“And on both of them, the answer is the same as it was on guns; it’s the same as it is on stopping amnesty, which is the American people have to rise up and hold every elected official accountable, Democrat and Republican,” he added. “Every one of us, including me.”

And how do we the people hold elected PsOS accountable? Email them? Call them? Snail mail them? Big deal, they pay no attention. Try to elect better ones? They lie to get elected. Open primaries. The R party gives creeps the money, etc. Or they just lose their moral compass and spine when they get to deecee and get blackmailed or threatened.

Limbaugh replied that “the American people ought to have a political party that’s willing to stand up and join them in stopping this, too, and right now, they don’t think they do. They’ve got you, they got [Utah Sen.] Mike Lee, a couple or three others. Everybody else they see is caving.”

Exactly. (Daniel Greenfield's recent article about Schizophrenic Elephant, the reason why the R party is the steaming pile that it is comes to mind.)

“Well, I agree,” Cruz said. “Sadly, right now, the people who are leading the fight to stop the effort to defund Obamacare are Republicans. It’s not Democrats. That’s a sad state of affairs. I hope it changes. I hope the Republicans stop trying to prevent us from defunding Obamacare and, instead, we come together — and the only way they will is if millions of Americans go to DontFundIt.com, speak up and demand that our elected officials listen to the people.”

I wish I was optimistic that that would have any effect, but I don't.

At least he is holding firm on everything that is important, including Illegal Immigration.

The same cannot be said for many in the Senate, including Rand Paul with his Amnesty plan.
