Because they finally see that they will be irrelevant as a legislative body or as of substance of any kind if Hussein gets his dictatorial way on this.

They are breaking out the lies and the “unnamed sources” now in their desperation. This is just as fake as last nights’ story that the Speaker told “unnamed R’s” that he would extend the debt limit.

We will see...

Time will tell, however; since heavy constituent pressure seems to be the only thing that gets these turds to do the right thing and grow a back-bone, it behooves us to keep that pressure up and let them know we are watching their every move.

This is great. Now is the time for the winnowing and sifting. Now is the time to see just who will defend liberty and just who would... rather not.

We will either become slaves compelled through the force of government to buy something we choose not to (Obamacare), and fund murder via abortion, or we will live as free men. Free from the tyranny of Obama and the Democrats who seek to forever enslave us along with future generations.

Maybe they should tell the whole story. The are pissed at Cruz because he is fundraising off of this and he is going after both squish republicans and rats.

The squishes are concerned about their jobs. This has nothing to do with policy.

He should have responded that 'the reason we are here is because a vote you all took last week that Gave Reid the authority to pass legislation with 51 Votes that The American Public does not want. Are you here representing the American People or your own self interests?'

Let the cheese eating surrender Monkeys stew on that.

Ayotte voted against universal background checks, so she was on the right side of that vote.

She has been a disappointment ever since, however.

I agree.

What short memories you all have today.

If it wasn't for Senator's Cruz efforts to flush out those who hypocritically stated they were against Obamacare and yet did nothing to stop it, Obamacare, today, would be going full-steam ahead.

And you would have been bitching and complaining about.

Ted Cruz forced the situation, he stood up and was willing to take the flack and quite possibly, stop it.

Were any of those people mentioned in this article doing anything constructive to stop Obamacare until Senator Cruz forced their hand with his actions?

The List of those who voted with Cruz to not vote for cloture vs those who voted with Dingy.

Johnson is closer to McCain than to Cruz and Lee.

That is all true, but thanks to whatever-Cruz, the overreach by Hussein, their own jealousy of their own power-that’s not what’s happening right now.

They haven't done anything constructive after either.

Yes, I am suspicious of Boehner & Cantor. They have never had a core. In a fox hole with them is no comfort to me.

We do seem to be causing an awakening though, thanks ONLY to Ted Cruz. But, Boehner has to go.

“GOP Senators Became ‘Lynch Mob’ Against Cruz In Private Lunch”

I’m sure the few gelded—but vocal—GOP-Ers among us will find this to be fascinating and welcome news.

For the rest, “DON’T TREAD ON US.”
