Perhaps we should send Cornyn congratulations on his retirement cards?

Great idea! Let's include Lamar! and Lindsay.

[DrewsMum]

A primary challenger has to apply by December 9, no one has stopped up as far as i know

[JRandomFreeper]

That boy just lost a lot of votes in Texas. Primary Cornyn. I will NOT vote for him in the General.

Town halls have become quite entertaining as of late.

Don't forget the tomatoes... :-)

[GeronL]

Boehner does not want to do this, but his hand has been forced.

heh

[calicard]

They’re voting to strip the House CR of the defunding language.

They’ll send back a CR with Obamacare funding restored. Then it’s Boehner’s move.

Does the House HAVE TO take up the Senate Bill? Can/will Boehner pull a Reid and ignore it? Can’t they fund the government by individual bills and not touch Obamacare?

I’m searching for options.

Last I heard, Johnson was refusing to say.

[onyx]

No, sadly, Johnson voted with the demonic-rats and white flag republicans.
I kept a list as they voted.

Vitter

Now all these bastards that voted for cloture are turning around and voting against the stripping of Obamacare, knowing full well that their vote is all for show.

[txrangerette]

No.

See post #604

[onyx]

I do, too.

This is nothing but a “show vote.”

Damn them all to Hell.

[RedMDer]

Was that first count 47 NO?

[RedMDer]

Yep.

[A CA Guy]

There is also the glory of the recall.

Why not make that effort so they and future politicians get the message.

[Eagle of Liberty]

If they can get it removed then we will have ObamaCare on Oct 1..

Has to go back to the House....not that that is any good news...

[Deo volente]

Yes, they can fund the government piecemeal with individual bills, but I don't think Boehner will do that.

[nutmeg]

Great thread, Ken... Can’t believe how fast this one is growing!

[mrs9x]

Chicken-shits had an opportunity to put a fork in Obamacare, voted for cloture, then voted against removing the Obamacare language. Weasels.

[Tennessee Nana]

I counted only 44 Nos

how many Ayes were there

and yes it was just for show

If they really cared those 44 would have voted No for the cloture vote...

Where can a person contribute to a PAC that Senator Cruz controls?

Go to dontfundobamacare.com and donate. Look at the numbers. This is another reason some of these politicians are freaking out. Cruz, though the site I link to above, has the makings of expanding the Tea Party but more importantly he has the foundation to ORGANIZE the Tea Party. This is why Reid and others keep calling the Tea Party "anarchists" or "radicals". Because they see these numbers and they know what they mean.

Political power is all about numbers. A donation to the site above keeps the numbers supporting Cruz growing and it gives Cruz fuel to fight with.

Ted Cruz has done something astonishing. I am very impressed with him.
