This is what's happening within the party now...

Put me on the Ted Cruz ping list please!
I agree, and I think Cruz did the right think. What I am saying is that at the moment, I do not know that the rest of the House GOP has gotten the message yet.
Which means that while Cruz is doing what he needs to do and we should all be celebrating what he is doing, it may be that we need to elect waves of new genuine conservatives in 2014 if we want a House GOP that gets it like Cruz gets it.
That is what I am saying here.
Call one of his offices in PA.
I repeat, I am NOT advocating surrender of any kind. I am merely saying that at the moment, it does not seem like we have a House GOP that is on the same page as us on this - and we will for sure need to keep this in mind next year’s elections so that we can make damn sure that Cruz is not standing along every time he does the principled and right thing.
Once again Senator Cruz is spot on!!!!!!!!
All numbers are busy......and e-mails full...
I’m beginning to think he’s simply not taking calls.
> So the question of the day is: “Will Boehner grow a pair?”
I’d wager the odds are better I’ll be Queen of England by this time next year.
This is what's happening within the party now...
I’ll take that wager. No way you’ll be the Queen of England next year...so we still have a chance with Boehner.
(that’s not you is it Kate?)
Done!
It's not about the futility of an eventual Obama veto.
They are against blocking cloture because they don't want to put the pressure on their Democrat friends in Red States to vote against their party.
McConnell, McCain, and Cornyn are in it to protect the Democrats from difficult votes.

That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. It’ll be a joyous day when each of those RINO’s are gone.
Wow, can we hire you to write our letters? You said what my heart feels, but I lack the ability to put it in words!!
GREAT LETTER!
IF.
I say fight the good fight. Push hard to defund. But recognize that our allies in the House have spines of jelly. They don’t have the intestinal fortitude to walk away from the table and tell the Senate and dear leader to go eff themselves.
Mcconnelcare is a nation killer. It’s just that simple. If delay is what we ultimately get, then it’s a reprieve. More time to make the case that it’s a complete disaster. Delay it again. Delay it till hell freezes over.
“The GOP cave will start in 10, 9, 8..”
Lord knows I detest the gop wing of the uniparty. Check my posting history if you doubt that. But you have to give people the opportunity to do the right thing even if you’re highly doubtful of them doing so.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for that. Thanks for the fact of the matter, and may it continue to be so.
Senator Cruz will be destroyed, just like Sarah Palin was. He is too big a threat to the Dems and he makes the Repubs look bad.
If only we had more like him!!
Yes, we need many more like him.
I believe he is fully aware of what is coming and is going to be coming at him. So far he doesn’t seem to be backing off and the GOP-e haven’t fazed him in the least.
McQueeg hates him so much he made a fool out of himself yesterday bashing him on the Senate floor playing surrender monkey for the RATS. The rest of the elitist R’s are scared to death of him and probably for good reason, they know now he won’t be backing down.
God bless Sen. Cruz, looks like the rebellion has started.
When Orin Hatch declares that Ted Kennedy is his very best friend, what more do you really need to know?
