I think there is a seed of good intention with this filibuster though.

For which the road to Hell is often paved.

Can Cruz be the kind of politician who,like Rodham and Odinga before him, simply got a first-term Senate seat to launch himself into the Whit Hut?

Hopefully he’ll ask another question - a longer one. If there’s a long question can Cruz have a potty and drink break?

Somehow I think the Lord has more pressing matters to attend to than how long a guy can stand up and talk. This is not biblically-based issue.

Just thinking out loud here, but what if this is all part of the plan?

I’m not suggesting that Cruz is part of it but keeping in mind that single payer is the ultimate goal with bammie and the socialistcrats, what’s to prevent bammie from just coming out and saying this isn’t going to work, the only solution is a total government takeover?

Just Voted. Here is latest breakdown, but it doesn’t seem “refreshed”.


I support him and hope he keeps talking 91.22% (925 votes)

He should stop doing it 8.78% (89 votes)

Total Votes: 1,014

Well, why don’t we all just give up now and pack it in then if you think this is all just for Cruz’s ego?

I told Wicker’s office that this was the defining moment for republicans and that this was “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” and that we wanted our Senator to be public in his support for Senator Ted Cruz. I told her that we cannot win a fight without fighting and that we may lose a battle but win the war. They were very nice... as I was in return. Cochran’s office was cold and bitter.

Palin: “We already have 3 parties: the Liberal Democrats, the RINO Republicans, and the GOOD GUYS!”

She's right and witty. Kind of like Reagan.
