LIVE VIDEO

[reegs]

Fox and Friends showing clips of the filibuster out of context to try to portray Senator Cruz as nuts.

[onyx]

OMG
Damn them.
He’s a patriot hero and Fox does THAT?

[GoCards]

Makes me so damn mad. The media makes me so damn mad!!!

[onyx]

I wrote a scathing email to Bill O’Reilly, FWIW.

[onyx]

Fox is so in the bag for the GOP-E.
Want proof? Karl Rove is their guy!

[reegs]

They specifically played a clip where he’s talking about “Green Eggs and Ham.” While I haven’t been watching the filibuster, I’m sure there’s many more interesting and important sound bites they could have used.

[onyx]

I pray you’re right, but those weasels will try their level best to ignore Cruz and Lee’s overnight filibuster.

[reegs]

They keep harping that come noon-time, he has to give up the floor to Ried, so it’s pointless.

Oh for sure.

This has been a true Constitutional education tonight.

[onyx]

Shaking head.
They’re clueless.

If I did this right, a picture of Sarah Palin watching Sen Cruz this evening.

From her twitter feed. I think it’s a great picture

[onyx]

Yes, that’s the correct link.
I posted that wonderful picture earlier in this thread.
It’s so wonderful, thank you so much for posting the link again!!!
Trig is getting to be such a big boy!!!

[Gefn]

When it’s over I’m going to make a big pot of coffee, and read the entire thread.

Then I am going to email Mr. Cruz and thank him for restoring my faith in politicians.

Then I’m going to sleep. ;)

How long could Obama last in this forum? Ive learned something from everyone who has spoken. Obama=Plunder

[onyx]

LOL.
God bless and keep you.
That’s a grand idea!

[thesearethetimes...]

I wish they were FRiend. It’d be a LOT easier to deal with them...

The hard truth is, that they are just another branch of the family, that believes that we are sheep, and that they are our betters : /

Thank You God, for patriots and statesmen like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. I pray that many eyes are opened by their efforts.

That Marxist couldn't fool anyone here for one minute!

Yes, I agree. Tonight has been quite the education. I've loved and cherished every minute. In fact, I've pulled an all-nighter!

[onyx]

Amen.

It’s a shame this couldn’t be in prime time.

Longest Senate speech since 1900. - C-Span

Wow! The crawler said that he isn't allowed to sit down. I guess he's been up all night, and he looks like he just started.
