Senate Floor: Ted Cruz Explodes On Mitch McConnell,Says He Lied To Entire Republican Conference
Breitbart.com ^ | July 24, 2015 | Mathew Boyle

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, delivered a brutal speech bashing his own party’s leadership’s failures on the Senate floor on Friday morning after Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) moved forward with a plot to reauthorize the Export Import Bank. In the speech, Cruz says—calling him out personally—McConnell lied to the entire Republican conference. Cruz’s speech stemmed from how McConnell—despite telling the entire GOP conference there was no such secret deal with the Democrats during the Obamatrade process to later bring up Ex-Im reauthorization—actually did cut a deal with Democrats, specifically Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). “Today is a sad day for this institution,” Cruz said on the floor. .

"I WAS on the fence.

No longer.

Cruz is real and Cruz is genuine.

No matter who else dances through the primaries, I will be in the Cruz camp. This man is what I expect a leader to be.

Bump that.

I don’t think Cruz went far enough. He should have called McConnell and his cohorts what they really are; “SPINELESS WHORES”.

They are not spineless. They are the enemy.

Cruz called them "corrupt."

I don't think Cruz will be getting any more dinner invitations from the Crony Capitalists who own DC.

He gutted them on the floor of the Senate. McConnell will be apoplectic and I hope he over plays his response.

"Of course, McConnell lied."

That's what traitors do.

Hume HAS been a flunky for the DC Cartel in his segments on FNC for the past few months! I’ve lost respect for him.

It took guts and courage to systematically explain and blast the so-called “leadership” on the Senate floor. In the modern vernacular, “speaking truth to power”, and doing it in a manner that was clear and concise. Refreshing is what it is. It is exactly what many have been wanting to hear , since it is what we deeply believe is the case with our so-called “leadership”....those we voted for and who have betrayed our own trust. As I read his remarks I could only say Go, bro, speak it!

They are “SPINELESS” because they don’t have the “GUTS” to tell their voters what they really want to do. They stand in front of their voters, during election time, and lie to them with a straight face. Ay least we know what Bernie Sanders want to do to this country, should he be elected president. There is no difference between these “LIARS” than OBAMA, who lies to us with a straight face every day. AND they are unrepentent “WHORES” because they have no conscience in selling themselves to the highest bidder to those people on “K” street.

[Hume HAS been a flunky for the DC Cartel...]

In my opinion, this goes for the whole of the Fox network. The Washington Cartel and, in particularly, the RNC knows from the last two elections which put the (r)publicans in charge of both houses, will happen again which is fully demonstrated by the Trump campaign.

Again, in my opinion, it’s the reason that the RNCe has brought back all the previous losers resulting in the swamping of the election field to weaken and push back the Conservatives effort to get a foothold.

Fox Network is probably the worse offender of this effort to destroy the Conservatives because of their overrated status as being ‘fair and balanced’ but with their ‘partnering’ with the Facebook and other left wing organizations for their ‘fair and balanced’ polling, it should be obvious, to everyone, of their intent.

There are only a few in the GOP Senate that aren’t pathological liars. It’s very sad that we gave this scum a majority.

They are so disingenuous, were it not for Mark Levin I would not know they are duplicitous.
