Also, when I called Coburn’s office, they tried to spread the lie that Cruz voted for cloture.
Exact quote “Did u know after his so-called filibuster, after wasting all that time, he then voted for cloture?”
I called them on their lie and he admitted it but I kid you not, Senator Coburn and his staff is doing everything they can to make Cruz look bad.
Straight-up lied...if I wasn’t a Freeper I would have fallen for the lie


Holy Smokes!

Cruz has been saying all along that if Reid get his way in the senate then it will go back to the house and it will be up to the house to use James Madison’s constitutional power of the purse to deny funding for the president’s unconstitutional expansion projects. The house and the house alone has the awesome power and duty to halt runaway government via denial of funding.

Prayers that God grants our representatives with the wisdom, courage, strength and stamina to stand together against the coming godless liberal media storm and to save the Republic!

I swear I used to hear Coburn described as conservative. But then when he endorsed Romney on March 4th last year, I realized he couldn’t be. Most of the people opposing Cruz endorsed Romney or vice versa. RINOs seem to think and march in lockstep with each other. They are a very distinct and different animal from conservatives.

My sense is that a delay is better than implementation. However, the leader on this is Cruz. If he supports the House, then I’ll support the House. If he doesn’t, then I won’t.

He has the integrity, the insider knowledge and the guts to lead.

was it Coburn or Burr who wrote the book on how conservatives get corrupted by DC? The author became a prime example of it.

Well they’re going to have to hide their money out of the country then because when the libs see how much Obamacommiecare is costing they are going to go after the rich like farmers after Frankenstein. 100% tax rate like France...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2013/05/21/french-tax-soars-over-100/

or seizure of bank accounts like Cyprus...

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/cypriot-lawmakers-gear-deposit-levy-vote

Don’t forget: We no longer live under a constitutional Republic. We live under soft tyranny. Obamacommiecare is going to tip that to hardcore tyranny which has been their plan all along.

I think we’ll have to disagree on this one.
The “rich” are just as much a part of the government as the POTUS and his Democrat cronies.

No they are not, maybe the billionaires, but if you got a 7 figure net worth you can kiss that goodbye. Remember: Obama defines “rich” as someone who makes over $250K a year. But let’s not even talk about the rich. If you have ANY kind of money, they are going to take it from you. My parents are in their mid 70s now, busted their asses all their lives and now are semi-rich and retired. I told them if Obamacommiecare comes into being they should get the hell out of the country much like the Jews should have gotten out of Germany when Hitler took power because what is going to happen is the government is going to take the majority of what they worked for to support this crap and they are going to have to come out of retirement and work again. That is EXACTLY what is going to happen! Do you want to place bets? Obamacommiecare has only one purpose: To destroy the United States of America. That is the ONLY reason this thing exists because to destroy a country like the USA you have to do it financially which is why those terrorists attacked Wall street twice - Well 3 times if you count the Occupy Wall street terrorists. We are F**ked if this Obamacommiecare becomes ironclad. Put it this way: We are in debt more than all the money that exists in the world today. What do you think this is going to do? This is like nuking the Titanic after it hits the iceberg. Forget about it, we are finished as a nation.

I have been telling people for weeks to call or write their Senators.
Even after Cruz’s speech, they just look at me like I am crazy and ask What can we do?

I want to shake them and yell, Call your Senators NOW!

My congressman Todd Young has the delay bill ready and waiting with bi-partician support
He’s been working in the House while Coats works in the Senate.
They are not putting all their eggs in one basket as in the past
Plan B is ready and waiting

Maybe.... Maybe not
They got burned when the counted on Scot Browns election by Reid who manipulated timing of the vote
They got burned again when the counted on SCOTUS to hood it unconstitutional
Shame on them twice!
So now keep the enemy guessing what your up to. Keep your powder dry and in multiple places.
Young is quite a scholar and an academy grad, if he out flanks or surprises them I wouldn’t be surprised
