Cruz is willing to fight...he is willing to try.

Please tell the class what your candidate has done and is willing to do...?

God knows that conservatives could use a victory about now.

Obama is trying to bypass Congress so that members of Congress won’t have to be held accountable for their votes.

Anyone who read Ted’s book realizes how two-faced members of Congress are.

Republicans who backed the Corker bill are sell outs. Now they don’t want to play by the rules they set and Obama signed into law.

And Democrats have constituents who would hold them accountable for their votes.

Ted is calling them all out.

More than that, Ted is holding Obama and Congress accountable for the law enacted just weeks ago.

How is Ted holding anyone to account? All I have seen are words, words, words.

Isn’t it about time for you to start yelling ‘Alinsky’?”

Hon you set a pattern when you decided you did not like being in the democrat party. Bjclinton voters are like that. Attach themselves to the next best host and pretend that is who they are.

Cruz is a principled man with courage. He is trying to do something. He has tried in the past as well. But he is swimming in a sea of graft and corruption among both parties. The awkward shift in the balance of power in the branches of government is that the legislature has ceded its authority. They’re too busy lining their pockets.

There’s never a guillotine around when you need one.

Just FYI...drunkposting never turns out well. It's too late this time around, but you can keep it in mind going forward.

Why would Mr. Cruz do that? He voted for this mess. He knew what he was voting for when he voted for it. They all did. Only Mr. Cotton was able to resist Hussein and McConnell. He has never backtracked from that vote. He compounded his poor judgment by voting to give Hussein plenary trade negotiating powes, too. He partially backed away from that but his initial judgment is shown to at least be very poor.

What I said:

It will never pass.

What you read:

Cruz is a racist, sexist, homophobic teabagger and I hate him.

Maybe you should pay more attention before you respond.

Good move by Cruz, of course with just Lee, Paul and Session backing him nothing will be done but at least he is making noise.

BS. He can spin it however he wants. Mark Levine I understand agrees with me—this is a complete capitulation to Obama and shredding of our constitution.
