[In the end, Lee was unable to rally the support of a mere 10 Republican senators needed for the chamber to consider his amendment to defund Planned Parenthood]

Not being able to muster 10 votes to defund Planned Parenthood has an eerie comparison to the story of Abraham and Lot.

McConnell isn't representing the party, nor Kentucky, which traditionally has much, much lower rates of abortion than most of the states out there.

McConnell should resign his leadership position.

They’d rather bow down to the GOPe linguini ‘leadership’ gods than do the right thing.

I think 10 innocent people was the cut-off for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Looks like Cruz’ strategy is to run against McConnell.

Not a bad one.

Not even 10 senators with a conscience. D.C. needs to be gutted!

It makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership team is united in favor of big government spending and debt and power.”

“united in favor...spending and debt and power”

WHY did he sidestep the MAIN ISSUE, which is they are united in the bloody slaughter of babies in the womb.

These “Republicans” have lost any credibility they ever had. I do not understand how these fools can keep being re-elected.

There are only 10 pro-lifers in the Senate, think about it. How sad is this?

While Trump is bellowing "Look at me!", Ted Cruz is fighting the good fight in the Senate and exposing the duplicitous nature of the Washington Cartel. Cruz is the ONLY one doing this.

What Cruz is doing is so much more important than Trump's grandstanding that they shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Washington is under the thumb by a one-party system controlled by global elites who want the world in their bloody jaws.

What is Trump doing to fight that? He's part of it! Notice that Fox News is attacking Cruz for not attacking Trump. Why?

Because Cruz is exposing the friends of Murdoch and Ailes on the floor of the Senate. Dr. Strangelove (Krauthammer), Little Lord Fauntleroy (Will) and Eeyore (Hume) have their marching orders: STOP CRUZ!

I thought McConnell simply didn’t want PP defunding attached to the “highway bill”, but rather to see it in a stand alone bill. No?

Guess not, or else McConnell would get his bushy tail out there and explain that exactly.

Cruz id doing righteous work here. Good on him, and God bless him.

Planned Parenthood, and all those involved in the killing of little children in the womb and then selling their body parts are a bunch of frickin’ Josef Mengeles.

Anyone who cannot see this once they see the Planned Parenthood rep on the video, and then hear the rabid defense of these animals by the libs, progressives, and PP itself, is past feeling as far as I am concerned.

And the fact that GOP leadership is falling over itself to continue PP funding is equally sickening and makes them equally culpable...particularly after this wretchedness has been exposed.

Either we the people are going to have to stand and put this evil down, and use our power of the vote to do so...and then legally and criminally go after these people...or I predict one day that God in Heaven will do so Himself...and if He has to, then it is going to be ugly for our nation, and His judgement will be just.

We have been the most richly blessed nation in the world...and God has already told us, through His Son, Jesus Christ, that anyone who offends little ones like these children, that it would be better in the long run for them that a millstone were tied around their neck and they be tossed in the Ocean.

Who were the Senators who stood with Senator Lee, Cruz and who else. I doubt either Mississippi Senator, Wicker or Cochran stood for right.

What we have now is a GOP made up of democrats who've had to run as republicans in order to get elected in districts with available seats.

Phonies and liars.

Your comment brought a chill to my spine and a dagger to my heart. Each day reveals new parallels to historical examples of God's righteous judgment. The latest undercover Planned Parenthood videos have stripped abortion of all its perfume and camouflage, exposing its evil and barbarism. A merciful God is giving us new opportunities to repent and change course, but our angry defiance convicts us. America is now daring a just God to strike us down.
