Seems like grown up boys wouldn't be forced into anything. They are just angry that they got exposed for being what they really are.

the glass debt ceiling needs to be replaced by reinforced concrete
What debt ceiling?
I’ve not seen any number of a ceiling. The only # I’ve seen so far is that this is to cover 13 months till the next “reset” of the ceiling.
Until otherwise, I’m reading this as an unlimited blank check for over a year... the national debt can rise to any amount... $18 Trillion? $118 Trillion? Either one is “legal”.
Cruz’s critics are anonymous, I notice. Bleepin’ cowards.
Does anyone ever recall such terminology being used the last time there was a GOP president in the white house?
Any combination of eight of these that either voted for or didn’t vote
would have kept the colture vote from passing.
Barrasso (R-WY)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Flake (R-AZ)
Hatch (R-UT)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kirk (R-IL)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Thune (R-SD)
Not voting:
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
Our side never emphasizes that Obamacare is 100% Democrat Owned, that not one Republican voted for it.
It is what it is...Cruz Control!
Cruz 2016!
There are people out there?
Cockroaches don’t like the person who turns on the light.
•John Barrasso (R-WY
•Susan Collins (R-ME))

•John Cornyn (R-TX)
•Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
•Mike Johanns (R-NE)

Huh?
Republicans continue to believe they got a beat-down during the government shutdown. Federal workers got a paid vacation and Obama proved what an ass he is by shutting down the National Mall, etc. Meanwhile, Obama himself delays the implementation of obamacare, just like what republicans wanted. Cruz was right then and now as well.
It is becoming quite apparent that Cruz doesn’t want to talk about changing Washington. He wants to change Washington.
As usual Cruz does the right thing.
just goes to show the lengths that the GOP leadership will go to in order to protect the floundering Mitch McConnell
***********
Its always about THEM, not us.
But in the end the RINOs DIDN’T “protect the floundering Mitch McConnell”!
They forced him to vote for cloture when Cruz interrupted the Kabuki show.
Susan Collins and friends are clearing the way for the first female Senate Majority Leader next year IMO.
WSJ OpEd came out against Cruz today, but I’m glad he forced the issue. Make them own it.
I watched ‘Network’ the movie again last night. It’s worth watching again. You want to talk prophesy. I think it was made in the 70’s, and it is so in your face about what Hollywood is all about.
For the folks that work in entertainment, it had to be liberating to make that film, because in perpetuity they can point to it and say, “Look, we came out and told you with complete candor what we are about and you are still tuning in.”
The other striking aspect to it is the academic level of the vocabulary. Words like ‘oraculation’ are thrown around like you ought to know what they mean.
Refreshing, actually. The dialogue in the average film or movie is somewhere around the 5th grade level - today’s 5th grade level.
In the long-run, the idea that a short-term Government shut-down must be avoided at any cost, is absolutely absurd! Contrast the class of Business pundits, who wrung their hands at the idea of Cruz being able to block the debt limit extension, with the leading figures in American business in 1776, such as John Hancock, or the great Southern Planters, who not only accepted a temporary, really severe interruption of business, but the very real threat of being personally hanged, for the clear eventual benefit of their posterity.
We need to stop being on the defensive in these discussions. We need to take the fight to the compulsion driven neurotics who are betraying the American heritage, at every opportunity.
Sort out your priorities and standup to the hand-wringers, whose moral cowardice is destroying our children's future.
