Good observation.

It’s hard for a lot of us to know the intricacies involved here, sounds like the House can still act on this. Good.

Yeah, there’s still hope.

I think a lot of what pisses the GOP-e off is the fact they get angry that their voting constituents (us) are smarter and more well informed that the Democratic counterparts. I mean, if you’re a lib, all you gotta do is have a (D) next to your name and as long as you kiss enough media butt, your liberal supporters will come out and pull the lever, no matter what you do because if the media hides it, they don’t know any better.

Our guys on the other hand, should know better. They pull that crap (i.e. Amnesty reform, etc) and we light up the phone lines and make use of the primary system. Experience doing this has taught us some of those “complex” procedural rules Congress tries to pull on us to make us look like we don’t know what’s going on. We don’t give our RINOs cover like the Libs give their Blue Dogs. Look at Manchin, Landrieu, and Pryor. If Reid has the votes, it would not surprise me for Reid to give permission for them to oppose cloture, and all will be forgiven by their constituents because at the heart of every Democrat, the most important thing above anything else is winning and the “understanding” that they come from Red States where Dems wouldn’t normally have a prayer, and that anything with a (D) is preferable to an (R).

We, on the other hand, hold our people accountable and have long memories. I think the GOP-e really wishes we were just as stupid or ignorant and let them be.

Thank goodness for Ted Cruz. For the first time in a long time, we have a leader in Washington trying to fight for liberty. I’m still shocked he and Lee have had to almost single-handedly fight this alone. This isn’t rocket science what their doing.

Make no mistake..... If Obamacare is funded and implemented, it will be because Republican members of Congress decided to do it..... the Republican ‘House controls’ the fate of Obamacare...period!
