Dems: It’s a penalty no it’s a tax no it’s a penalty no it’s a tax!

I call it an example of a language derived from the writings of George Orwell and Lewis Carroll called NewSense as in NEWspeak +nonSENSE.

In watching I now know what the “Closure” issue really means. I must say I have learned a lot, about what the “games” that are played in DC, really mean and how they affect the American Public.

1. Pass a bill that most people agree on...

2. Get a cloture vote with 60 votes

3. Propose an amendment that strips out everything but the title page and adds thousands of pages.

4. Pass this amendment with 51 DEM only votes.

5. Screw over the American people...

Beautiful prayer, thank you for posting this. Illinois here..with tears in my eyes I am so proud to see and hear two great patriots, Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Mike Lee. We march along side you. Down with the evil enemy, until the last one of them draws their last breath. I'm in it for the long haul. God bless America, my home sweet home.

And thank all of you FReepers who make me feel that I am not alone in this forsaken state of Illinois. Your commentary, your hard work, your crazy, wonderful humor and pics, they keep me reading and laughing. Good night for now.

Bottom line... Makes no sense to vote for Cloture as it is presented, knowing that it will take only 51 votes to pass it.

In other words...The House passed a bill that fund the gov’t by defunding Obamacare. Let’s vote on Cloture for that...

But no, the bill before the Senate has been changed.

If the republicans stand firm...and they do not vote for cloture...then basically it is very clear... the govt will shut down until they vote for cloture of the original bill.

WHAT IS IT THAT MCCONNELL, AND THE REST, ARE THINKING ABOUT THIS? DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE STRATEGY... THIS IS PLAN...THIS A BRILLIANTLY LAYED OUT APPROACH.

STAND BY TED CRUZ....

Senator Mike Lee’s father, Rex E. Lee, was the United States Solicitor General under the Reagan administration.

I said a prayer earlier this evening with the same sentiments. I would add an Amen to your prayer.

May the Lord hold Sen. Cruz in his hands, inspire his words, to speak to the people, and give strength to this Nation.

I am from PA but I call @SenTedCruz & @SenMikeLee my representatives. Too embarrassing to call @SenToomey & @SenBobCasey my Senators

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you
Here’s a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now ‘til we meet again
Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Good Night!

I think Kagan got to Roberts in the final hours of their decision.. Did she study hypnosis? 0bama sure was hot and heavy to get her on the court. And I’m SERIOUS!

Well (blush) thank you. If there was any doubt, these men are the real deal. I know that Sessions was on the floor for quite a time. Paul made a brief appearance and Little Dick did a drive by. Have any other Senators been there?

Here in Tenn. we have a Beat Lamar! rally (previously scheduled) on Saturday. Joe Carr has announced and this will be the fifth rally across the state to examine his bona fides.

My first question for him will be to ask if he understand what Cruz and Lee are doing. When I called Lamar!’s local office today, the staffer was clueless. She tried to assure me that Lamar! was working to defund.

I don’t know. That really puzzles me and the rumors about his adopted children and possibly Obumo having something on him.
