Cruz: Today’s vote shows both parties aren’t listening to the American people

Holder orders that we BOW to the hated EXEMPT.
Here they come, now.

There's only one way the politicians are going to listen to the American People. The people must take charge of THEIR country once again by throwing out the bums who don't abide by the Constitution and don't keep the size of government in check. Voting them out and the believable THREAT of throwing them out is the only language politicians understand.

A saying I think is worth repeating:

With few exceptions, politicians who are not held accountable by the people will be corrupt.

(Thanks to Milton Friedman for his insights and inspiration along these lines.)

“It's hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”- Thomas Sowell

care so much about being praised by the Washington media

That and not rocking the boat so special interest lobbyist continue to line their pocket.

[Norm Lenhart]

Well Ted that’s unfortunately because a bunch of voters are determined to send the idiots back to DC...and I quote... NO MATTER WHAT.

They are filled with tough talk and patriotism until it comes time to put their principles first. Then principle gets flushed, fear rules the day and then after returning the people fighting you to power, they go on the internet and complain about it.

Oh, and blame all the evils in the world on people that DID stick to the principles people like you stand for.

Asked whether he thought McConnell should be replaced as the Republican leader in the Senate, Cruz said: “That is ultimately a decision, in the first instance, for the voters of Kentucky to make.”

“After five years of out-of-control White House spending, including a jobless, trillion-dollar stimulus, now is hardly the time to give the President carte blanche to continue his spending spree. I voted against raising the debt ceiling because we need sensible reforms to cut down on spending and restrain Washington going forward.”

In a surprise move nearly 40 minutes in to the procedural vote, McConnell voted in favor of advancing the bill. Texas’ John Cornyn, the Republican whip, then joined him. Both senators are up for re-election in 2014, and McConnell faces challenges from both his left and right, heightening the pressure he faces on nearly every move he makes in the Senate.

This is the normal status-quo Traitorous, Democrat Collaborating, Trojan Horse behavior of John Cornyn and Mitch McConnell, say one thing, and then do another
