That’s one of the things that Cruz was talking about on Hannity’s radio show today.
The excuses that the GOPe always has.
- We need the House
- We need the Senate
- We need 60 votes
- Next will be we need 67 votes to override the POSOTUS.

We fight today! Go Cruz!

Add those RINO ‘rats to the officially affiliated ‘rats and at least 15 incumbent Senators need to be put down.

This must have been at the time when Mark stated he is but one inch in leaving the Pubbies standing at the gate.

Imagine a new party with actual Conservative pundits, and Conservative candidates. WOW...that would be a dream! DC would have their panties in a wad.

yea... I agree. That was no big deal.

20 Republicans, including McConnell, voting against Cruz’s point of order?? THAT’s a big deal.

This whole “It’s Ted Cruz’ fault these nominees are getting confirmed” promulgated lie is a well-orchestrated and coordinated campaign being conducted by the GOPe/’RAT/Media Ruling Elite will not achieve the objective of vilifying Ted Cruz. Instead, it simply is confirming the truth of our perception that THEY FEAR TED CRUZ AND THEY FEAR TED CRUZ MIGHTILY.

What can we do as constitutional conservatives? We can coalesce around Ted Cruz as THE conservative candidate for the 2016 Republican Presidential nominee... and coalesce NOW.

I simply do not believe Harry Reid is smart enough to trap Ted Cruz.

Good for Cruz. Someone has to lead the charge and we surely need it. Too many charging RINOs in the past. We need the Mel Gibson moment from The Patriot. Grab the flag, Cruz, reverse the rout and yell “follow me, boys! FOLLOW ME!”

Kirk should be easy to defeat, in the general if not the primary. It is Illinois after all. I will have to look at the others to see who is most vulnerable.

At least we don’t have to worry about Scott Brown or Olympia Snowe any more!

The time to fight is ALWAYS now.

Ted Cruz for President!!!

Ted Cruz would make a wonderful President.

Ted Cruz has a deep reverence for the United States Constitution.

From another article:

'Some officials said Cruz was personally informed by GOP aides that Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid was primed to take advantage if he went ahead.

Under the Senate's rules, Cruz's maneuver allowed Reid to begin the time-consuming process of confirming nominations on Saturday at noon — when lawmakers had been scheduled to be home for the weekend.

Had Cruz not made his move when he did, according to officials in both parties, Reid would have had to wait until Monday night — more than 48 hours later. Disgruntled Republicans said they felt confident that Reid's rank and file would not have been willing to remain in Washington in that case, and only four or five nominees would be confirmed instead of 23.'

A socialist may be registered Independent
but Independents are not all Socialists.

There are droves of ex registered GOP RUNNING to Independent because they are disgusted with the GOP.

I am ONE of MANY.
