true, but there is a lot to be said for choosing the right time to try. If a motion to strike occurs, and succeeds in removing the defund portion, you have just handed a clean CR to the president. I read earlier today a conservative writer decrying something to the effect of ‘democrats continue to patiently play chess while the republicans run around screaming and throwing checkers’. I fear only personalities will come out looking good, but on the whole conservative interests will be hurt. But, perhaps there is more gamesmanship going on behind the scenes by Cruz and co than i realize.
I can't stand Boehner or Cantor!
They stand for nothing except self-preservation!
Cruz is doing what he said he would do and the first one he made mad is McCain who can't see past "the senate rules" and seniority.
I didn't vote for Cruz to bow down to McCain. I voted for him to take on McCain and his buddies...and Boehner and his crew!
Most in Congress these days are more concerned about their committee seats and re-election than they are about the country! I'm sick of them! I rather lose in a fight than roll over!
