran that’s going to run against Cornyn—

Eric Wyatt of Rockport, an Iraq War veteran and Tea Party ally has filed papers to challenge Cornyn in the primaries.

Love that name, Eric Wyatt!!!! Don’t know but about him but he will be running against Cornyn...so he’s at least worth a look!
