The GOP’s anger at Sen. Ted Cruz — expressed mostly in private meetings this week — burst onto the usually collegial Senate floor on Thursday, with Sen. Bob Corker excoriating his Texas Republican colleague for blocking a quick vote to avert a government shutdown next week.
In a highly unusual Republican v. Republican exchange, Corker accused Cruz of delaying a Thursday vote simply to create a “show” to cater to his conservative activist supporters at the expense of making good policy.

Cruz shot back.
“Why is Majority Leader Harry Reid going to vote the same way you’re proposing to vote? Why is every Democrat in this chamber going to vote the way you’re proposing to vote,” said Cruz. “When we told our constituents we oppose Obamacare, we meant it. So we are not going to be complicit in giving Harry Reid the ability to fund Obamacare.”

Their name "Republican In Name Only" puts the truth to that. They are obvious double agents for the Socialists.
RINOs = RATs.

Lenard and Poskevich, both tea-party candidates, appear to be the only opponents to Corker who are serious about running. They’ve questioned the incumbent’s fat campaign contributions from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs when Corker is a key member of the Senate Banking Committee that oversees these institutions.
Indeed, Corker has raised more than $11 million; Lenard and Poskevich, less than $100,000.
Though his ties to Wall Street are worrisome, Sen. Corker has been an effective senator, building expertise in foreign policy and showing he can work with Democrats when compromise is needed for the country to move forward.
He’s not upin 2014. Lamar is though
Corker was just reelected. But you can contribute to Joe Carr, who’s running against his colleague, Lamar Alexander.
Poor Bob Corker. Just like other CockRoaches. Doesn’t like light shown on his actions or the masses challenging them.
Don’t forget everyone. Be sure to drop by their Facebook pages and spread the love.
Bob Corker, just another RINO that enjoys taking his turn serving The President , Monica Lewinski style. Hope you enjoyed the meal Bob.
I enjoyed Corker grilling the UAW guy during the auto bailout hearings.
The one thing to be careful of is flushing him in favor of an inexperienced person who can’t handle the media onslaught.
We did that in Indiana with old Lugar and got an Obama supporter in the general for 6 long years.
“Bob Corker..another RINO Republican..they seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately aren’t they..we have to get rid of these scum before they destroy the Republican Party..perhaps that is their plan..they want a 1 party system”
They’re all being smoked out! They’re charades are being forced into the light for the people to see. And worst of all...they are being forced to vote, to go on the record.
And they’re squealing like stuck pigs. All of them.
yup, most fat-ass republicans are just fine with obamacare. no balls boner being one of them.
Aàaaaaaaarg. Dem Bastards better wise up! It won’t take much to cause a sudden shift in support in this state!

“Cruz / Palin?”.....
I like it.
That is nothing compared to what the electorate wrath if they don’t support him.
Yeah, I don’t see any problem there...
And those idiots are going to try to ram through Amnesty before Christmas, too.
I have come to believe many of the Republicans actually support Obamacare but will never admit it.
Military issues aside, the GOP and Sen. Corker evidently need to be taught the following. Ideally, the main thing that citizens should be concerned about in a federal government shutdown is temporary loss of mail services imo. This is because mail services are one of the few responsibilities that the states have actually delegated to the feds via the Constitution as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I.
In other words, noting that federal government services cannot simply be shut down on a whim, it remains that most other federal government services that GOP and Sen. Corker are concerned about are actually based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers which the corrupt legislative and executive federal branches have wrongly stolen from the states.
Could the reason be that the Indiana repub party didn’t get behind the republican candidate?
maybe some, but i think more may not outright support it, but rather just don’t think it’s that bad, not bad enough to fight against.
