I saw that! Chuck Woolery asking him if he was awake and saying that he, Chuck, was old!

Twitter is STILL going strong, it makes me so hopeful!

This quote comes to mind for some reason:

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Winston Churchill

Oh, thank you! I want to see it too! I have antibiotics as of today, so on the mend. Just glad it wasn’t pneumonia. So many people around here already have pneumonia including my mom.

I cannot fathom that there are some freepers who think Ted Cruz is doing the wrong thing. I am flummoxed. Ted Cruz has done more leading in a month than the top 5 Congressional leaders have done in the last 5 years!

When is the last time the base was excited about something the Republican leadership was doing? I cannot even remember.

Ted Cruz forced Boehner, Cantor and others to get defunding through the House. Republican “moderates” were scared to death to vote against it. Why? Because they know Ted Cruz has the backing of the GOP rank and file, the TEA Party and the conservative base.

Ted Cruz has shown that the GOP leadership is a bunch of pansy wimps who never wanted to stand up against Obama and the Democrats. Conservatives are excited, the base is beginning to feel hope for the first time in 5 years.

So the RINO’s have to do everything they can to sabotage it, just to take Cruz down a notch. The GOPe leadership is not interested in winning. They see Ted Cruz leading this party and it bugs them to no end.

If the RINO Senators do not support Cruz it could really see this party split. The RINOs have absolutely no use for a conservative who actually means what they say. The RINOs have no use for a conservative who tries to undo one of the most unpopular leftwing statist programs ever created in this country.

Ted Cruz scares Boehner more than an upcoming election. Last year, weeks before the election John Boehner said that Obamacare was law of the land and would be funded. The looming election did not bother him. Ted Cruz and the TEA Party and the base are scaring Boehner now.

That is leadership.

I pray that enough people are seeing some of this.

Cruz and Lee have systematically destroyed the Rats, Rinos, black robed tyrants and the MSM on OBozocare and some.

If enough saw it, it will be a turing point.

I knew Moslems were exempt from Obamacare...they should not be...I was livid when it was announced.

Yep Muslims are exempt because insurance is "gambling".

Catholics believe abortion is murder, but are told they cannot opt out.
