They think they are Royalty and we are surfs. I didn’t realize we had gone back to the vassal system (”We tell you what to do and you’ll like it or else”).
BINGO SENATOR CRUZ!!! YOU HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO THOSE OTHER SENATORS! YOU ARE THERE REPRESENTING YOUR CONSTITUENTS!!
Cruz says that Senate Leadership was upset because Cruz didn’t get “permission” for what he did. Get Rid of the Senate Way of Seniority!
Cruz on Rush says either Friday or Saturday is when the important cloture vote will occur. Not sure what today is.
Cruz tells Rush if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you’d be in therapy for a month...lol
I can’t imagine the horror of having to listen to such an ignorant person. I have worked to avoid ALL stupid uninformed voters, nothing gets through to them. It’s tragic really, yet, they are truly small in numbers.
It’s those who want to know the truth, but just don’t have the time to learn the issues, that I spend my time talking to. Those are the people that must be reached.
I am so hopeful today, nothing the nay sayers can say will diminish my pride in Ted Cruz and Mike Lee today!
Be thankful that you are informed, know what is really at play here and how to prepare!
Meanwhile, the traitors are probably trying to decide where to have lunch on the taxpayer's dime.
Probably on the consent resolutions Cruz presented and Reid shot down. It is definitely NOT the cloture vote.
He’s making it clear the republicans will be voting for Obamacare if they vote for cloture...
If they do vote for stopping the debate..(colture) then Reid will strip the CR from it and send it to the house without it...
Cruz said the republicans can then vote against this and go home to their states saying they’ve voted against Obamacre...when in fact by voting for culture they killed any chance of not funding it..and it will pass with basically the Republicans supporting it because they refused to fight.
MATT DRUDGE @DRUDGE 1h Reid coming in was like the grim reaper... Back to reality..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOL --- Drudge also carried the embedded video of the filibuster the entire night...unprecented.
I also appreciated Butter's turn of phrase (post 3707):
I could almost feel the life going out of the room and the snakes sliming in when Dingy Harry took the floor. Back to the sulphurous business-as-usual-in-dc.
Cruz also tells Rush how the Republican senators act defeated in caucus meetings, accept defeat, have no strategy to go on the offense. Very depressing for Cruz to observe.
It’s Wednseday until it isn’t. We had that problem last night. It was Wednesday here and Tuesday in CA.
Remember, everyone, take names and make a list...for later.
It was 100 to 0.
Dan Coats up disagreeing with Reid. Now he shows up? Where was he last night?
lol, I wasn’t clear...I meant I didn’t know what today’s VOTE was.
Cruz on Rush says either Friday or Saturday is when the important cloture vote will occur. Not sure what today is.
~~~~~~~~
I am a bit confused about what this vote is also, but the vote was 100-0
C-SPAN2 is calling it: Senate clears way for govt funding debate
I love that Cruz is confirming what we know about the GOP.
Age and health issues I’ve heard. Regardless constituents are unable to reach by phone.
I see him.
Just an aside and not a trick question (cuz I don’t know the answer): What has damaged the American economy more, the attacks of 9/11 or ObamaCare?
Cruz...they want to make it about anything else....Democrats don't want to discuss it...the American people don't want to hear all the “other” talking points. Mentioned reading about Rushs dad...inspirational...Rush honored...
Here here...well said.
