Mike Lee (UT) is doing a bang-up job with informing folks on “voting for cloture is a vote for OdingoCare”. God bless this man.

Wow!

“He [Gohmert] flew to Washington just to stand with Cruz...!”

We won’t forget that either!

Yes Cruz is impressive...I am enjoying how he is speaking....it’s like we’re at a round table with him and he’s speaking to us all as equals....yet at the same time he is distinctive. Really like this man.

Reid cannot “strip the defunding”. De-de-funding is FUNDING, which the Senate has no power to do.

The key is the House standing firm until Obama has no choice but to sign a CR with no Obamacare money.

I wonder how my parents, grandparents and great grandparents made it to old age *90’s for the majority of them* without running to a doctor for every dang thing!

We are a sick nation, in more ways than I can even count.

Thanks for the update on Gohmert being in the Senate audience.

He is always on the straight and narrow.

Mike Lee just finished. Cruz on now.

I can’t imagine standing and talking this long and making sense doing it!

I brewed a strong pitcher of iced tea, strong tea revs me up even more than coffee.

Hopefully Cruz can get some coffee. I have such respect for this man. His girls have something to be very proud of in their father.

Rand was there earlier...but you can’t tell if they left the building or just stepped out altogether....who knows what’s coming in the next hours?

Lee of course is there....someone mentioned two democrats...but I didn’t see a room scan to identify anyone. Last count I was aware of ..5 in the room.

i am impressed that Congressman
Gohmert made a special trip-—can’t
understand why there aren’t more
House and Senate members there.

just be there-—that’s all that’s required...
Senator Cruz is willing to do the heavy
lifting.

Exactly my point.

I watched the entire Rand filibuster, every last second of it. Ted was there in it’s entirety sans interviews.

Where the heck is he? Seriously, this is not working for me.

I’m tired of the good cop/bad cop crap I’m hearing is behind this. Get with the people you idiots, stop the coming crisis, it’s not going to be pretty. Anyone paying attention knows it, feels it and some fear it and other welcome it.

Agree...it’s like Sen Cruz has a list of all of MY questions and is personally answering each one!
