Some people wont like anything Sen. Ted Cruz says. The do not like him on the Hill, they do not like him passing bills. Plenty were touched, though, when his filibuster turned into a bedtime story for his daughters. Isnt that breaking the rules by going off topic? No, says Cruz, because hes doing what hes doing for the children. Adults can enjoy it too, though.
Filling many hours isn't easy. @SenTedCruz now reading children's bedtime Bible stories on Senate floor to his daughters

@BethanyBowra @michellemalkin @SenTedCruz Liberal heads must be ready to explode.

Yep. These are bedtime stories, though, so were going to let the liberal heads explode in another thread.
A Biblical bedtime story from @SenTedCruz to his daughters. #love #MakeDCListen

A lot of people must be up after their bedtimes to make Green Eggs and Ham trend.
lol
I’d volunteer to read on the senate floor. I’d like to read Atlas Shrugged to the nation. Chapter I, The Theme....
“Who is John Galt?”
The light was ebbing, and Eddie Willers could not distinguish the bums face....
The best part was relating it to Obamacare. When asked if he wanted Obamacare he said, “I do not want it in a car, I do not want it in a jar,” (or so such thing) - very funny !
Green Eggs and Ham—if he didn’t have me in his corner before, he does now.
Maybe he should also read “The Emperor has no Clothes.”
This makes me sort of worried for Cruz; the left is gonna cruficy him and then boil him alive until his skin comes off over this.
I mean crucify, dang, what happens when you post without any sleep.
Maybe he should read the constitution to them. I bet they’ve never heard it before.
I do not like ObamaCare!
I do not like it anywhere!
You will like it! Have no fear.
Would you like it if we wait a year?
Not in a year! Not any time!
Do not waste the tax-paid dime!
You will get it, you will see!
You will get it or pay a fee!
Not in a year! Not with a fee!
Oh president, you let us be!
This health care plan you soon will saver!
Would you like it with a waiver?
Not with a waiver, not with a fee
I do not like this plan, you see!
I do not like Obamacare
It isn’t right! It isn’t fair!
LOL! Love it!
Nobody else wants it, either. I wish there’d be more support for him.
The problem is that Obama has the insurance industry on his side. It’s no longer a competitive market, they can charge what they want and the taxpayer will have to come through, and they have to provide no important services but lots of minor optional stuff (contraceptives, for example) that anybody could pay for.
That’s why there’s not more opposition to this.
Cruz should start reading from the Bible. That will really send the left wing wacko birds into a tizzy.
Awwww! What a nice daddy Cruz is. Lucky little girls. Lucky wife.
Lucky us if we get him as a presidential candidate in 2016.
Great! A new classic.
Others have suggested the best way to get this dead on topic is to simply read the Obastardcare law aloud.
Don’t be worried. The leftists (including RINOs) have been working overtime mocking Cruz.
They may be successful in destroying him, but Cruz has his place in history for standing up for the Constitution and the American people.
I’ve been watching his filibuster from the start and will probably fall asleep watching him. He’s handling it well.
I suggested ti my husband that he read the obamacare bill - all of it.
Have you slept through the last year? The left and the weak gop HAVE skewed him, top to bottom!
This man has courage in spades, it would be helpful if we all did.
I sent Teds staff a note indicating my rate increases and the worthless new provisions and deterioration of my coverage.
Every one should do so. He will have more interesting things to talk about for the next few hours.
PS - I love Madrid, been there twice in the last two years, can't wait to go back.
