I agree.

I admire Ted Cruz and I don’t even 100% support him on this, because we need to construct our own opposing plan before we really have an opposition.

But the guy can fight.

I am sure glad he’s on our side. Go Cruz!

I’m not of the mind that it really helps settle anything with the health care law. However, it does put a dozen Republican senators in an odd position. They have shown themselves more as wannabe political figures...not leaders. Maybe Cruz’s intention was simply that, and nothing more. I’d have no problem with McConnell and McCain leaving...even if it were Democrats replacing them.

Absolutely! He understands the REAL reason he was sent to DC!

And the senior socialist crony politicians don’t like him because he stands in their way of setting up their UN NWO society which I’m willing to bet they’ve been paid handsomely for in one way to stand back and let it happen. The Founding Fathers would have already stormed the WH and started hanging half of their Congress for being traitors and removed the enemy spies in office appointed by the president.

Cruz, Lee to a certain extent, Paul come closer to being statesmen. Most of the others on Capitol Hill are just politicians.

When was the last time we saw a poltician take a principled stand for something he knew was right? Cruz isn’t going to win this one. I think he’s known that for some time. But instead of going along to get along he is not compromising his core beliefs in the slightest. He is going to go down fighting regardless of who it pisses off because he firmly believes it’s in the best interests of the country to oppose Obamacare. How many Congresscritters will place country over career in that fashion? Damned few.

I am behind Cruz on this. I have long waited for someone with a spine to draw a line and stand firm. The get-along mentality works with a get-along President and a get-along Congress who understand that they work for We the People, but these idealogues in the White House do not.

I am sick to death of the DC Republicans running pasty-faced appeasers each and every election. I want someone who has principles and will fight for what they believe. It is why I voted for GWB, my first ever Republican - not because I agreed with everything he believed in, but because I saw in him a man of principle who was willing to fight.

I am worried sick about my country, about Obamacare, about the Marxist wolves in sheep’s clothing who are seeking to destroy everything I hold dear, and I am thrilled to have someone who is willing to take up the fight on my behalf.

Fight on! Molon labe!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

America: The Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth ... Rafael Cruz

Ted Cruz told Glenn Beck that he wasn't worried so much about what Glenn thought, he is most worried about what his father thinks of how Ted lives his life.

I’m going to donate to Pussy McConnell’s primary opponent Bevins.

Money talks.

I don’t give two sh*ts about “splitting” the GOP... it’s already ideologically split. Cruz is doing the right thing for America, regardless of how liberals and RINOs try to paint him as some sort of nutcase. You either stand on principle... or you don’t.

God Bless you, Senator Cruz... thank you for standing in the gap.

Senate Republican Whip List

Tell the Republicans to OPPOSE cloture to stop Harry Reid’s plan to fund Obamacare. Tell them a vote for cloture is a vote to fund Obamacare.

I don’t know if Cruz is the real deal. After the Republican Party has promoted so many phony conservatives, I view every Republican with suspicion. But I give Ted Cruz kudos for standing up for America on this issue. I just hope that no matter what happens, he will continue to focus on the reason he was elected — to represent the people — not to follow orders of his party’s liberal hierarchy.

I think he is terrific! Reading Hoffa’s letter asking the ACA be fixed!

Here is the current status of how each state is planning to handle the health care act. Many have
jumped in with the feds while some are going independently and others some modified approach.

The very biggest problem with Washington is that they do their dirty work away from the eyes of the public. Sen. Cruz is doing a service to us all by shining a light on some of the roaches, including some of the entrenched toads in the Republican party. We need many more just like him.
