He was on from 1:05 to 1:30 through one break, nothing overwhelming, but the man keeps showing his conservative creds in the best of ways. I found the website, not much on specifics, but Cruz has proved himself trustworthy in my book, so I'm signing: http://www.tedcruz.org/border-security/?fbad

I’m a little nervous about saying I agreed with everything he said today because I was preoccupied with driving and thinking about where I was going.

The parts where I was paying attention, he was sound. I think he’s a good guy.

I doubt you would disagree with anything substantial, he mostly laid out why this bill was bad and the likely extremely poor consequences of passing it.

I thought his best was the reminder to us to call any senators and reps on the bubble (R's), he said that really works, even makes D's nervous when they are assaulted by phone calls. He says that's what finally stopped the bill in 2007, it's what stopped the anti-gun bill this year and we need to marshall forces just as we did then.

I heard that part of the conversation, and he was good delivering it.

Thanks for the reminder. It is a good suggestion.

RE :”” Hannity repeats Rubio’s dribble”
....
Then, he isn’t merely for amnesty, but a traitor like Rubio.
Nice....”

The GOPs in the house are staging another make believe food stamp cut to get the Dems to whine about it to create a smokescreen for them.
Typical Ryan con.

WTF sense would it make to cut food stamps if you are going to give illegals the vote?
