Tom Marr filled in for Mark on Thursday evening, and one caller called Boehner a traitor. Tom called him on his choice of words and said, just say he’s a disappointment. Is this guy a RINO or something? He seems to always shut down someone’s choice of words.
they wanted to go home.
We all knew it was coming.
We do not hold the Senate until Jan 3
Hold on a sec. Did people going on record for amnesty materialize? That was the point of this.
If there was a conservative running, sure I would vote.
What’s happened is Democrats have become Social Democrats and Republicans have become Democrats.
I understand. Fortunately for me, I get to vote for Senator Jeff Sessions or Senator Richard Shelby. If my choice was john McCain or lindsey Graham, I would have to stay home.
he doesn’t want heat from the FCC.
That was exactly the point of Mr Cruz’s constitutional point!
Cruz would be my favorite.
It is called “cave-in”, go along to get along, smooch my butt and I’ll smooch yours (you first).
This is the last hurrah of Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.
It’s kind of like playing “Last tag” with a dying person. You never get a chance to pass the tag back.
I dare call it treason.
mine too, but he will be utterly destroyed long before the election. the establishment can not afford to let this guy run loose.
Polidiots ......weapons grade stupidity personified !
I wonder what Thomas Jefferson would call it?
Republications are now totally finished. This election in 16 is now THIRD PARTY!! Cornyn sucks— Mitth McConnell Sucks , Boehner sucks. Karl Rove Sucks. Duck and cover — we are the wrecking crew and we are coming!!
Yep, all the Dems and half the Rs are on record supporting it (though they will try to mealy-mouth other explanations for their votes).
Once again Cruz and Lee got something for America and the Party despite the Leadership’s best efforts.
But did it happen? More importantly, notice how the bank provision that Liawatha has been screeching about hasn’t been spoken about? anyone want to bet that piece was quietly taken out?
But why was there so much commotion about Ted Cruz and his Conservative friends being about to save the day? Did they know that the hopes they were raising were false, or did Ted just get duped by the Boehner-McConnell-Obama axis of evil?
In any case, there is no hope left in Washington, and we must look elsewhere. We need a Hercules to step in and clean up the Augean stables that Washington has become, and he must come from outside of Washington, since no Augean can be expected to clean up the mess he had a part in making.
Carson/Huckabee 2016
What’s with Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Feinstein (D-CA) Inhofe (R-OK) not voting? Were they not there or just cowards?
In the past, the vote was simply for you to decide whose hand you wanted in your pocket, Republican or Democrat. There was virtually no difference.
Beginning in 1962, the Democrats began to move toward the Communist Left and on the right to own guns, and that has been their focus for the last 52 years.
I’ve voted for the party who did not move on firearms and that has always been Republicans. The Democrats have moved into the Communist sphere, and the Republicans have also moved in that direction but not as fast, but they ARE moving.
I won’t be around in a few years to see the final destruction of the USA, BUT IT WILL COME!
