Sen. John Boozman lit into Sen. Ted Cruz during a closed-door meeting this week, underscoring the mounting tension within the Senate Republican Conference over the Texas freshman’s hardball tactics on Obamacare.

I left a message impolitely informing the Senator that I would be funding any challenger if he voted for 0bamaCare / Cloture.
Thanks for the number.
From today forward, every RINO senator in every who runs for office should be primaried by Tea Party candidates. If the TP candidate loses, we don’t vote.
It doesn’t matter any more if a Democrat wins or a Republican wins. The fact that Republicans do not want Conservatives in the party except for their vote is now obvious.
It is time for a third party.
ooooooooooh another scumbag to call/write!!!!!
Don't stop making Senate calls...A VOTE FOR CLOTURE IS A VOTE FOR FUNDING 0CARE!!
THANKS !
My four Grandchildren are grateful.
At least he should have a realization of why many people are standing with Cruz. Of course if he is actually of different persuasion his political ploys are exposed.
He's nobody - just the lame excuse Polutico is using to attack Cruz.
Just did. Actually had someone answer the call. Not casey or Toomey.
These are the times that separate the men from the cowards, and we are seeing too many candy a$$ed Republican Senators who think they serve the Senate instead of their constituents and the American people. People who work for a living, people who haven’t seen a raise in years, can’t afford to pay more for less, like Obamacare, especially if it forces them to work fewer hours. A majority of Americans don’t want Obamacare because they can see how much damage it is going to do to America and to their families. Republican Senators who place the faux dignity of the Senate above these Americans need to tarred and feathered, and run out of Washington.
Mr. Boozman has apparently forgotten the issue that got him elected to the Senate...Obamacare
I send their envelopes back to them with junk mail in it. This way they have to pay the extra postage. From all the money I gave them and got nothing back for it, I am taking it back 49 cents at a time.
Out of oblivion — suddenly a national *ss-hole.

Pardon me for being a thief but I am using your statement on Twitter!
I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he has used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve sent my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.

WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
Among others, Thomas Jefferson warned that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency, to wit:
“When the servants if the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that un-backed currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw this problem ahead:
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.
WHO in the hell pulled this jerk’s string and asked for his opinion ?!
He’s simply pissed he is not like Cruz. What a cry baby. Be gone you fool!
Yep, he is my Senator and he will hear about this!
Agreed.
I'd add that it's time Republicans understood that those they're seeking to appease, still won't vote for them. Whether it's "more moderate" votes on abortion, or gay marriage, or (right now) ObamaCare ... pandering to Dems will not gain them any Dem votes, so long as they're running as a Republican.
They might as well govern to the right, and retain what votes they have, rather than succeed at losing all of them.
I'm amazed that so many RINOs just haven't figured that out yet.
Must be Booze-Man who is drug with power.
Screw these RINOs. Flood them with calls and e-mails telling them to support the American people or get out of office.
Vichy Republican.
