You’re right!

[Old Sarge]

I think there is a seed of good intention with this filibuster though.

For which the road to Hell is often paved.

Can Cruz be the kind of politician who,like Rodham and Odinga before him, simply got a first-term Senate seat to launch himself into the Whit Hut?

[onyx]

She’s just like us.
God bless and keep her.

[butterdezillion]

Hopefully he’ll ask another question - a longer one. If there’s a long question can Cruz have a potty and drink break?

[glennaro]

Not only will Cronyn lose the primary... more importantly his vote will hurt Americans and America ... doesn't he see that?!!

[nikos1121]

Not sure what this means. What does this mean?

[luvie]

God bless this brave man!

[bigdaddy45]

Somehow I think the Lord has more pressing matters to attend to than how long a guy can stand up and talk. This is not biblically-based issue.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Can Cruz be the kind of politician who,like Rodham and Odinga before him?

No. Any other questions?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Just thinking out loud here, but what if this is all part of the plan?

I’m not suggesting that Cruz is part of it but keeping in mind that single payer is the ultimate goal with bammie and the socialistcrats, what’s to prevent bammie from just coming out and saying this isn’t going to work, the only solution is a total government takeover?

[advertising guy]

I want this on this thread for all who care to read it

remember when there was no Ted Cruz?.......freepers were scared to death America was dead, done.

Wailing and cuss words and miles of dammits

What we are watchin is God’s promise of Providence

Providence was promised if we just ax for it...Ted is and does

Just imagine the next Ted Cruz watchin now chompin at the bits to join

[KittenClaws]

Just Voted. Here is latest breakdown, but it doesn’t seem “refreshed”.

---

I support him and hope he keeps talking 91.22% (925 votes)

He should stop doing it 8.78% (89 votes)

Total Votes: 1,014

[Timber Rattler]

Well, why don’t we all just give up now and pack it in then if you think this is all just for Cruz’s ego?

[Georgia Girl 2]

The guy is awesome!!! Watching it all on CSPAN

[The Cajun]

Sarah said Lois Lerner basically said “F U, I’m gonna take the Fifth”

Well that's the voice of the people.......Well me and my buddies anyway, LOL!

[Toespi]

Could be and as far as I am concerned, WTG Cruz.

[Responsibility2nd]

It means Reid is wrong as usual.

[LibLieSlayer]

I told Wicker’s office that this was the defining moment for republicans and that this was “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” and that we wanted our Senator to be public in his support for Senator Ted Cruz. I told her that we cannot win a fight without fighting and that we may lose a battle but win the war. They were very nice... as I was in return. Cochran’s office was cold and bitter.

[McGruff]

Palin: “We already have 3 parties: the Liberal Democrats, the RINO Republicans, and the GOOD GUYS!”

She's right and witty. Kind of like Reagan.

[luvie]

Wow!
