"Your friend, Mr. Lincoln had his Taylors and Paines. So did every other man who ever tried to lift his thought up off the ground. Odds against them didn't stop those men. They were fools that way. All the good that ever came into this world came from fools with faith like that....
Remember what you said about Mr. Lincoln? You said he was sitting up there, waiting for someone to come along. You were right. He was waiting for a man who could see his job and sail into it, that's what he was waiting for. A man who could tear into the Taylors and root them out into the open. I think he was waiting for you, Jeff. He knows you can do it, so do I.

The story is a diversion.
Who were the winners and losers of the legislation?

>>You learn that in kindergarten: You learn to work well together and play by the rules,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a close McConnell ally who was beaming after Cruz and Lee were handed such lopsided defeats. “Another thing you learn in kindergarten is to respect one another.”<<
The irony of that statement is palpable.

Well, I suspect Mr. Cruz and Mr. Lee attempted to play nice with the RINOS, but like good, little Nazis, following their Fuehrer, Obama, they ignored and downplayed the two real Republican conservatives, and are now out to fully demasculate them. The American public won’t be deceived but are there enough conservative Americans to still make a difference vote wise on ‘16? I pray there are, and hope for a miracle.

Not good move by Cruz, starting a battle he could not win that ends disastrously. One thing to make it close, but entirely different when he is so out of touch with senate colleagues that practically none stand with him. A lonely and shrill voice with no results.

I bet some you remember that story about Caesar and that river he crossed. For some reason this article just made that story pop right into my head.

You learn at home and church to tell the truth and be honest and above board in all things and trust God to reward you for doing so.

CC, I know you and I are on the same page. But, what happened today, is the primary reason why I support Ted Cruz. Look at these sheep! All sitting on their hands at the direction of the Turtle.
Cruz is the only presidential candidate who, if elected, will shear these sheep.

Looks like it’s time for me to send Ted some more $. He’s making all the right enemies.

Count the Senators that support Cruz.
Count the Senators the support Trump.
Notice something?
Yes, you get the same number.
Cruz is running for President and he is all in.

I can’t believe you are this ill-informed. Cruz was unmasking the criminals. Gee, buy a clue! So, he’s supposed to go along with the crowd ruining our country, just to go along to get along? I don’t think so.

Perhaps. He and Lee had counted on getting a recorded vote which is usually allowed as a matter of rote but not this time.
