enate Majority Leader Harry Reid is keeping senators in Washington for a rare Saturday session—and risking a government shutdown—after he went to extraordinary lengths to block Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) from forcing a vote to block President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.

Politics is like rugby crossed with chess.
Let’s fumble the ball all the way to the end zone, then.
That’s a major improvement. Before he would have hung them out to dry. His job is to get reelected, so he better listen.
You betcha!
Fax or tweet your Senators to....
#DefundObamasAmnesty and the #CRomnibus!!
#CruzControl!
BFL!
Cruz is probably the smartest person in the Senate, so he should know what he is blocking, or what they will be voting on, since Obama never wrote an executive order. I wish him luck, if for no reason other than he is giving that halfwit Reid the squirts. It’s a shame the Republican left is waiting to wipe Reid’s butt, and cleanup the mess.
Cruz-Lee-Sessions ...real men, real patriots, real Americans, real fighters and the best part is they are on our side.
God Bless these guys.
Obviously been following DC for 25+ years... I barely recognize half the names he's tracking.
Well done, guys!
Dear Lord, please keep that boy safe, give him strength and every measure of wisdom you can offer. I think Ted Cruz is just about our only hope.
I hope we can keep electing him for as long as he is able to stay.
Jeff Flake is aptly named.
“Cruz is just getting started. I am sure he is the one guiding the actions on this issue.”
We had a handful of FR surrender monkeys, also known as the “I walk on Water” cult, insisting that the GOP taking control of the senate wouldn’t matter.
Others on FR tried to explain to these hand-wringers that GOP control of the Senate would give Cruz both a senatorial and national platform to launch his presidential campaign while also attacking the GOPe RINOs.
Meet the man, Ted Cruz, who will attack and make irrelevant the GOPe squishy jellyfish.
Go, Ted!
Don’t take everything going on in Congress from either side at face value, it diminishes the fact that maybe some plays are planned. Too many FRs ‘jump the gun’ on what is happening....everyone can’t be the hero, or ultra conservative. These aren’t the only players.
Take a look at how this is playing out.
If McConnell is gone without waiting for this to be approved in Senate, I don’t believe it...he’s still in Wash, DC somewhere, but may not want that known.
If Cruz and Sessions are best arguers with Reid and throwing a wrench in something, that football may have been thrown to them for that purpose.
Why don’t men who watch football understand that the Republicans from both sides talk to each other, and may actually plan where their strengths are, if they plan to balk at the NWO/CFR, in order to get what they want.
This is most likely going to go to January 2015. Let’s see if Republicans can get ‘Warren’ and the Dems to shut down the government....right now Cruz is being blamed, but by Monday that may change, if Pocahontas decides to take the podium to get Dems involved, so she can have help with her area of disagreement, if she doesn’t...well then all the votes may fall apart for the Budget without bi partisanship, and here comes January.
I’m not saying that’s how it will go, but I’m hoping so.
also known as the “I walk on Water” cult,
AKA ‘you’re an idiot for voting for ANY republican’ not knowing how or when our Conservatives would make their move.
Turtle had to TURN HIS JET AROUND to get back to DC due to Ted’s ‘tricksiness’.
The ‘they of little faith’ caterwalers do the nation no favors by shooting at the only guys on our side likely to ditch Boehner and McConnell. They know who they are.
If he didn’t turn around, this is symbolically serious.

Good point! Oh, I hope this is the end of Yertle and the ascendancy of Cruz.
That is very cool. ;>)
