A source in Congress tells Breitbart News that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn are using their leadership positions to pressure other Republicans to oppose Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in his campaign to defund Obamacare.
"Right now in the Senate, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are actively whipping Senators to shut down debate on the House continuing resolution so that Harry Reid can gut it with just 51 votes, a senior congressional staffer with intimate knowledge of the situation said in an email to Breitbart News. Unbelievably, they actually are leading the fight to fully fund Obamacare.

They're being to clever by half, and they seem to be blind to how others are onto it.

Three words: Senator-For-Life.

Let them know how you feel about the treatment of Cruz by RINOS and his effort to defund Obamacare.
This is not about Obamacare. This is about who is in charge of GOP.
Done. And called Cornyn but can’t even leave a message now (I did yesterday).
Thanks!!!!!
Think about the decision-making in DC since the House bill was submitted. The DNC and the RNC has probably been making lots and lots of money in donations from those deep pockets to garner points here and there. It is not a surprise about McConnell and Cornyn — they are beholding to the word on K street.
Is Gohmert considering a run for the Senate??
McConnell & Cornyn hiding in the girl’s bathroom!!! Pubbies....broom them both!!! Useless human beings, traitors!!!! WWW.DONTFUNDOBAMACARE.COM
Like Sarah said..."...a little reminder to Republican senators up for re-election in 2014: Moose season ends soon, allowing more time on one's hands. So, we'll be watching your votes very carefully this week."
It's more a case of people trying to get him to do it.
I’ve emailed both Senator Cornyn’s office AND the National Republican Senatorial Committee. I don’t know if it will help. Bruised egos are not easy to persuade.
This is why I say the conservatives in congress should break from the rinos and caucus by themselves. Either the rinos will join them, stand alone or caucus with the democrats. Either way, the rinos lose all their power. Once the democrats don’t need them, they won’t even talk to them. This would also force the McCains and Grahams to show their true loyalty and change to democrats.
As it is right now, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
“-—a source-—”? shaddup. If you got no names you got no story. Here gooooeeees the BS flag. Whhhheeeee
Great job!
Sometimes I feel ... like I’ve been tied to the Whipping Post. Oh Lord I feel like I’m dying.
“No pain, no gain!”
Sham pain to our friends,
And real pain to Old-Style Republican politicians.
The Democrats and Obama , who cased the disaster in the first place, will skate free and the Republicans will be left holding the bag and the blame for all the woes that Obama Care will bring.
If Republicans relent and fund ObamaCare, then the Democrats and Obama own the disaster and and the Republicans have fought the good fight and lost to prevent Obama Care from going forward.
The Republican’s cannot stop ObamaCare by defunding it regardless, all they con do is allow themselves to be blamed by Democrats who will scream - Obama Care would have been a massive success if it were not for Republican’s obstructionism.
The low info voters who already hate the GOP will buy into that Democrat excuse and Democrats will win blame game as they always do and Republican’s will end up owning the blame for the impending ObamaCare disaster.
Count on it.
