I am waiting to see which rescumlicans voted for cloture.
So it was cloture to allow debate. Not cloture to vote on the CR.
Makes sense that it would be 100-0. After all, anyone in the GOP voting against debate is no better than the rats.
Cruz just told Rush it was an honour to read Rush’ father’s essay on the Senate floor. Cruz said it brought tears to his eyes.
They all did.
I love that Louie Gohmert. Heard him on Mark Levin last night and he was wonderful, and smart. Mark admires him as well. Go, Louie, GO!
Dan Coats = 1st surrender monkey
Dan Coats says he wasn’t there when the bill was passed and that voters made it clear that THIS was the issue they were concerned. He’s been hearing from his constituents.
Sounds like he’s defending himself....says he’s offered many changes...he wants it fixed, but his opponents won’t work with them.
Hey, Dan, how about you join Cruz and shut things down until they want to work with you.
Crap, internet down temporarily.
Says the hard truth is we can’t do it as a minority. We will shut the govt down if we don’t move forward.
LOSER - he’s going to point out all the problems with shutting down the govt.
That makes me feel better.
You got that right..it was palatable and distinctions chilling. Reids voice, soft spoken and hollow...reminds me of just what was said in the garden..."Has God not said"....and just as deceptive!
I'll be there for him if he does! Louie would make a great replacement for that worthless cow pattie.
My eyes watered up too. A combination of grief for what those men went through and grief for how far we have sunk with the skunks entrusted with the treasure of that sacrifice.
G-d grant me the strength to see my country led by such a man.
It was a vote to let debate go forward prior to cloture vote. It was unanimous.
Obamacare....that’s easy..and it hasn’t even been implemented yet...look at all the hours of workers who’ve been cut....the Insurance rates increased...the doctors leaving the field...people who won’t be hired....and that’s currently.....Cha ching cha ching cha ching!
My new litmus test:
Dear Senator “XYZ”:
Where were YOU while Senator Cruz was in the Senate - ALL NIGHT - doing the job We The People PAY him to do?
Your presence - or absence - is duly noted... and remembered.
Signed; Your Boss.
ah...thanks for clearing that up. Cruz keeps saying the real fight is ahead, culminating in the cloture vote, which he thinks will occur on Friday or Saturday.
Cruz (on Rush) sounds as clear and level-headed and calm and impassioned as he did yesterday at 2:40pm. Amazing.
Cruz is on his THIRD segment with Rush.
1) Asks people to go to the defund ObamaCare website
2) Call your senators
3) Light up phones, and Twitter, and FaceBook
He said, It needs to become more politically risking to do the wrong thing than to do the right thing.
Hey N, was up till 2:30 or so watching this drama, then up at 6 to see our great Senator Cruz standing tall against the snakes, rats, and Vichy republicrats! Isn’t Cruz awesome? He and Mike Lee are the only ones that deserve the ‘Honorable’ title! So proud of him!
Yeesh, here I am in the cube farm, and the thread’s moving too fast for me to follow between business calls.
So, the Senate voted to close debate on the CR, or what just happened?
Can anyone give us cube-dwellers the Readers Digest Condensed Version?
Harry Reid embodies what i would describe as typical of todays basic leftist democrat, A Complete weirdo Creep.
yuck
