he seems to be a no-show in this filibuster.

He showed up and told Cruz that they can't defund ObamaCare, so would he be willing to compromise in order to get some of what they want.

The 'Runt" is off of my Good Guy list for sure, he danced around on Amnesty so much and now his total sell out on this issue, he is dead to me.

Cruz by the way said he would not vote for it no matter what because he promised his constituents to fight this and he is keeping his word.

The Longer Rubio goes on, and any others who speak, the more endurance for the long haul they are ‘giving to Cruz’....so it’s a good thing.

Exactly! We'll take EVERY vote we can get. Speaking of...

Here's an updated count - from Senate Conservatives - of who WILL OPPOSE CLOTURE, along with Senators Cruz and Lee:

Rubio
Pat Roberts
David Vitter
Jim Inhofe

God bless 'em!!

Have been after Chambliss and Isakson all afternoon. So far they are running true to form, and keeping with the RepublicanElites.

But I believe the age of miracles has not passed :)

The House Republican leadership is seriously considering attaching a one-year delay of Obamacare’s individual mandate to the Senate bill to avert a government shutdown, according to senior GOP aides.

If House Republicans decide to go this route, it would all but provoke a government shutdown, since Senate Democrats might not even schedule a vote on a bill that includes that provision, Senate leadership staffers say. Even if the Senate schedules a vote, there might not be time to move the legislation through the slow-moving chamber.

I think America was better off when there was little health insurance to be had.

When I was born in 1964 it cost a whopping $85 dollars for my hospital birth. That was less than 2 week’s pay for my dad who was a lowly garbage man.

Today the same birth in a hospital will cost months of pay.

The key is to allow amendments. Ried Must learn that he can't run the senate like a dictatorship.

“Cruz is ripping off the veil:.... Obamacare is a Trojan horse for single payer communist style healthcare....”

I thought this tweet was spot on as Cruz spoke....calling it a Trojan Horse for Communist style Healthcare... is right!
