So here I am, catching up with what’s been transpiring. Had to get some sleep, clean a gun, and kick The Bride out the door to get her to work on time.

So far, I read both O-CNN and Faux have put out the meme of “Sit-Down-Cruz-Your-Own-Party-Doesn’t-Like-You”. Haven’t heard anything from O-CBS, O-NBC, or ABC-Disney, yet.

Social media is ablaze with talk of this.

My question for the floor is: didn’t Reid already say that the vote is inevitable, and Cruz will stop when the roll is called?

My civilian job is awash with Odinga supporters, and I would like a few talking points to shut them down.

“Social media is ablaze with talk of this.”

Social media unrest “created” the Arab Spring.

Maybe social media can create the “Obama-care Fall”.

cBS just showed a poll that asked the question; “do you think the republicans are trying to work with democrats?” They claim 70% said no and then they offered that Mr. Cruz is part and parcel of that sentiment.

Welcome back...just when I have to force myself to shut down and go get ready for work. I hope you get your questions answered. Maybe if you send a note to Sen. Cruz, he’ll answer it from the senate floor. :)

See ya later. Go Ted Cruz!!!

“My civilian job is awash with Odinga supporters, and I would like a few talking points to shut them down.”

Have the Odinga supporters explain:

If Odingacare is ‘so good’, then why did Congress exempt itself . . .
That has at least slowed down some of the blabbermouths I’ve encountered....
Also kinda fun to see the look on their face and their quivering lips as they try to formulate their ‘answer’ . . .

I have a liberal friend who always tells me that health insurance for everyone is a noble goal. My response to him has always been.........if it’s so necessary, why do you need the government to order you to buy it? That’s ALL Obamacare does. It orders everyone to buy insurance or face an additional tax. You can’t do it without Obama telling you to do it?

The most devastating fact about obamacare is that the democrips’ union friends are seeking the exemptions which the democrips gave to themselves and all federal employees. If this deadly care is so great, why is the pResident exempting himself and all White House folks and all of Congress and federal employees? Truth is, this is an abomination being foisted upon the American people as a stealth tax to shift the bills and open more revenues for the ‘general fund’, which is the festering well of sociaetal engineering social welfare government dependency socialist democrips lust for.

It would seem to be, that if Harry and his nary band of fools, does try to bring their issue up for a vote, they wouldn’t be able to, because Cruz is “filibustering”.

From Wikipedia:
A filibuster in the United States Senate usually refers to any dilatory or obstructive tactics used to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote. The most common form of filibuster occurs when a senator attempts to delay or entirely prevent a vote on a bill by extending the debate on the measure, but other dilatory tactics exist. The rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless “three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn”[1] (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII.
