Rush Limbaugh is going to play that famous clip wherein Alan Dershowitz describes Ted Cruz as one of the smartest and the most principled law students to EVER have gone through Harvard.

Alan Dershowitz on Ted Cruz ...

True but if Cruz and Lee aren’t gonna block it, it looks like the chances that the House as a whole will reject this bill are getting smaller and smaller by the minute.

It is true, this means conservatives simply need to gear up for the next round and come back harder next time.

Some times you must think out side the box. Cruz could not stop this event from happening only delay it for at least a little more than a day. When Obama Care starts to change their lifestyles and effects their incomes, maybe just maybe we might see change.

"The deal...would fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt-ceiling until February."

Heh, heh. Rumors of exaggeration started by chicks are cute.

Nope. I'll continue to call 'em like I see 'em.

Nothing has actually passed and been signed, but if the deal is as said, and goes through, then it's just until January.

I'll keep fighting, and not hoping for a cave like some here on FR seem to do.

They couldn't have blocked it for more than 30 hours.

Yup. Every time I think there’s a glimmer of hope they roll over.

On a financial website I frequent they just had an article titled “Conservatives fight their modern day Alamo... And lose again!”.

Didn’t read the article but can’t say I disagree with the title.

We’re toast.

We will?

I say that because right at this point in time, barring nothing less than a Red Sea-class miracle from the hand of Almighty God (and I doubt He will because this country has pretty much spit in His face for last 3 decades), it certainly looks like the Dark Side has won.

Oh well, at least we get to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas...and so do the parasites (using our money to pay for their turkeys and trimmings)....

Don’t come to Canada, it’s worse. Rather than going somewhere, I think it’s
time to make a stand for freedom.

McLame: "We're in a hole, we have to dig out and come up with a positive agenda."

Positive Agenda = More Government Spending

More Government Spending = Deeper Hole

Why? We’re not going anywhere. We buck up our friends and we hammer domestic enemies. We sabotage communists where we find them. One battle does not make a war.

Get strong, get local.

Only if you give up. How is the senate election going in NJ today?

I’m hoping these two libtards who are trolling FR get booted soon.

It would seem that there is no defense or explanation from the offending posters?

"I hope it is another 15 years at least before we have to go through this exercise again," McCain said. "We're in a hole, we have to dig out and come up with a positive agenda."

I'm sorry, McLame. Are you talking about the country as a whole or are you talking about your pathetic GOPe surrender monkeys?

How do you dig out of a hole when you keep digging it deeper?

The deal reached by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt-ceiling until February. It would require income verification for subsidies under ObamaCare, but otherwise leave the helathcare law untouched.

Funny, nothing in this sentence says "compromise" to me. What did the Dems give up?

Hardly?

Let's see. In this thread alone they (especially Cruz) have been called useless, morons, paper tiger, yapper, a useless twit, not a man.

Reminds me of the definition of a RINO: Someone who disagrees with you on any single thing or does anything you disagree with regardless of how insignificant.

Take you’re whine to the media tavern for your face time and camera shots. You will all fit in nicely on the victim channel pointing your powdered finger at patriots.

Under Senate rules, two Senators might not be able to stop the coup that is taking place, but they might be able to use their "face time" to point it out. Cruz has opted to give Harry Reid what he wants. If you're not disappointed by that, then I'm sure that you'll enjoy all the surrenders to come.
