The point about the Robo calls was that when they can’t get people to take O Care even when its supposedly free-(they spend all this money on ads/robocalls-) means there has to be something wrong with it.

I think so. What we’ve got is a game of chicken. The dems want this to be about the R’s taking the military hostage, but the R’s have voted to fund everything EXCEPT OBAMACARE.

If it goes back to the House, there are needed only about 18 republicans to vote with all the democrats to fund Obamacare.

On the other hand if Cruz is successful in getting 41 Senators to vote no on cloture, then Reid will have to with hold a vote on funding the government without Obamacare or shutting down the government.

This is why it is essential that republican senators and some democrat senators join Cruz in voting against cloture. It puts the onus all on Reid. This is a sound strategy if the republicans in the Senate fight with Cruz.

I don’t care what the GOP elite think...

Their judgment has been so wrong about running Dole, McCain, Romney

I think it is probably wise to do the opposite of whatever they want

The GOP are a bunch of statists and only want to control everyone like the Dems do.

They are not conservatives who want to preserve individual freedom of choice.

Great idea. I’ve heard that Cruz speaks Spanish and that he doesn’t.

This is what we see, handing them the Merde' Sandwich to negotiate with Us.

The Rino's in the Senate don't have the stomach for it, imagine having to sit at the table with Obama and actually hammer out some changes to Obamacare, when will Reid, Obama and Pelosi for that matter get it...

The robo calls are a planned deception. In other words, they have to lie and deceive people to get their evil agenda passed.

The media vermin ... I know where I’m going hunting when the collapse arrives. The oligarchs won’t be dragging these media vermin into the bunkers with them, so the season will be open!

I was up earlier this morning and the thought occurred: What if Cruz refuses to stop when Harry tells him to stop?

They don't care about our disdain - but they'll get it in spades regardless. I loath them all. As a side note, the snake Cornyn will be hearing from me personally when he's back in town.
