The video below is of Ted Cruz on the Senate floor two days ago. The senator from Texas (and Republican presidential candidate) exposed the way Washington works: the games that are played, by both parties, and the lack of principles among Republicans. As Mark Levin puts it on Twitter: its a real must watch.
You wont see many senators taking on their own party like this, but Cruz isnt your average politician. He has made a name for himself because of his willingness to stand alone: Fiat justitia ruat caelum (Let justice be done though the heavens fall).
This speech is a great example of that principled attitude: hes taking on President Obama, the Democrats and perhaps even mostly the GOPs leadership, who are more interested in playing games than doing what they promised voters theyd do. Note how he exposes John Boehners strategy to announce his resignation but to use his remaining weeks in Congress (hell be gone in a month) in order to fund President Obamas priorities.

Let’s play oxymorons!
“Republican Leadership”
If Ted Cruz's name was John McCain, the Men Seeking Men mediums would herald him as a maverick for chastising his own party's leadership.
If one cannot listen to the full-hour speech, please listen to as much as possible then slide the fader to the right to hear how things ended. Cruz said something important when denied more time to speak.
Here’s the direct link to the video you’re trying to get hits for:

Steal much?
This speech is going to the history books. It’s truly a tour de force.
He should have ended the speech by saying “Obama delenda est”.
Whatever happened to the budget process anyway? Why does it always come down to a Continuing Resolution or a Omnibus Spending Bill or some other such emergency measure?
This speech is a must see, if you are even slightly astute about political machinations you will not be able stop listening, it is all there folks, without using the word what Cruz lays out here is in my opinion nothing less than TREASON by the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uniparty.
If everything Ted says is true, and I believe it is, then the Republican Party today is nothing more than a criminal conspiracy. K Street should henceforth be named “Bribery Street”.
Thanks
And why is the Senate even making a budget. That’s a sole House function constitutionally.
Bfl
For later bump
Thanks for the direct link
and WOW!
If you don’t have time for the entire speech, catch the last few minutes and you will MAKE time to hear it all.
How I wish he was resonating in the polls.
Thanks, just listened to the whole thing (until it cut off, wish I knew where to hear the close). This messed-up country doesn’t deserve Ted Cruz, but it depserately needs him. He just said everything we here talk about, he voiced my frustration better than I ever have. I wish I could vote for him every day of the week and twice on Sundays (and it was interesting to hear him name the senators who voted no on his second, I believe that’s what he called the procedure he tried to use in committee, because Thad Cochran, my-puke spit-senator was one of them).
What a turn-around for the good could be made if only Cruz got elected to the White House, but he’d need to have it prayed over by a team of prayer warriors to get rid of the demonic presence which it has housed since the advent of Hussein and ValJar.
Dear God in Heaven, please, I pray for You to have mercy and patience on this country for just a little while longer yet, and let Senator Cruz be elected, to give is one more chance to be “one nation, under God”, before You pass the judgement on this country which we richly deserve.
Yes it is, and the pity of it that I can believe that the majority of his fellow senators are so corrupt that the most they could get out of it was to roll their eyes or look at their watches. I want to see every one of them when the day comes that every creature has to bend the knee before God and admit that He is Lord.
