If the Obamacare regulations were printed on toilet paper, we could save the people of Venezuela.

If the Obamacare regulations were laid end to end, we could walk to the moon.

Mississippi Ping!

Both of ours are going with McConnell and Cornyn as of right now.
Blast them with calls and e-mail and don’t let up!

OH CRAP...

Cruz just committed a MAJOR NO-NO!
He dared to mention The Cocktail Party Circuit!!

The Sheeple mustn’t know how power is REALLY brokered in D.C.

It’s a good thing the Mainstream Media won’t be mentioning this, eh?

[Lucky9teen]

This speech, the words behind it, knowing Ted means what he is saying, and what it all represents....literally brings tears to my eyes.

THIS is what a representative looks (and sounds) like!!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Yeah, but I bet all of the offices are tuned into C-Span2. hehehe!!!

[LeoWindhorse]

I love this guy

a true American patriot

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Yeah, but I bet all of the offices are tuned into C-Span2. hehehe!!!

[RKBA Democrat]

I stand with Ted!

[Red Steel]

C-Span2 crawler:

“Reid says a procedural vote on this CR will take place at mid-day Wednesday”

No Reid, it won't be if Cruz is joined by Lee and a few others in relief.

[rainee]

I just busted out laughing..cocktail parties! ha.
Tells it like it is, bravo Senator!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ted Cruz is the one bright light in the GOP..if it wasn’t for Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin I really dont know where the GOP would be right now. Cruz is giving me hope that he can save the party

[RKBA Democrat]

Rand Paul had better be making an appearance.

[Stonewall Jackson]

An article on Drudge says that he can only do this until tomorrow at noon due to Senate rules.

[tallyhoe]

Should we call Harry Reid and tell him we support Ted?

[rainee]

If Lee, Paul join, would be epic..

Rubio probably playing poker w/Juan in the cloak room.

[Political Junkie Too]

The CNN newsblondes are smearing Cruz as a “political opportunist trying to make a name for himself, because nobody likes him”. That’s almost a verbatim quote.

So for once, CNN is actually reading Republican talking points for a change?

Thank you Ted Cruz! You are one of only a very few, in Washington today, who give some of us hope our nation can may yet survive.

Your hard work, dedication and courage, will be remembered.

[trubolotta]

They wouldn’t know what to do on a date with a guy who has balls. Unlike Mr. Weiner, Ted doesn’t need dirty pics for us to know he’s a man.

That's great! I'm camped here and appreciate listening to Cruz and seeing quips like this. Wouldn't miss it for anything.

Looks to me that Senator Cruz is knocking it out of the park.

I am not surprised, but I am extremely disappointed that he finds himself speaking to empty chairs. The French Republicans are nowhere to be found.
