I have called telephone numbers of 24 Senators in the last two hours - all lines are ringing busy and all mailboxes are full. Shame on them! Cornyn needs to have his butt kicked right up between his shoulders for not supporting Cruz and those of us in Texas.

He is reaming McConnell. Politely and with no names, of course!

While he's at it, I hope that Cruz calls for a return to regular legislative order.

Reid has refused to pass a budget since 2008, which has bottled up the regular order. Without a budget, the two chambers cannot meet in reconciliation committees to hammer out the differences.

Instead, Reid prefers to ignore the budget requirement and require this game of continuing resolutions, keeping Democrats from going on-record with supporting funding of this or that.

It's amazing that DC insiders like Krauthammer have gotten so cozy with this irregular order that they now ridicule those who want a return to regular order instead of blaming Democrats for their original unconstitutional acts.

A Sarah Palin tweet.

Looking forward to speaking with Neil Cavuto on Fox at 4pm ET about the #DefundObamacare efforts.

I finally got to leave a message for Cornyn at his DC office: "If you vote for cloture, prepare to be primaried".

God bless and keep you.
I got through to my two, Wicker and Cochran, and their clerks were NOT happy.
I’m calling them for the second time right now.
Shame on both for taking the weasel way out with Cornyn and McConnell.

They’re against Ted Cruz, period.
Cruz has their number = establishment RINOS.

You might try their local offices.

Agree. Cornyn = Coward. I think Sen Cruz is kicking his butt, right now ;)

The French Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Just like the Dems walked out on the Benghazi families, “our” side doesn’t want to listen to the truth of OdingoCare.

Had same thought.

Excellent comparison. I will hold the same lack of respect for these cowardious republicans as I do for those democrats.

Lindsey Graham ... cocktail party animal.

http://www.politico.com/click/stories/0909/washingtons_biggest_party_animals.html

Though he once described himself as a “loner,” Sen. Lindsey Graham is one social senator. He can be seen everywhere from The Week forums — in support of his pal Margaret Carlson — to the Friends of Scotland Caucus cocktail reception. He’s the perfect guest: personable, knowledgeable, powerful and handy with a one-liner. The real plus? He can get along with Democrats.
