Cruz should declare for the presidential nomination RIGHT NOW so we can start sending him money.

Preemption is the only way to keep the GOP-wing of the Democrat party from dictating the nominee.

My sentiments exactly. Finally somebody gets it and is willing to stand up and speak for us. And to actually fight.

My prayers and respect are with these men.

This backfired. They are voting on a ton of liberal nominations today and the sheep repubs are letting them.

She is right on this. Never thought I’d agree with Elizabeth Warren on anything, but, I’m tired of the Pubbies catering to Wall Street and the big banks that are “too big to fail”. But, when they do fail, our tax dollars bail them out. They are economic whores.

Americans want this kind of talk, no BS no dribble, straight talk from somebody
who actually means it. He would own a landslide in 2016, Independents, Blacks,
Mexicans and all. And probably a large percentage of Democrat fence sitters.

Americans want action too, if he pissed off every Dem in DC everybody would love
him for it because we want to see struggle and political War! Same goes for Dems
angering the Repubs, but the Repubs are boring as heck and don't steam or vent. Lately.

Our system is designed for war, not go-along to get-along pansies.
Political war is what keeps Americans tuned into what's happening in
DC with our leaders. When there is no guff, nobody pays any attention. This is
what's wrong with the Repubs, they are sell-outs to PC BS, and they should be
yelling at every Dem in both houses, and in their faces! And that drunk
Boehner is as cowardly as they get.

Read the article more closely. Senator Lee (R-UT) said that NOT Harry Reid. Check it out.

“Senator McConnell left the Capitol apparently thinking there was a deal but his caucus rejected it after he left, while Senator Cruz took to the Senate floor to openly question Senator McConnell’s honesty and integrity,” the aide said.

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

High point of the week for me.

I’m confused . . . are they actually voting on this? Here’s what Ted Cruz (or, I guess, his media person) posted on Facebook almost one hour ago:

“An update on what’s happening in the Senate today:

“While the Senate considers the CRomnibus spending bill, all we’ve done was simply request to hold a vote on a measure to stop President Obama’s amnesty. Instead, Majority Leader Harry Reid is holding a series of votes today for the sheer purpose of blocking that vote on Obama’s amnesty.

“Harry Reid’s last act as Majority Leader is to, once again, act as an enabler for President Obama, by blocking this vote on the President’s amnesty. He is going to an embarrassing length to tie up the floor to obstruct debate and a vote on this issue because he knows amnesty is unpopular with the American people, and he doesn’t want the Democrats on the record as supporting it.

“No one wants a government shutdown. We are only seeking a vote. As soon as the Majority Leader allows a vote on a measure to stop President Obama’s amnesty, we can and should move forward on this bill to fund the government. If he does not, then we will continue to insist upon regular order and use every tool at our disposal to ensure there is a vote.”

Amen to that. Senator Cruz is exactly the warrior this country needs before it's too late, if it's not too late already. I would crawl across broken glass to vote for this man as my President.

I believe they are trying to remove any funding from the Omnibus for Obama's back-door attempt of Amnesty.

He was re-elected with a large margin.

America enjoys drinking the Kool-Aid.

FINALLY... a MAN who will make a stand on behalf of what the PEOPLE want and what's good for America, not some special interest group.

GOD be with you Ted Cruz. ( and I believe he already is )

McConnell is probably all of that and more, at least I have thought so for years. However, a person has to look at the reason for his being where he is. It is the people in Kentucky who need to be given shame for putting this man with the influence and power he demonstrates. Pork comes from pigs.

To the Honorable Senator Cruz,
Sir, you can count on my vote when you run for President. My prayers are with you in your battle to wrest our nation from the fangs of tyranny. God bless you and keep you safe!
