Rudio voted with Cruz...he does most of the time.
I still haven't been able to find out who these 23 Republicans are.
That must’ve been in kenny rogers’ reuben period where he gained all his weight
The vote, which occurred Saturday night, was expected to fail -- Cruz knew it would -- and it did. Unsurprisingly, all 53 Senate Democrats (along with 2 independents) voted against it. Surprising, so did all but 22 Republican Senators.
I am with you all the way!
you gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold them... into a 7 layer quiche with heavy mushroom gravy...mmmmmm
Thanks. I needed that.
Please, Lord, let this be the good fight.
McCain & Flake are on notice. No one in DC represents northern Arizona conservatives.

Rubio is on the top of this list.
Rubio is going to have a difficult time paddling upstream to get above the waterfall he dropped over. It’s nice that he is still trying though.
Invar, you offer thoughtful, but defeatist words. The enemy did not get where they are overnight. We can successfully push back against this evil.
When idiots in St. Louis can fight and get great recognition for their lamentable efforts, imagine how much more the whole of good can leave wrought.
The only concern we have is our own willingness to make every excuse to quit.
I imagine you would say the same thing to John Adams who warned of the very same thing that I am.
Liberty lost is never regained.
In an age of wickedness and deceit, the truth when spoken, is often hated by the very people a servant is trying to save. Jeremiah comes to mind.
Optimism is not going to overcome tyranny anymore than wishful thinking would alleviate the Colonists from the oppression of the Crown. We've been deluded with the big lie, that optimism and faith in the institutions of men can save us.
They cannot, and they will not.
It is going to take acting outside of what is corrupted in order to do what is necessary to preserve what is left of liberty.
The enemy did not get where they are overnight. We can successfully push back against this evil.
I find no example in human history of incrementally reversing tyranny via civil means. Not a single instance.
I am nor advocating quitting. I am advocating fighting on ground and via means of our own choosing, and not that of our wannabe taskmasters who have corrupted the ground to their own perverted advantage.
It's time we wake up to where we have arrived and what has been done to us.
It is time to use the tools our Founders gave us to exercise our right to alter and abolish a lawless regime that has evinced and put into motion, a design to reduce us to absolute despotism.
And it is not going to come via civil means, anymore than prostrating before the Throne and Parliament was able to stave off the inevitable.
My bad. Good for Rubio voting with Ted.
