I trust Cruz like I’ve never trusted any other politician in my life, INCLUDING Reagan. And he’s MY senator, thank God!

I am getting fed up with all the talking heads disparaging Sen Cruz. He seems to be one of the very few who are listening to the majority of the citizens of this country.

The best part is that he appears to be squeaky clean. If there was even a peck of dirt on him, you can bet the Rovians would have used it by now.

Time will tell but it appears that Senator Cruz does in fact follow through on his initial intentions.

You might say he has a very high NO BS rating.

Like damn near 100%.

It is no surprise that the communist agenda democrats and the go-pees are unraveling.

They’re predictable. It’s the jackwagons within the GOP that deserve the intensified scorn.

Did that weasel Ried call the provision to prevent a default “The Pay China First” provision?

That has to be exploited.

I distrust all politicians, him I distrust the least. Plus, he pisses Reid and McCain off. Godspeed Sen. Cruz!

I love how even Reid refers to it as “Obamacare”

People will spit the Kenyans name over this, just as they spit Hitlers.

Something I’ve predicted for years

First time I have listened to Cruz on the Senate floor. He did a great job.

I'm not sure about Rove. But I am sure that the Obama media will manufacture a scandal regarding Cruz if they have to. I have no doubt they are working on a several right now.

It’s early but Cruz/Palin ‘16 is rolling off the tongue pretty easily right now. The only question for me is if he should even try for the GOPe nomination or start the Conservative Party. I’m definitely leaning to the latter but they need to start NOW. It will be too late after Christie or Rubio steal the nomination.

They can manufacture all they want, if there is no truth in it we’ll find that out as well.

Being able to insert things onto a person’s computer could sure come in handy for those wanting to manufacture trouble for him...

Just sayin’...

It’s up on hotair.com Allahpundit confirming Cornyn & McConnell will vote against filibuster.

Cruz, on Hannity, just reported that the Friday vote is very important, to try for debate and requiring the 60 votes to do it, as I understood it.

This will be another phase to test the metal of the conservatives fighting with him.

Back to the phones. :)

Great speech—However Cruz has more faith in his fellow Republicans than I do.

I have no doubt that even if Reid allows the 60 vote rule he will find those Republican votes from the low life mother lovers sitting in the Republican Leadership.

I do not trust the RINO’s any farther than I can throw the Wookie.

He grabbed my attention during the Rand Paul filibuster when he spoke about opposing his party’s president (Bush) because it was the right thing to do. He sued on behalf of the state of Texas and won.
