” Boehner was ultimately able to pass the bill earlier this week, in an usual alliance with Obama who intervened to help round up reluctant Democrats.”
All we need to know.

B/S. Cruz wanted to submit an amendment to the bill removing funding for Obama’s illegal, unconstitutional executive amnesty. Reid shut it down on dictator Obama’s behalf.

Cruz-Control. Yes! I know Boo-Hoo Boehner and Turtle-Neck Mcconnell and Miz Lindsay are having conniption fits about now. “Who is responsible for bring Ted Cruz into this? Was it you, John?”
To: 2ndDivisionVet
CRUZ called a ‘point of order’, Doing EXACTLY what the citizens of TEXAS elected him to do.
We didn’t ELECT him to please the Drive by’s.

The sudden turn of events hit Congress as lawmakers had largely agreed to move forward with funding the government and begin wrapping up their work before the holidays.
Aawwww... poor babies! They earn six figure salaries and associated perks and are worried they may have to work into the holidays. A lot of us earn nowhere near what they get, and still do what we need to do to get the job done, including working over the holidays.

Poor little things. They have to work on a Saturday!
I didn't hear much complaining when they worked overtime, in the dead of the night, to pass Obamacrap.

You go, Sen. Cruz! This is exactly what we elected you to do. And we notice that Cowardly Cornyn, our silent weenie senator from Texas, is hiding somewhere. You won’t get any help from him.
