Cruz mentioned to Reid during the filibuster to let the vote go thru...quickly...by unanimous consent....Reid refused of course...he wasn’t about to give anything to Cruz.

It is interesting to think that if it had been a Democrat doing the same thing Ted Cruz just did, for whatever purpose they had (and probably it WOULD be nefarious then), the naysayers would be praising them today.
Not just hypocritical, but truly ignorant in their hypocrisy.
Yes, Ted Cruz just lit up that beacon on the hill a lot brighter today. I had not lost hope in this country and turning things around...because I know God still has his hand in this. But Ted’s stance just inflames my hopes more.

Dan Coats = 1st surrender monkey
Yes, he is. He should be ashamed of himself. Now he's laying out all the ways individuals will be hurt. SS checks recipients, our wounded warriors, etc.
Coats cannot think outside the box. He refuses to be a warrior for this cause. What does he think will happen with obamacare coming on line? Will people not be harmed, will people not die? He would have stood with the British not the Patriots were he alive at the birth of our country.

Cruz said cloture vote is on Friday or Saturday. I don’t know what this roll call vote is about.

I am a Conservative, and I will vote for a Conservative like Sen. Ted Cruz. The word Republican will not cross my lips...they made their move, and I will make mine.

Cruz said if everyone gets three people to sign “dontfundobamacare” that it would go a long way. Just tried to sign my kids up but the site is down (overload?).

Hey N, was up till 2:30 or so watching this drama, then up at 6 to see our great Senator Cruz standing tall against the snakes, rats, and Vichy republicrats! Isnt Cruz awesome? He and Mike Lee are the only ones that deserve the Honorable title! So proud of him! Same here. I left the T.V. on all night and awoke to see Cruz still speaking. How refreshing.

WOW, Dan Coats is truly disappointing. He didn’t show up last night because he would only be allowed to ask questions, not be able to discuss his points like today. He did watch a bit, though...whooptedoo, Dan.
Now he’s proposing introducing a one year delay in the individual mandate.
LOL, after surrendering to the democrats and saying the country can’t handle another shutdown, he’s laid his cards on the table. His bid is useless. They’ll ignore this “suggestion”.

It came up “unavailable” for me, too.
I just kept refreshing until I slipped in.
Now to get busy sending emails, faxes, phoning, etc. Since I live in Minnepolis, doubt it will do any good, but I will do it anyway.
