“It makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership team is united in favor of big government spending and debt and power.”
It makes clear the the McConnell-Reid leadership team is united in favor of furthering the Obama agenda, the same McConnell who ran last year on a platform to stop the Obama agenda.
The Republican caucus has collectively committed the most outrageous betrayal of the American voter in history.
A comment like Cruz’s makes me think he’s getting pretty sick of being a Republican. If I were the Establishment, I’d be a bit careful with him at this point, particularly with Trump lurking.
HOORAY Ted Cruz! BTTT!
“Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Washington party. “
I prefer the term “uniparty” but that’s close enough. Looks like Sen. Cruz has had his road to Damascus moment.
Welcome aboard.
Just listening to Ted Cruz speak for long periods without a teleprompter, eloquently, factually, and with fervor, and freedom in his heart and speech, makes me believe he is fighting for us and the Constitution. He is a true patriot and statesman.
The most bold statement i can recall from a Republican in my lifetime.
Cruz or lose my FRiends.
I so hope this man gets elected....
I wonder if he’ll be back on with Rush tomorrow for some follow up.
I’ve heard a few people talk about Trump doing harm to the republican party. I’ve thought, what’s wrong with that? The republican and democrat parties need to be destroyed.
I dont trust McConnell or any gop leadership.
I think McConnell and other gop leaders are just playing to the media and trying to make themselves look like they are doing something.
Think what Cruz said just this week about McConnell lying and also this from Cruzs book.
Cruz on leadership corruption and sellout......
That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, Were asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.
Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, thats what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because were scared of this issue. We dont want to have a political fight on this.
But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.
Now, I was sitting there to be honest, I hadnt gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, Theres no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, Ill fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.
If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.
What were they doing meeting on Sunday?
I find that out of order. It’s the Lords Day. It’s a family day
It’s clandestine and it’s slave driving
It’s unnecessary
Donald trump HAS to move in. Someone with power does
The polls show Cruz at 4%. Are we supposed to believe that?
Are all voters stupid? Like they seem to be putting these guys into the senate year after year? Or is tiger just out of control cheating going on?
Are these people so greedy that all of them conspire to sell out our nation so that our kids have nothing left?
People don’t even want to procreate with this crap going on
Arizona STOP with the McCain BS. Send him home!!!!
If this was Texas hold’em, Cruz just declared, “all in”. He has staked his political career on calling his party on their duplicity and hypocrisy.
What he has done is similar to the Spanish conquistador who burned his ships when arriving in America. There is no going back, only forward.
God bless him and protect him.
Weve just seen something extraordinary on the Senate floor. The American people elected a Republican majority believing that a Republican majority would be somehow different from a Democratic majority in the United States Senate. Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Washington party.
...
Also accurately called the Uniparty, and the Kleptocrats.
Time for Cruz and Trump to start a third party. We will let the Republicans and Democrats split the retard vote.
...there is one party, the Washington party.

He is so right.
Go, Ted, go!
Here! Here!
No truer words ever spoken...
