Liberal star Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants a vote on amendment that would strip language repealing a key provision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law restricting derivatives trading by government-insured banks.

And screw the Cromnibus! Yes, may Hillary's nemesis do this and pooch the whole deal such that congress does a straight CR to February with no additional funds to help Obamacare and Illegal Alien vote buying.

Reid: “I don’t see any reason why the United States Senate should suspend its operations while the American people are waiting for us to act,”

Of course, it wasn't petty when Reid buried and refused to consider hundreds of bills from the Republican House since 2010.

McConnell and Boehner keep forgetting they are supposed to be the opposition to Obama and the Democrats.

...

They intentionally come down on the side of Big Government and the Ruling Class. There is no forgetfulness or stupidity about it. It’s all treachery.

““This procedural tool will ensure that every Senator will be on record regarding the constitutionality of President Obama’s illegal amnesty,” said Cruz’s spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.”

THIS is why I like Cruz.

...

Cruz is a genuine constitutional lawyer with a great deal of success arguing cases in the Supreme Court, unlike the poser in the White House.

Their role within the Uniparty was to pretend to be part of the opposition.

Since first hearing anything of Ted Cruz, has he wavered or done anything to make you think he is not real and steadfast in conservative patriotism?

Cruz is a maverick because he sides with America.

"Apparently, the November election didn’t send Boehner and McConnell any message."

It sent a message, they just didn't get it. Like Gruber, they think we are stupid and if they ignore us, we will vote for them anyway.

No.

But I am fearful of having complete hope in any human being. However, I have complete hope in Jesus Christ and pray that He is working through Senators Cruz and Lee to get our country on track.

“This bill is not designed to help working Americans. It is designed to pay off all the promises made to lobbyists who funded campaigns over the past year,” Cruz said in his lengthy floor statement”

This is a message that will ring in the peoples ears.

I called and thanked them both!!! When noon strikes I’ll call Rubio and Nelson to implore them to vote against this stupid bill. Anything else I should cuss them out about that we’re facing today? :)

How can any country loving red blooded patriotic American not love this guy.

 

CRUZ 2016!

Cruz has been tried and tested, no need to fill the field with wannabe's, we need to get behind one candidate now, no repeat of 2012 candidates beating each other up for a year wasting multi millions of dollars and winding up with another loser like Romney.

Democrats oppose the bill but it’s all gonna be Ted Cruz’s fault. Got it.

(PS this is not an endorsement of the bill, just a commentary on the media perspective)

OMG.... Ted Cruz (My Senator) just gets more awesome with each passing day. I hope he makes life as much hell for Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, John “Cornhole” Cornyn and Lindsey Graham, as he does for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. No; change that. I hope he makes hell more so for The Pubbies than the Dems; they’re the ones with the power come January 2015.

GIVE ‘EM HELL TED!!!
