Is Cruz going to yammer on or is he actually going to do something. He reminds you of Lindseed sometimes where he is all talk and no action.

Once, such a very long time ago, the Texas Senator Cruz, or is he really a Canadian representing Texans in the U.S. Senate, staged a filibuster.

“And I think the American people find it ridiculous,” the Texas Republican sneered. “That in response to an ISIS terror attack the Democrats go on high dungeon that we’ve got to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens.”

“You don’t defeat terrorism by taking away our guns,” Senator Cruz added. “You defeat terrorism by using our guns.”

And Cruz knows something about filibusters because in 2013 he also seized control of the Senate and shut down the government in an attempt to defund President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

During the 21-hour filibuster, Cruz read Dr. Seuss’ children’s book Green Eggs and Ham, and he compared support for the Affordable Care Act to Nazi appeasement.

"......where he is all talk and no action"

Seems to be a trait of 90% of the "R" Party. Don't forget all the talk from Trey Gowdy, Paul Rino, and John Boner.
