And can we give some credit to Sen. Roberts, who has been a good conservative and has supported Cruz all along? He got a hard-fought return to the Senate and is right there with the whippersnappers, fighting the good fight.

Has he moved back to KS yet? Then maybe.

There is no doubt that Obama will do this.

There is no doubt that the media will portray this as "Government Shutdown II."

Can Cruz stop Boehner and McConnell from capitulating?

Do what Reagan did. Go to the people and ignore the rest.

Impeachment should be the #1 priority, I don’t care how they do it, just get this mofo out of office ASAP. The guy is a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States, anyone who doubts that has been asleep the past 5 years. He’s done nothing BUT empower and help spread radical Islam while kicking the legs out from under the US at every turn and enough is enough. God knows what else he is doing on the side when nobody is looking.

to solve the illegal alien problem, first the presidency must be handled in some permanent manner

That’s what Cruz does best. But even if he succeeds in the court of public opinion, what mechanism is there to stop Obama? And once amnesty is ‘legally’ given, can it be rescinded?

Let Obama do it in that scenario and watch the problem solve itself. By the people themself.

These two understand that you can not win if you do not fight. The lawlessness must be confronted.

I’ve been dismayed that even after yesterday’s defeat of the Democrats there are some Freepers who have a timid cautious attitude, “wait till 2016” - we must position ourselves for 2016. Defense doesn’t put points on the scoreboard. Defense is how to lose.

Cruz and Lee have got it right.

Oh, my! The Cruz Coalition wastes no time in coming out firing on McConnell and his lackeys! Hang on tight, boys, reinforcements incoming.

I question the necessity of including the procedural threats. They should have just sent the offer to help with quick bipartisan debate on the issue. The threat is implicit. Reid knows that. Now Reid has no face saving alternative and will continue on as he has.

One of the great blessings of Obama (and Clinton) is that they made people stand up and rethink government. That Constitution is starting to look pretty good to a lot of “independents” aka mushy-middle.
