Exclusive–Source: McConnell, Cornyn Whipping Votes Against Ted Cruz
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | September 23, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/24/2013 5:39:19 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

A source in Congress tells Breitbart News that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn are using their leadership positions to pressure other Republicans to oppose Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in his campaign to defund Obamacare.

"Right now in the Senate, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are actively whipping Senators to shut down debate on the House continuing resolution so that Harry Reid can gut it with just 51 votes,” a senior congressional staffer with intimate knowledge of the situation said in an email to Breitbart News. “Unbelievably, they actually are leading the fight to fully fund Obamacare.”

“Unbelievably, they actually are leading the fight to fully fund Obamacare.”

No its totally believable. RINO’s in action. Send Matt Bevins $10 or $20 for his campaign. If we don’t get rid of these parasites nothing will ever change.

Cornyn will vote with Cruz before he votes against him. He is John Kerry.

I tried faxing Cornhole's DC office all night (auto redial)...it NEVER answered.

I think the coward has unplugged all phones and faxes while he hides under Mrs Beasley McConnell's coattails.

That’s good news! I was disappointed that I was so easily able to get through yesterday to every single Cornyn voice mail box, including DC, that I called, which meant not enough calls were happening in these districts.

I will try again today.

We need to team up with these other districts grassroot conservatives in Texas. Even the Younger, energetic Libertarians would throw in with us on sooo many of these issues.

Cornyn has to go!

McConnell, Cornyn Whipping Votes Against Ted Cruz

Isn't that a little bit racist?

Why do they call it "whipping?" Slavery days?

Washington went on a crusade (is that racist?) to remove offensive phrases like "hold down the fort," and they want to change the name of football teams.

Why not stop all this talk about whipping other Senators who do not comply with the masters' orders?

Maybe they will go campaign for Bevin. Especially after all of the cr@pola we’re dealing with, right now.

I hope Cornhole AND McConnell get *whipped* by their opponents in 2014. Lily-livered, backstabbing cowards.

When he calls asking for my vote, I'll tell him: "I'm sorry, that mailbox is full, and I'll be voting for your challenger".

Should have a money bomb so it comes out in the news that McConnell’s primary opponent received LOTS of money when it became known that McConnell was going to vote for cloture, allowing a simple majority in the Senate to undo the House’s ONE Constitutional check and balance to the Senate and executive branch.

I need to understand the process a little bit better though. If the Senate amends this continuing resolution so that it funds Obamacare, does it have to be sent back to the House for them to sign off on it, or can the Senate really gut the House’s funding measures and replace it with their own stuff totally outside the reach of the House? If that is possible, I don’t see that the House has ANY check and balance role whatsoever.

I agree, and all in for a Third Party, here.

I'd say there's only ONE party currently. Democrats and Republicans seem to be one in the same.

I've been hoping for Palin and Cruz to start a NEW PARTY.

When they contact you for donations, just tell them you can’t afford it. Obamacare is taking all your money.
