Ted Cruz Talking Filibuster in progress (Live Thread)

“I just left a message for Cornyn too . Boy did I give him an earful! Said we would get him primaries if he doesn’t stop Obamacare.”

Eric Wyatt, Iraqi War Vet is going to primary against Cornyn...I am trying to find out more about Wyatt.

Harry doesn’t know his filli from buster! Time to stand up to the bully!

“Hey Harry can we call it a filibuster yet?”

In my opinion, Harry doesn’t get to decide what it’s called...what a prig he is!

Another dynamic senator needs to get up and give TED a break. JUST start READING THE BILL in it’s entirety... could take two days!!!

He could be my President

Gohmert needs to be drafted to beat Cornyn like a red-headed stepchild.

/johnny

He's been hearing that a lot. ;)

+1

Wow. Hearing about the signers of the Declaration of Independence is awe-inspiring. How precious they considered freedom. Wow. Every American should hear this.

I wonder how many senators are there now.

me too...I just finished 3 slices of last nite’s pizza , for breakfast

Oh, I know! I call his office all the time to thank him for all he’s doing and say “God bless you.” I just love him. Can’t say the same for Cornyn.

Other than a lack of formatting, what was that?

Jim, what is the largest number of Freeper posts on one single thread/article? 911?

Every zipperhead on FR that says this is kabuki theater and meaningless needs to shut up.

In 24 hours Cruz has mobilized more pressure on DC than all of their whining and pontificating ever has.

/johnny

Totally agree...this is one of the greater moments ever witnessed.

Good morning, trooper FReepers! Have y'all been here throughout the night/morning? I'm just tuning back in and catching up.

What a glorious thing to wake up to see MY Senator and TRUE patriots still standing strong on the Senate floor!

Prayers up for these courageous REAL representatives of We the People!

That’s my senator! Go Cruz!

Sharp as a tack, animated, passionate, right on track-Amazing.This man is the real thing.
Somewhere in the Heavens- the Founding Fathers and Ronald Reagan are smiling.

Is it from the document about the Founding Fathers written by Rush’s father?

Yes.

That sounds good. I’m envious.
