You still here, I thought you got zotted?

Oh well, tick tick tick....

As I posted on another thread:

The boy is scoring points.

There should be a rule that all members of the Senate be required to sit and listen.

But there isn’t. And they’re not.

[cowboyusa]

Very key. Enforce a vote on the vitter amendment. If ried wants to shut down the government to deny an amendment then let him.

[onyx]

That’s great!
If it’s not refreshing, maybe the site is getting overwhelmed?

[Homer_J_Simpson]

This Cruz fella is great at extemporaneous speaking. He just might be the communicator we have been waiting for.

Well that's the voice of the people.......Well me and my buddies anyway, LOL!

Well, heck, I think DrO and I said the same in unison! LOL.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Cruz fillets Obama. Now talking about exemptions for Congress. Woot!

Hey CNN, you can’t edit this. It must be very frustrating for you.

[Eagle of Liberty]

BTTT!!!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

992 - 94 votes.

[LachlanMinnesota]

If you have friends in this administration, you can get an exemption, too!

If we don’t act to avert this train wreck, before the end of this president’s term, we will see the labor unions an exemption from Obamacare.

So true, so true.

Mussed it. Was she on?

Cochran’s office was cold and bitter.

I had the same response from Cochran's office.

WTH?

Your call to Wicker's gives me HOPE!

I think we call Cochran's again tomorrow!

[MustKnowHistory]

He is daring Obama to grant an exemption for unions.

[RKBA Democrat]

I love Texas and Texans.

(Sorry if I don’t agree with Texas secession.)

"This Cruz fella is great at extemporaneous speaking."

EXCELLENT --- no teleprompter; rarely ever looks at any notes.
