U.S. senate, via CSPAN-2 ^ | September 24, 2013 | CSPAN-2

Absolutely...and the insiders don’t get it!

[TurboZamboni]

The most Cruz can hope for is a 1 year delay of the inevitable- whoopee. Dumb strategy.

I’d rather see everyone hit-all at the same time, no exemptions, no delay or give people something to vote FOR, not AGAINST.

Delaying the mandate serves what purpose? Delaying payment for what they get…isn’t that what we used to call a “free lunch”? I thought republicans were against free lunches.

[fatima]

Over 4 hours now.((((Hugs)))

[mylife]

I hope they get the country to listen.

[struggle]

I would really like the other senators to segue into impeachable actions that this President is engaged in through questions. He’s having a cushy New York engagement that could get really uncomfortable if the Republicans start asking EVERY uncomfortable questions on TV.

Kraut, you’re an f’n genius.

[advertising guy]

many a day I’ve wished Cheney would take Kraut huntin

[taildragger]

Kraut missing the point again

Another Vichy Republikann. A pox on all their houses, I am so sick of the beltway punditry class, I have been saying for over 2 years we have out grown them here on FR because we don't need them to tell us how to think !!!!

[Viennacon]

The senate has been in Cruz control for several hours. Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Jeff Sessions, David Vitter, and Pat Roberts have given him rest by asking questions.

(When you put your own damned carrots in it :-)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Sounds kinky to me.

[luvie]

You just proved it! All threads turn to food sooner or later! LOL!

I’m not criticizing you....you just proved my theory. :)

[GeronL]

This is not about the delay, this is now about the fight. Are conservatives willing to stand up and fight the leftists?

Ted is.

[Viennacon]

If we delay it a year, and take the senate in 2014, we can defund it completely.

[mylife]

I was following along as much as possible via radio.

[austinaero]

I’m going to enjoy WATCHING and TWEETING and EMAILING and CALLING tonight.

Me too! If Ted can stay up and talk, I can sit on my butt and send out emails and tweets in the wee hours. Maybe we can keep each other company!

[Jane Long]

Even Polutico was carrying this live, earlier.
