Senior Senate Republicans lined up Sunday to rebuke Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for attacking Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, an extraordinary display of intraparty division played out live on the Senate floor.

As the Senate met for a rare Sunday session, Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and John Cornyn of Texas each rose to counter a stunning floor speech Cruz gave on Friday accusing McConnell, R-Ky., of lying.

None of them mentioned Cruz by name but the target of their remarks could not have been clearer....

Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and John Cornyn of Texas
Three Blind Mice.

No, three nickel plated assholes...

Did you contact your Senator today...yes, on Sunday!...as McConnell tries to ram the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank through today as an amendment to the Highway Bill, so that the struggling Middle Class taxpayers will underwrite loans for their big campaign donors like Boeing, Microsoft and other crony capitalists.

Texans, contact Sen. Cornyn who will do anything to help McConnell break Sen. Cruz. Cornyn is a cowardly sellout and a blight on the reputation of Texas.

Man, we tried our best to find someone to replace him in 14.

An answer found as to why the turtle is SUCH good friends with King Hussein....They BOTH LIE!!

Mitch, go back to Kentucky by way of Mississippi. You’re no longer welcome in DC. Nor or you crony criminal friends. A Tsunami is coming! Put on your trunks.

Senior GOP Senators are ignorant and stupid.

[...but whem it comes to brains and trustworthiness, he has no peer...]

His amazing rebuttal to the entrenched Senior Senate republicans was one of very best I’ve ever heard but we won’t be hearing much about it from Fox Network/Facebook/Washington Cartel until AFTER their biased polling is finished.

Then Brit will claim...’Hey, it wasn’t us that put Cruz in last place it was the peoples choice’.

Any senator who has been in office more than one term must be voted out, if not in the primary, then in the general.

[Savage Beast]

I agree. Would anyone expect anything else from these self-serving RINOs? Kick ‘em all out! Every last one of ‘em!

[Theodore R.]

“Senior Senate Republicans”: three of the most vile words in the English language.

Orrin Grant Hatch: Utah’s great error dating to 1976!

Of course, Cornball is a sello-ut, but people in TX have a hard time spotting a sell-out.

[RetSignman]

[Any senator who has been in office more than one term must be voted out...]

Today’s unbelievable actions in the senate backs that up, the republican ‘leaders’ virtually censured Ted Cruz without a full body vote.

Damn them all.

    Ted Cruz Ping!

    If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
    Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

    CRUZ or LOSE!

[Fiddlstix]

You Got That Right!

[Democratic-Republican]

People are really hyperventilating. I do hope they have access to a good supply of brown paper bags.

This is the green age and these RINOs help pass stupid green laws. I recommend they save the trees and use recyclable plastic.

They hate when Truth peeks its head out - it endangers all of them. They are too cowardly to take a real swing because they know Cruz was spot-on and they are just as deserving of his scorn as McConnell.

The roaches are finding the extra light annoying.

GO CRUZ!!!
