“.....I’m convinced that the vast majority have no shame......
Their time has come to be summarily booted. In fact, for many, it’s long over due.....”

You’re right...perhaps the what I’m looking for is they need to feel embarrassed in light of this outstanding stance Cruz and Lee have done...and shown all what it means to be true statesmen who speak for “we” the people.

Though of course we know they can be slow on the uptake.....but this should really blind side them.

She is very much against any type of religion, or the idea of a God.

I would have to disagree. Such an opinion would make her anti-God. But from what I've seen, she really had no hard feelings on it because she truly was atheist. The people I see pushing themselves off as atheists today actually do believe in God when it comes down to it. They just don't like Him.

He might have a catheter.

Hopefully, it is attached to a plastic tube that leads directly to Mitch McConnell's chair.

Why they don’t allow for reasonable bathroom breaks is beyond me.

Your beautiful words echo my thoughts but you put it perfectly! I can’t/won’t sleep either! I just refuse to miss a word of this historical, patriotic night. It’s truly educational and inspiring and they’re both speaking on personal levels. I loved hearing about both of their wonderful fathers and I’ve learned so much!

Ah, thank you so much for your very kind words, but anything I do here is a pleasure and done out of my love for Jim and you all. FR is the greatest. It’s our HOME!

My lousy back will never get better. I have scoliosis. I have to lie down flat from time to time throughout the day, and I do sit in a straight back chair at the computer and that helps. You’re so sweet and kind! God bless and keep you.

I'd prefer a jumper cable connected to a well charged auto battery.

Just received in my email, and not sure what this means:
Is Senator Wicker going to stand with Senator Cruz?


Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for defunding and repealing the President's health-care law. I am glad to have the benefit of your views on this issue, and I agree that this massive government overhaul of health care in America should be fully repealed.

The President's health-care law greatly increases the government's role in our health-care system, fails to lower costs, and raises taxes and premiums. The tax increases in this law will cost the American public more than $675 billion over the next ten years. Skyrocketing premiums and co-payments will limit access to doctors for too many Mississippians. I support lower premiums and patients' freedom to choose their providers. I believe in workable solutions that empower patients – not unelected bureaucrats – in their health-care decisions.

Already in the 113th Congress, I have joined my colleagues in introducing numerous bills to repeal or defund all or part of the President's health-care law. I am a co-sponsor of Senator Ted Cruz's bill to prohibit funding for this detrimental law. As a member of the Senate Budget Committee, I offered an amendment during the consideration of the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget that would have defunded the President's health-care law and prevented $1.8 trillion in new spending for its implementation.

My repeal amendment, which was blocked by Senate Democrats, would have prohibited the use of taxpayer dollars to implement the 2,700-page law and its 19,000 pages of regulations. These countless rules, mandates and taxes will slow the economy and grow the government, stifling job creation and adding uncertainty to an already fragile economy.

Be assured I will continue to work in Congress to defund and repeal the President's harmful health-care law in its entirety and replace it with meaningful solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever assist you.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Roger F. Wicker
U.S. Senate

Rubio just came back. I really liked Rand Paul’s filibuster, but this has been over the top. I’m so proud that Ted Cruz is my Senator...sorry I can’t say the same about Cornyn.

Oh, you’re so fortunate to have Senator Cruz!
He’s absolutely the very best.
One in a trillion!

Cornyn’s days are numbered.

I’m praying y’all have a good Tea Party conservative to run against him in the primary!
