CRUZADE: DEFUNDING EFFORT NEARING 30 VOTES IN SENATE

Mike Flynn

According to sources on the Hill, there is growing support among Senate Republicans to support Sens. Cruz and Lee's efforts to scuttle Sen. Harry Reid's attempt to reinstate ObamaCare funding in the House Continuing Resolution...

According to Hill sources, over 20 GOP Senators are set to buck Leadership on Friday and reject this procedural game, by voting against cloture. By some accounts, up to 30 Senators could vote against GOP Leadership, which would represent an existential crisis within the caucus. McConnell and Cornyn have publicly put their reputations on the line. If more than half the caucus votes against them, the center of power within the Senate Republicans will have shifted. ...........

If mine waver I’ll have their guts for garters. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

That’s probably an accurate description of the situation as it will develop.

Many if not most of the NO votes will be fake phony conservative posturing as insurance for re-election.

Good article, but I'm confused by the last sentence...

"...Do no take this wrong politically, but we must 'march to the left.'

Any thoughts?

I think the GOP-e really wishes we were just as stupid or ignorant and let them be.
***************************
That was a very good entire posting that nailed the situation! I found nothing that I disagreed with there.

The NAMES of remaining RINOs who do not vote to defeat cloture, need to be spread far and wide for all to see... and McConnell must be defeated in his primary.

Regrettably, I fear both of my Georgia Senators will stay true to their backstabbing ways and will vote for Cloture, and then in the plurality vote, vote against the bill. But the damage will be done, and they will both come home lying about how they voted to defund Obamacare....

11 more votes against cloture and that’s game.

Who are the 11 Vichy Swine without a Spine, that is the question...

Again, during the Reagan years and Bush the Elders, the Dem's sent us Bills that were Rotten Limburger Cheese Sandwiches more than once ( That scoundrel George Mitchell comes to mind ) that Republican Presidents had to sign and metaphorically eat it.

Send Obama a bill he can't stand and let him man up and veto it and or come to the table to negotiate.

It is time to do it, it is time for McConnell to grow a pair period...

I’m in New York so I won’t bother contacting Uncle Democrat and his imp, but I have the only NYC Congressman with an R behind his name. I wrote him five times in the last two months and joined 2000 of my closest friends in a one day blitz to switch him against allowing King Barack to lend al Qeada our Air Force. The pressure worked. The very next day he switched sides to our side.
Keep telling your friends and family to sign Ted’s petition.

Good article, but I'm confused by the last sentence...

It's a Grant reference. From the article...

General Ulysses S. Grant lost his first battle after being given command over all the Union forces. Rather than taking the lead of his predecessors and retreating, he gave a very famous order, "march to the left." In other words, we're not retreating, we're not retiring, we are going to engage the enemy across the entire line.

Ah, many thanks....I missed it..I was up late..couldn’t sleep, and the brain was fuzzy. We are so attuned to ideology, the “right” and the “left”..that I thought maybe something was fishy...LOL

Sick and tired of listening to GOP talking heads saying o-care should be passed just so we can blame the ensuing disaster on the donks. They are willing to totally destroy the healthcare system and economy in the US just so they can maybe win a couple more seats in the Senate.
