Of course, but what I was asking was in regards to non-pols...other than the sick dems, I’ve seen nothing but glaring support.

Screw King, McConnell et al - the light has landed on their dark corners and I am grateful.

I believe that you are correct...some people (many actually) are just not informed of what is going on...I look at it as my mission to expose the truth to the uninformed!

Still sharp as a tack.....

Just thinking the same thing.

Obama would have been pumped full of speed and coke at this point....

Like his 2008 Roman Columns acceptance speech...

Thank you for a different take on the fillibuster. Something to think about. We do KNOW though that some of our senior Senator’s and Congressmen are STABBING CRUZ by words and deeds!

Guy from RNC said they are working hard behind scene to put Obombashare bill down. Told him they needed to grow a pair if they wanted to get the job done! He laughed and asked if I wanted to pass that message. Replied “you betcha!”

If Harry Reid intends to obstruct the process, then I will pray God removes him from the floor of the senate just as HE removed annas and sapphira (Acts 8)

Last time Rubio spoke, he was stressing how he, Cruz, etc., are the ones who are truly standing up against the political elite and for the regular guys. It would’ve been the perfect opportunity to tie it in to the filibuster in the ‘60s when the GOP was pushing the Civil Rights Act, and the democrats (Robt. Byrd) filibustered AGAINST civil rights.

The idiots assume, and are told, that it was the democrats who were in favor of civil rights when, in fact, they strongly opposed that. People need to hear the truth. Sadly, the people who need to hear the truth aren’t paying attention now; they’re focused on “Dancing With the Stars”, “Duck Dynasty”, Kardashians, etc. Brain dead.

Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and John Cornyn (R-TX) — the top two Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate — announced yesterday that they will support “cloture” on the government funding bill, giving Harry Reid and the Democrats a procedural green light to fund Obamacare with only 50 votes.

Mumbles and Cornball are in bumbling panic mode and just want the hot potato off their plate for now. Total buffoonery.

Largest number of posts is 65,534, brought to you by the Undead Thread.

One of the Hobbit Hole threads did it first, years before the Undead Thread was... born.

On topic remark: Ted Cruz is awesome. John Cornyn will pay a price in the primary next year, for not supporting him.

From Allahpundit this morning:

Here’s the part where Mitch McConnell brings in all the telegrams from RINOs urging Cruz to quit.

Excellent summary. I did get pretty emotional last night..I couldn’t believe how little visible support he was getting.

I’ve settled down;)

We need to find a real opponent to run against Cornyn

Any East Tennessee Freepers trying to call Corker in local offices in East Tennessee need to either call Nashville or DC. The Knoxville and Tri-Cities offices are on Full Voice Mail Mode.

Alexander and Corker's DC office lines are busy but I did finally get through on both. I hope their ears are burning.

Cruz: Stop calling them “private exchanges”

They are not private
