Cruz, Corker clash on Senate floor (Corker to vote with Reid, Democrats on cloture today)
Wash Post ^ | 9/26/13 | Ed O'Keefe,

Posted on 09/27/2013 4:31:05 AM PDT by jimbo123

UPDATE 7:54 p.m.: During an interview with The Washington Post later Thursday, Corker disputed suggestions that he appeared angry during his exchange with Cruz and Lee. "I candidly enjoyed it very much," he said. "I think it's very commonplace, especially on an important bill like this that people care about, for people to be discussing tactics and the best way to end up with a good policy outcome, which obviously all Republicans want to see happen."

Tennessee has a history of its politicians exhibiting dissociative identity disorder symptoms.

I was in a fish store recently and told them about my snail problem. He told me there was a chemical I could use that would kill anything without a spine. After I left I realized that I have to be very careful with it; it would be devastating on elected republicans.

The liberals were out in full force with their comments on this article in the Washington ComPost. They were praising their newest convert, Rep Senator Corker, and trashing Cruz and Lee.

Porker is against obamacare, that's why he will vote to give Hairy Greed the power to strip defunding out of the bill. I despise these republicans as much as I despise democrats.

“THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT OBAMACARE IS NOT TO FIGHT AND TO DO WHAT HARRY REID SAYS. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY!”

Corker loves communism apparently and is willing to give in. Way to poop on all those folks who fought against it so many years. Just give in. Yup.

No principals.

I think I would despise the turn-coat republicans more. They’re supposed to stand for your principles - the democrats are known opponents and you expect them to be against you.

IIRC, Chattanooga conservatives tried to warn Tennesseans about Corker, but unfortunately they didn't listen.

“IIRC, Chattanooga conservatives tried to warn Tennesseans about Corker, but unfortunately they didn’t listen. “

The other big problem is we had two strong conservatives running against him in the, each with an ego that was larger than the rest of his brain. They split the conservative vote and let him win. This time it looks like we may have gotten a bit smarter with the Alexander campaign.

Right about the split allowing the liberal to get into office.

Let’s defeat him this time.

PS: Never forget the other liberal senator was Poppy’s Sec. of Ed. and was “given” the nomination over a more popular conservative who tried to be a team player by stepping aside. He was subsequently one of the two conservatives that split the vote.

The Pub establishment didn’t like him or want him in DC because he led the impeachment charge against Slick Willie, an unforgivable in the eyes of the GOP elite.
