Kaine trying to play gotcha on whether it’s okay to shut down govt for the military, for the non-military, for whom?

Cruz- let’s just shut down obamacare!

They are shutting down the government!
~~~~~~~~

Sigh...If the govt shuts down, it will be the doing of Reid and Obama-—not the Repubs.

“Scare” will be used in all of the talking points tomorrow.

I posted this awhile ago:

Obama leans on Clinton as Obamacare implementation looms
http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/24/20679919-obama-leans-on-clinton-as-obamacare-implementation-looms?lite

Drudge’s headline for the article:
Obama: ‘Unprecedented effort’ to scare...

“Scare” will be used in all of the talking points tomorrow.

I hope that is the case. However, it’s been a how many hours now and still there has been what, 3 senators showing up? I honestly am so furious at this point, because I believe if ANY of us had the chance to be there and support him, we would. Everything would be on the back burner, and physically being there is important.

Kaine is a slimy POS, he is saying it is a bad thing that Cruz is doing what his constituents have sent him there to do things.

He is trying to “tempt” Cruz saying that all the popular kids are not wanting to repeal Obama Care.

Just checked in and heard Kaine use nurses at Ft. Belvoir who take care of wounded warriors being put on furlough....
This piece of crap using heroes whose boots he couldn’t lick to extort the American people to cede to slavery is my effing senator...
Done, night night.....

Sen Cruz should say to Kaine: “Why exactly are you here and who sent you?” Are you trying to trip me up so your SRM pals can twist my words into a sound bite that makes me look bad?”

The process has totally shut down, too.

Direct questioning to each other, rather than through the president of the Senate, should be stopped immediately IMO...

Yes, as demonstrated by Kaine’s gotcha questions; the reason for my comment.

What is Kaine yammering about?

Ted already stated that plenty of Dem Senators are in states that are trending Conservative.

Yeah, Caine is the latest goofball the Dems sent over in time for the 11oclock sound bites.

Ted’s holding his own very well.

Kaine trying to bring up the Rats who promised their constituency Obamacare. Cruz should mention how Obama changed positions based on what he told his constituents.

Cruz rocks!!! This is by far the best speaker in the government today.
