Cruz Sets Confrontational Tone As Senate Debate Begins

Washington Wire ^ | September 24, 2013 | Janet Hook

The Senate plunged into debate over legislation to fund the government while cutting of money for the new health-care law, with both sides accusing the other of threatening to bring about a government shutdown.

Senator Ted Cruz, (R/TX) on a mission.

Stand tall Senator....

I hope so. I am sick to death, of limp wristed, gutless, spineless wimp a$$ MFers, AKA rats and RINOs. Did I leave anything out? I wish him well.

I didn’t see anything confrontational.
I saw a man seeking a fair hearing.

GO TED GO!!!

ALL freepers need to call BOTH of their Senators, not just your Republican one, and call their LOCAL offices also, not just DC.

[TonyM]

Calling Tea Party members who are just exercising their constitutional rights “Anarchist” as Reid did is not confrontational?

[noprogs]

It just seems confrontational. The press and people are so used to the Rove-Bush-McConnell-McCain-Alexander-Graham type of GOP response to blatant socialism that any sort of legitimate opposition seems rude.

[RedMDer]

BUMP!

**************************************
To someone wanting and expecting a “lay down” , that IS confrontational.

At one time I had some degree of respect for Peter King R(NY). However after hearing him call Cruz a fraud, that was the end. These type of comments by repubs against repubs, should be kept in private, within the repub party. IMO

[Venturer]

You have a point.

[Recompennation]

Dearest Nancy and ders :
Read my lips “no funding the health care edict” this is a proportional reply.

[Tupelo]

Sitting here, disgusted as usual with the Republicrat party, I started thinking about Senator Cruz's & Senator Lee's attempts to defund Obamacare.
I keep watching the GOPe and their Democrat leaders as they ridicule Cruz & Lee. Then I watch as more and more Senate Republicrats jump in front of the cameras and proclaim the "silliness in denying Dear Leader anything". Not a damn one of them, NOT ONE has mentioned that the Senate has not passed a budget in five ( 5 ) years. A budget would prevent these annual "emergencies". At this point, I will be surprised if Cruz & Lee can get 10 Republicans to join them.

"Confrontational Tone"

The headline SHOULD read: "Ted Cruz puts Principle over Party, futily attempting to stop a Takeover, but the Fix is in......the pseudo-Republicans are all bought and paid for, and KNOW the line-item-veto will not be challenged that Harry Reid will use to remove the un-wanted Obamacare de-funding."

[Gene Eric]

Just a bitchy interpretation.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Fox has started turning on Sen Cruz. There was a program this weekend and the panel was HAMMERING Cruz for his defunding efforts.

[SC_Pete]

Courage is rare in Washington.

[rightwingextremist1776]

King has been, and always will be, a RINO piece of dog crap.

[Uncle Chip]

The little wimps in the Senate don’t like being told to put their big boy pants on.
