Found this on facebook. Ted was reading Dr. Seuss to his children earlier. This is a nice, relevant version.

I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books!!
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this speaker, Nan,
I do not like this, ‘YES WE CAN’!!
I do not like this spending spree,
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free.
I do not like their smug replies,
when I complain about their lies.
I do not like this kind of hope,
I do not like it, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!!

I’ve watched the magnificent Senator Cruz most of this night from my comfy couch.

He must be our next president!

So very true butterdezillion. Something dems just can’t grasp. Oh, and those squishy republicans too. Just sad.

Mike Lee is drawing this back to the snake John Roberts.

How does Scotus rewrite the law?

Hey, Pollywog! The ol’ arthritis won’t keep us from watching (with admiration) Ted Cruz, now, for sure!

Great point bray. I will say again, those I know who have the misfortune of working with dense Durbin, say he is THE dumbest box of rocks anywhere. So yes, somebody made up that pathetic sob story.

I have far worse sob stories for these pukes, as I’m quite certain we all do.

I’m listening while hitting up twitter and Senator Cruz’s facebook. I’m tired but energized. If this man can stand against these vile men and women, I can stay awake and show my grateful support.

God Bless Mike Lee, This is at the crux of the argument.

Even if MSM wants to belittle and ignore this...history will not ignore or forget this.

I’m starting to thing the RATS are looking at Kaine ‘16 when Hillary fails.

The powers-that-be are not willing to cede power to anyone. They already defeated Hillary back in 2008 and for good reason, because Hillary was a threat to their rule. Hillary came with her own agenda. She refused to be an empty pants-suit. And that still holds true today. So the current power brokers in the Dem Party - the same ones who took Michigan delegates away from Hillary in 2008 and replaced them with Obama delegates - will be looking for another incompetent boob to sit as a figurehead while they continue to rob our country blind.

I actually think that Joe Biden has a very good chance of winning the Dem nomination. But Kaine is equally incompetent, so he has just as good of a chance. As for Hillary, she is dreaming if she thinks she can overturn this Chicago-based multi-billion dollar campaign machine.

Lee says Supreme Court effectively rewrote the individual mandate as a tax, vs a penalty which is how Congress wrote it.

The tax language did not originate in the House or the senate, but by five judges. This was a lawless act. This was a sad, shameful moment when they took the mantle of a super-legislative body which it is not.

Nice smackdown by Lee. He should make it personal and call out Roberts, personally.

Which is why the socialists are working so hard to rewrite the constitution.

Ha! A 62 year old hotel maid? More like a younger illegal named Maria — doing the job Judy’s not really doing. Judy’s at home collecting welfare.
