Gorgeous
MK has the glazed over Long Island catholic high school gossipy beeotch I hate him look on her face while trying to drag him through this ‘see what my new boyfriend said and what are you going to say about it?’ schtick, and Cruz just stays on point. Flummoxes her earlier flattery to jeb about sticking with a position, as he sticks to his own, and ends with her, instead of ruling, as usual, so dolled up with the heavy huge gold earrings and fluffy come get me hair
Kabar, I didn’t want you to think I was ignoring your post...so it’s kinda late and my sleeping pills have kicked in, so this will be clumsily written.
I am not completely up to speed on the issue. I figure that I’ll know more about it tomorrow and that we will hear something from Cruz over the next few days.
Just on the face of it I am bothered, but perhaps Cruz is working an angle not known to the rest of us.
You see, I trust Cruz to do what he thinks is going to get him elected. Of course, he is human and in the fast lane, so he may make an occasional mistake.....I am not certain he has.
Just to be clear, I am hardwired to Cruz and I will back him until the end.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
See my cryptic #42. I am with Cruz all the way, regardless of the bumps in the road along the way.
~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that.
Hang in there....there is no way we are going to lose Cruz, over this.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
/bingo
So... because Cruz voted for cloture on this bill, he’s dead to you? The closest thing anyone’s going to get to a “pure” candidate is Bernie Sanders. Everyone else in both parties will have some record of pissing off his/her core constituencies with a vote, a statement or an association.
The key is wresting the levers of power away from the darkside next year. Millions of conservative voters sat at home in 2012
because they didn’t like this or that about Romney. And here we are with Obama ramping up his destruction-of-America agenda.
A cloture vote of yes is a yes vote for the bill. It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture and only 51 to pass. Cloture votes prevent a vote on the bill. Essentially, a cloture vote of yes is always a vote of yes on the bill. Often, a senator will vote “no” on the bill itself, after voting “yes” on cloture, so he can go back home and claim “I voted no on that damn bill”. Cruz tipped his hand on this one. I will not vote for him ever.
Ted "H-1B" Cruz has a major thing for flooding our homeland with foreign workers.
Thanks for posting. Sorry I missed it live. Ted couldn’t look more relaxed. He’s great on his feet. No surprise there.
But McConnell voted "no," so there may be another layer of intrigue or parliamentary procedure that we're not aware of.
Need it be mentioned that voting against cloture was a sure way to defeat the bad idea?
We have heard this dissemble before...”Oh, I just voted for cloture...” and next thing you know, the damn thing passes...”unexpectedly”.
Cruz could have done himself a major favor by voting with the dumbles on this one....
No one that will keep you happy, Reagan is dead.
Kabar...if a vote on cloture would stop the continued attempts to add more destructive amendments to the terrible trade bill and send to an up or down vote which will defeat it (as it should be)isn’t that a good thing?
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow...

[but he's not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
Thanks VinL.
McConnell voted no so he could bring the bill up again. It is standard parliamentary procedure. McConnell is a firm yes vote on cloture and the bill itself.
You need to read what I said. Don’t panic.
I said I no longer trust any candidate. Look at what else I said. Jeez.......
It sounds like you voted for Romney, as I did.
Did you vote for Romney?
Boy, that’s a stretch. The cloture vote also allows the bill to come to the floor for a vote. Since Biden is the tiebreaker, the supporters of this bad bill would only need 50 votes to pass it. Hell, we don’t even know what is in the bill. You have to pass it to find out what is in it. Sound familiar?
-— McConnell voted no so he could bring the bill up again. It is standard parliamentary procedure. -—
I don’t know anything about Robert’s Rules of Order, which is why I was never able to speak at a school committee meeting.
So what does this all mean?
So Cruz voted yes on cloture, and against the legislation?
McConnell voted no on cloture and yes on the legislation?
