[In the end, Lee was unable to rally the support of a mere 10 Republican senators needed for the chamber to consider his amendment to defund Planned Parenthood]

Not being able to muster 10 votes to defund Planned Parenthood has an eerie comparison to the story of Abraham and Lot.

McConnell isn't representing the party, nor Kentucky, which traditionally has much, much lower rates of abortion than most of the states out there.

McConnell should resign his leadership position.

They’d rather bow down to the GOPe linguini ‘leadership’ gods than do the right thing.
SMudge Scarecrow didn’t want to be shown up by the underling upstarts— you know, ‘the crazies’.

I think 10 innocent people was the cut-off for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Seeing the end of a once great nation. How can any moral person have any respect for it.

Looks like Cruz’ strategy is to run against McConnell.

Not a bad one.

Planned Barrenhood is institutionalized racism.

The commissioned purpose of the org was extermination of the black African race.

Run from McConnell? McConnell has a glass jaw. So does the rest of the establishment.

The more Cruz and Lee stand tall against their corruption, the higher their Q among the American public and the more protected by popular opinion they become.

I get your concern, but I’ve already seen “giants” crumble during this election cycle.

I was undecided about Cruz, but I appreciate these attacks on the GOP leadership.

They stopped representing my political views a long time ago, it just took a while for me to fully accept it.

Not even 10 senators with a conscience. D.C. needs to be gutted!

It makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership team is united in favor of big government spending and debt and power.”

“united in favor...spending and debt and power”

WHY did he sidestep the MAIN ISSUE, which is they are united in the bloody slaughter of babies in the womb.

These “Republicans” have lost any credibility they ever had. I do not understand how these fools can keep being re-elected.

There are only 10 pro-lifers in the Senate, think about it. How sad is this?
