That was Gohmert - House Member from Texas. Cruz just stated that Gohmert was on the floor in support.

With all due respect, Rick Perry needs to do more than merely “tweet”! Rick Perry would have been our choice, if a back surgery, and pain meds didnt make him sound like an idiot on one debate! Rick is a good man, and one we NEED on our side! He has my support, and frankly, I hope he DOES run again!

did you guys see this already? RNC supports Cruz! Maybe I missed it so sorry if it’s a dupe. Some of you guys have been giving the RNC the business (and they deserve it)...maybe it had an impact?

(from another Freeper thread)

“Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus backed Sen. Ted Cruz’s anti-Obamacare quasi-filibuster Tuesday, possibly sending a message to senior GOP leaders who are criticizing Cruz’s tactics in defunding Obamacare.

Cruz is speaking against Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid’s plans to hold a vote on a stopgap continuing budget resolution Wednesday, where Reid is expected to strip out language from the House version of the budget resolution that defunds Obamacare. Cruz doesn’t want the vote to happen until Obamacare is definitively defunded — without Reid’s expected changes.

“In a fight between Harry Reid and Ted Cruz, I will stand with Ted Cruz any day,” Priebus wrote in an email Tuesday headlined “I stand with Ted.” ”Today, Senator Cruz has taken the fight to defund ObamaCare to the Senate floor. I hope you will join me in standing with him in solidarity.”

“As Republicans,” Priebus continued, “we must remain true to our principles and fight to protect the American people from this reckless law.”

Priebus’ endorsement of Cruz is especially notable, considering that Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he does not support Cruz’s attempt to block a vote on the House bill, which Cruz is pushing for because of Reid’s expected changes to it. Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Lindsey Graham have also come out in opposition to Cruz’s effort to block a vote on the bill.”

Be glad to have you, even before then.

Anyone that can bring hounds and rounds is ok in my book.

When the RNC sends me something I send it back with a note telling them I will never send them any more money. I happily gave money to Ted Cruz today.

You’re probably right and I don’t trust the GOP either. I still consider it good news.

No, The Republic of Texas 2022.

It is after America collapses in 2016 Texas buys its way out and becomes the most powerful country in the world due to free enterprise and small government. It is a great and educational story.
