Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday defended his decision to delay a final vote on the $1.1 trillion spending bill over the weekend, which is helping Senate Democrats confirm nearly two dozen of President Obama's nominations.
Cruz’s colleagues have voiced frustration with his actions, suggesting he walked into Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) trap.
But Cruz cast he and ally Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) as fighters willing to take on the Obama administration and GOP leaders as too willing to go with the flow. “Leadership was angry. They were angry because they did not want to fight this fight now. And Mike Lee and I thought it was important to get a vote now, to get the Democrats on record, and we hoped every Republican on record against executive amnesty,” Cruz said in a radio interview with Sean Hannity on Monday afternoon.
Cruz and Lee held up voting on the spending bill by refusing to allow unanimous consent to speed up the vote unless the Senate first cast a vote on whether to stop Obama's executive actions on immigration.
Saved! :)
Sounds to me like Reid was just doing what small little vindictive weasels like to do when they do not get their way.
Hope he's unrelenting on calling them out.
I literally hate Boehner. He is scum. He is a traitor.
What’s the story of that picture?
Fantastic!
He’s one a few with a spine.
BUMP!
Ted Cruz for President!!!
****************************
we need to start making the Bumper stickers soon!
but who is our top choice for his VP? Walker? Martinez? Paul?
good! because we in Texas elected him to stand UP!
GO CRUZ!
It doesn’t matter the RINO’s will rubber stamp them all anyway!
GO CRUZ!
Every last one of these closet Democrats should be fired by conservative voters in their districts.
I will add, as a fifth circumstance in the situation of the House of Representatives, restraining them from oppressive measures, that they can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of the society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interests and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny.

In their states. These traitors are GOPe Senators.
The traitors tell us we must not fight now that we must wait and how many times have they done this? They need to be taught a lesson bury them all with the rats in one fell swoop!
The point was to get the liars on record who promised to vote against Obama’s amnesty and ObamaCare, but then voted to fund everything the Democrats could stuff into 1700 pages of the budget bill. Now there is a record of their lies, and they don’t like that a bit.
We are proud of you, Sen. Cruz.
I could not agree more!
Exactly. He's as crafty as a serpent with these snakes in the grass!
