VIDEO: Senator Ted Cruz had some tough words for the “Gang of Eight” immigration (amnesty) bill today on the Senate floor. In debating the “border surge” amendment, which has ballooned the size of the already bloated bill to a gargantuan 1,200 pages, Cruz began by comparing the speed in which the progressive establishment in both parties is attempting to ram the bill through, to that of the passage of another unpopular bill which no one took the time to read: Obamacare

Ted, you are about the only American remaining in congress. How does it feel to carry the weight of a nation on your shoulders?

That is the best thing I've ever seen a politician say.
But the media and Obama let out a thousand other scandals (Snowden etc.) to hide the IRS scandal . what happened to the IRS hearings?
Gang: a group of thugs who work together for criminal ends.
he’s right.
What’s with liberals having to ram through bills in the thousands of pages before anyone can read them??
I vote no on that alone. We need to make changes in how we deal with the border, how we deal with illegal aliens,etc. But that doesn’t mean we have to do it via a comprehensive massive bill which few have read, and which contains provisions which we won’t learn about until the bill is passed.
That’s two. Now we know how Abraham felt when he was begging for Sodom and Gommorah to not be destroyed...
Can we find more good people on capitol hill?
Congress should stick a term limit provision in one of these bills.
He’s a wonderful advocate, but his plea failed and they will pass this behemoth bill that will be slowly revealed to be as big a pile of garbage as Obamacare. The two will go hand in hand to bring this country to its knees.
MMA metaphors: Obamacare will be an uppercut to the jaw of America, setting it up for a kayo with a flying knee to the forehead from the Amnesty bill.
Ted Cruz should have called them the “Eight Gangbangers” because that’s what they are.
YES...that’s what I’ve been thinking....these are “Gangbangers” destroying our “neighborhoods”....America. They should be in jail or at least removed from their “jobs” for not following the Constitution...and for taking bribes.
He seems to be the only one intelligent enough to say this.
They keep “fundamentally changing” America without so much as a damn hearing.
Term Limits? (Too good to be true)
Would you vote for a Bill that would put you in the unemployment line?
Once you’ve been a Congressman, you can’t do anything else to make a living.
Love Gowdy. He is a wordsmith and Gary Cooper,yes ma’am.
A voice crying out in the wilderness. This country is done. The corruption of politicians and media combined with the apathy, disinterest and dependency of the people has destroyed us.
Before the election i was a strong supporter of both Cruz and Rubio. Cruz is affirming my support everyday while Rubio is like a casual friend that I didn’t know was into drugs and he just robbed my home to support his habit.
"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message!"
Snake oil Schumer proved what a complete idiot he is by getting caught in his own sanctimony.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Yep...Ted and Trey are it.
