	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

“They would have attached it to a bill defunding the Environmental Protection Agency, “or some other non-essential agency.””

I agree although for the chance to get rid of the EPA I would take the risk that the Federal courts will handle Obama’s lawless edict, and just not vote for any funding bill thus killing the EPA.

That said the Democrats would likely not vote for a funding bill that did not fully fund the EPA. Further still Republicans should have staggered the funding deadlines for all theses ridicules and Unconstitutional agency so we can let them collapse one by one.
But Idiot John and Mitch had to give away everything for the whole year thus robing them of any chance to make any difference.

If John did not bring this compete failure and collapse of the legislative branch of Government upon us by way of his own choices dispute countless loud warnings and Objections to the sheer stupidity of the move I would feel sorry for him suffering such a humiliating defeat. effectively crippling not only his policy objectives but his office too.

John and Mitch gave up everything, when they surrendered the purse in the lame duck session. This is all they have left of that sole remaining and defining power of the legislative branch of government. They give even that up here and they will have nothing of value just a rubber stamp debating club, only able to offer what the enemy already wants.

Sounds about right but like others have said; why didn’t he bring this up at CPAC last week?

The only answer I can think of is he wanted to give Boehner and McConnell the respect of doing it their way first.

Is there a list of Senators on our side besides Cruz, Walker and Sessions?

We need a link to one that we add and delete from as needed.

I love Cruz, but this was evident from the get-go. Not surprising at all.
