WASHINGTON Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker called out fellow Republicans Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah Thursday, accusing them of delaying a vote on the bill to fund the government and prevent a government shutdown to suit their own desires for publicity.
Cruz, earlier this week, held the floor for over 21 hours, speaking in defense of defunding Obamacare with that government funding bill. He asked other Republican senators to join him in voting against moving forward on a bill passed by the House, which would fund the government while defunding Obamacare

Corker seems to be a very stupid man.
I don’t mean to be antagonistic, but what is the way forward after the Senate does not vote for cloture? Cruz didn’t answer that question in the video, and I am sure I have read about it, but can’t remember.
“He has already received my phone call. Of course like a dem he wont listen. Oh yeah, he says hes a repub, but dont believe it for a second. “
RINOs need to hear from the masses! Cruz asks that we each get three people to call, after we call ourselves.
Too bad these Obama buttboys can’t use a little of their faux ire against Democrats, where it is well deserved. In the face of the real enemy they shrivel up like gutless wonders.
Corker is a slimy little Punk who didn’t have the balls to ask Sen. Cruz questions during his 21 hours on the Senate floor. Bob
But then the pukes like Corker won’t get invited to A-list cocktail parties in Washington. Bob
Ted has unmasked the Collaborators. We know what to do.
Thank you, Ted.
Yet another state to avoid while on vacation next year.
I believe the plan is to shame all the RINOs into supporting Lee and Cruz, then pick off enough Democraps to force passage of the House bill. At that point Harry can refuse to allow a vote, or Obama can veto it. Either way, the Dems are responsible for Government shutdown. I believe Gov’t union employees usually get back pay in the case of a shutdown, which is an affront to taxpayers. I really hope Harry allows a vote because that forces Obama to ignore the will of the people.
The way forward is the House keeps throwing up spending bills that exclude Zerocare, for the Senate to shoot down. It’s a game of chicken.
McConnell et.al. Are willing to surrender yesterday, unfortunately.
I suspect that the surrender procedure was worked out in advance, and Ted rained on their parade.
We used to think that only the Lib could throw tantrums and make personal attacks instead of dealing with the issue. Now we see that there really is no difference between the Decepticons and Demoncrats. Time to create a second party.
I tried calling his office today to let them know that this was his last term. Couldn't get through.
No, Lindsey calls him sweetheart.
Cruz takes Corker to school...Cruz is like a lion chasing a herd of Rino’s, the lion picks the dumbest Rino, for lunch, Cruz the Lionhearted has been eating and continues to eat lunch at the Rino restaurant every day.
Bon Appetit!
A generation ago guys like Corker would have been Dems. They are attracted to the GOP now because they run in red states.
Sent this message. Office was closed and phone message box was full as MOST of them are right now...
Senator Corker,
As senior citizens, and conservative Republicans, We personally APPLAUDED TED CRUZ and MIKE LEE for the fearless stand they made.
YOUR attack on them is wrong and shows you don’t “ get it” when it comes to true American Patriotism.
GOD BLESS TED CRUZ.
Let him have it!
