Every Congress member today got the message Cruz doesn't have the courage of his convictions and will Boehner/McConnell out at the drop of a hat. And all the Democrats now think Cruz just makes speeches for the base and doesn't believe them. It's incredibly damaging to him.
Freepers made fun of Obama for voting "present." Freepers don't do a good job when they bvetray their core beliefs.
You can’t change the definition of conservatism just to suit your desire to denigrate Cruz.
There is another thread for the vote you two are arguing about.

Going to a fund-raiser. A non-vote carries as much weight as a "nay," since 51 "yay" votes are required by passage. So hanging around is a waste of time.
If a meaningless vote is important to you, that's your business.
What's important to me is that Cruz worked to expose the legislative sleight of hand, where Republicans vote for cloture, and then the Speaker allows a certain number of these Senators to vote against the nomination.
Do you support Cruz for president?
Then who do you think is the best fighter canadate ?
Who sticks up for conservatives if you don’t think Ted Cruz is it ?
