Hey Kaine, name one thing that is going right with Obamacare.

Just ask him to lie in your face because that's all they have now.

I heartily agree.

Here’s the email I sent him tonight:


Hon. Senator Blunt,

I am terribly disappointed by your failure to stand in solidarity today with those senators who not only possess a conservative voting record, but also possess enough courage and passion to stand strong on our last lines of defense against socialized health care.

No matter how badly conceived big government entitlement programs are, they sadly tend to stick around and worsen in this country. Surely you can see that when Obamacare goes into effect, this week’s still vibrant cries to “repeal it” and “defund it” will soon dissolve into “improve it by raising taxes.” Since you are one of this nation’s hundred most powerful legislators and since you have stated your support of cloture, you have revealed yourself to be a man who is actively leading our nation profoundly over the brink into European Socialism.

For you, given your position, to do nothing is 1) to turn your back on me, your constituent, 2) to sell out your country’s future and 3) to shame the historic underpinnings of our once free constitutional republic. Surely risking a government shutdown is not worse than the alternative, the onset of government-controlled and eventually socialist, single-payer medicine.

In light of your support of cloture, the fact that you have taken a “strong” stand on this issue before now matters little. If you will not stand now, when will you?

When it doesn’t really matter again, I suppose.

Sir, you have let Missouri down today. I will do my best to expose broadly your decision to abandon the conservative, constitutional values to which you regularly pay lip service.

Sincerely,
[ecinkc]

Cruz needs to shut this guy down. Another Repub on the floor should get up to work a tag team.

Cruz is dropping the hammer on him, grab the hook.

Agree. Kaine is still holding to the argument that because Obama won in 2012, the people want obamacare....Um, Kaine, have you read a few polls lately?

Now Kaine is encouraging Cruz to introduce reform ideas on healthcare.

Oh, please, how about we just stop the trainwreck?

At least Kaine recognizes the conundrum the Dems are in regarding the potential shutdown.

If I saw Kaine in a bar I would avoid all conversation, he acts Gay.

I just had some minor surgery and am dead tired....but Ted Cruz is hypnotizing me with his inexhaustible supply of new insights, new information, new inside stuff....all delivered with clarity, strength, emphasis....and none of the "ums" and "ers" supposedly great orator, Obama, falls back on when he's all screwed up for words.

I almost feel guilty hitting the hay...it's like I'm deserting the good Senator....silly, I know, but that's truly how I feel.

God bless you, Senator Cruz....and give you righteous strength and power during the long night hours.

VULTURES! Democraps must be on crack-—showing up late to try to trip Cruz up. They won’t do it. Ted’s a ROCK!

Soon, after Harry Reid has slept a while, he will show up to try and get Ted to say something bad for the MSM to digest and report-—Ted Cruz will have him for lunch.

Screw my senators and reps. What the hell are they being PAID for? Where ARE they? (I’ve written and called—telling them what I think of MY EMPLOYEES.)

The will of the body was expressed by one side and the people spoke in 2012 in a landslide. When will you fix this Frankenstein and how?

He’s trying to label Cruz’ stance as a “shut down” and to turn off the DefundIt talk. BS!

Kaine is offering all kinds of work together notions, which is code for play the game Cruz.

Get with the Old Boy Club!

Duckworth played the disabled card. After spitting on the Benghazi families, we might be able to push her wheelchair down the political staircase.
