Exclusive–Source: McConnell, Cornyn Whipping Votes Against Ted Cruz
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | September 23, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/24/2013 5:39:19 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

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.”

If you call GOP Senators they say:
“I am voting for the House passed bill that defunds Obama-care and I will vote against any bill that has Obama-care put back into it. I stand with House conservatives on this”


So what. Nobody with a brain is buying the GOP jive after 5 years of cheese eating surrenders to the Dems. They can say whatever they want while “leading” the party to failure again in 2014. These beltway GOP losers have lost every single election since 2004 when they don’t get strong conservative support. Now they are stabbing conservatives in the back again and are going to lose again.

Conservatives, it is time to stop complaining and take action.

Find the website of Matt Bevin, who is McConnell’s primary opponent.

Then, make a generous contribution so that Bevin can defeat the traitor McConnell.

Do it. Now.

If the GOP is not willing to fight an engaged battle over obamacare then the GOP OWNS it.

The internal Republican Party War has officially begun.

Prepare to live under a decade or two of Socialist Democrat Hegemony as we thrash this out.

the establishment are so stupid.

If this is funded and goes ahead then when we try to get rid of it in a couple of years the left will run AD;s of how that sick granny or kid will now lose their health coverage etc.

The establishment keeps losing and still they do the same crap.

“Unbelievably, they actually are leading the fight to fully fund Obamacare.”

And that’s why they need to be gone forever!

Hit the RNC also. Let them know that they will get not only NO support but that we will work against them.

Senators of the 113th Congress

Republican National Committee:
310 First Street, SE Washington, DC 20003
(202) 863-8500
Let them know how you feel about the treatment of Cruz by RINOS and his effort to defund Obamacare.

already told the RNC back in 2012 that they will get nothing from me anymore until they stop attacking conservatives who are the base, until they get decent candidates

I have contacted Cornyn’s office and was assured he would vote with Cruz.

On cloture? Or on the handwave vote for the bill?

If he votes for cloture, he owns Obamacare.
