Cruz: 'McConnell led effort to keep Planned Parenthood funding'
World Net Daily ^ | 7/27/2015 | Garth Kant

WASHINGTON – Just days after publicly calling the majority leader a liar on the Senate floor, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has upped the stakes in his war on GOP brass by accusing Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., of spearheading the effort to keep taxpayer funds going to Planned Parenthood.

In a statement that mentioned “gruesome videos of senior officials of Planned Parenthood discussing the selling of body parts of unborn children,” Cruz blasted McConnell for blocking an amendment by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to defund the abortion provider.

“..Where is the outrage by the churches?...”
I wouldn’t look for too much “outrage” there these days.
Most of em are in it for the money...they’re basically tax-exempt business entities.
Churches in the USA have been basically “neutered” by the threat of losing that blessed tax exempt status should they take part in whatever the IRS considers “political debate”. Not all, but they majority of em, crater and shiver in their shoes to that IRS threat. Instead, what they really need to be shivering in their shoes about is what God says. As they, too, will be held accountable. When judgement comes, it will start with them first.

What we have now is a GOP made up of democrats who've had to run as republicans in order to get elected in districts with available seats.

Phonies and liars.

MATTHEW 5:13 describes the state of the church in America. (Not all, but many.)

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

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

Your comment brought a chill to my spine and a dagger to my heart. Each day reveals new parallels to historical examples of God's righteous judgment. The latest undercover Planned Parenthood videos have stripped abortion of all its perfume and camouflage, exposing its evil and barbarism. A merciful God is giving us new opportunities to repent and change course, but our angry defiance convicts us. America is now daring a just God to strike us down.

This nation will be held accountable for the deaths of millions and millions of unborn babies.

Proverbs 24:11-12

11
Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
12
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.

So after the Political firebombing yesterday and today led by Ted Cruz, late this afternoon The turtle poked his head out of his shell, crawled out of hiding in his office fish bowl and had a press conference stating with bravado he is going to meet with Rand Paul and Senator Ernst on how to mover forward on PP defunding.

What a Coward. It takes a National public shaming to get the crook to do the right thing

This is Exactly why you Never vote for the lesser evil.

My bet, Turtle will only allow any funding bill on PP in a fashion that requires 60 votes knowing it won’t pass!

All together they make up... The Progressive Liberal Democrat/Rino Communist Uni-Party.

Cruz, Lee and less than a handful of others are the opposition party dedicated to fighting for the restoration of our Constitutional Free Republic, with a few righteous men and God they are more than enough.

Boldly battling the enemy without and within... CRUZ 2016!

Many country clubs in America have at least one member who has butchered more innocent people than Josef Mengele ever did. And we wonder why the Germans were not shocked or outraged enough to stop the slaughter. We are them.

. Who were the Senators who stood with Senator Lee, Cruz and who else. I doubt either Mississippi Senator, Wicker or Cochran stood for right.

Wicker and Cochran were still in the geriatric ward waiting with baited breath for their daily enema and breakfast of bran and prunes. They don't roll them out unless Turtle and Cornholer needs a vote to pass legislation written by Harry Reid's staff.

>> “Run from McConnell?” <<

The Senate is a club of the most ruthless criminals in the world.

They, like Clinton and Obama, will stop at nothing.

Exposing McConnell may get rid of some dead wood in the GOP Senate.

Not there. I don’t doubt they’re ruthlessness. Short of assassination of all political adversaries though we still have a constitutional republic. Corrupt, yes. But america is not willing to accept open political executions. Or are we?

Exact same place the show was filmed!

That's right, they are removing fetal tissue.
