My problem with Cruz concerning Obamacare is the following. He doesn’t seem to understand that federal Obamacare is unconstitutional for the simple reason that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.

Also the Tea Party should start recall effort recalling all Senators and Representatives they can. The States that do not support recall a concentrated effort should be to work towards getting a conservative Contitutionalist candidate on the ballot.

And that has stopped Obamacare? Wake up. You cannot stop the communists that are in power.

I hope there is a way that we can strip retirement money from the ones that voted for Obamacare to stay.They won't retire. They will die in office, then continue to vote with the rats for another year or so.

They have to start with McCain because he still has 3 more years left in office. And even if he did retire after that, we need to make a loud and clear statement. Recall Obama’s right hand man John S. McCain.

Please help me understand....
- McConnel et al voted FOR cloture
- Now they’re voting to defund
- Cloture makes it harder to do that
- So now his vote is purely symbolic... but essentially he was for it before he was against it....
Please correct my misunderstandings.

25 Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Harry Reid and President Obama to close discussion on defunding/funding ObamaCare: Alexander
Ayotte
Barrasso - Disappointed with him
Blunt
Boozman
Burr
Chambliss
Chiesa - Boy did guy turn out to be a disappointment
Coats
Coburn - Mark Levin's pal proves once again that he's now PART of the establishment
Cochran
Collins
Corker
Cornyn
Graham
Hoeven
Isakson
Johanns
Johnson (WI) - Et tu, Ron?
Kirk - Gee, another issue where Kirk lied about being "with us". Funny how that works
McCain
McConnell
Thune - But it doesn't matter how he votes, because he's handsome and speaks well and defeated Daschle 9 years ago. He deserves a promotion no matter what he does.
Wicker
Meanwhile, the 19 who stood with Senators Cruz and Lee to keep pushing for defunding ObamaCare are:
Crapo
Cruz
Enzi - No doubt Liz Cheney fans will claim he only did so because she's challenging him in the primary, and ignore that he's ALWAYS been a reliable vote on this issue Fischer
Grassley
Heller
Inhofe
Lee
Moran
Paul
Portman - Still a RINO douche anyway
Risch
Roberts
Rubio - See Portman comments
Scott
Sessions
Shelby
Toomey
Vitter
Two Republican senators abstained from voting:
Flake - They don't call him Flake for nothing
Hatch
Liberal socialist who caucuses with Republicans but votes with the Democrats:
Murkowski

To: Servant of the Cross
And of the nineteen, at least Enzi and Rubio are likely pretending in order to get their conservative "creds" back so they won't be primaried.
The GOP Senators have totally screwed the House Republicans, left them twisting in the breeze.
They now have a totally losing hand to play.

Looks like 19 Senators worthy of our defense when the second Revolutionary War begins.

Cut the crap, Enzi is one of the democrats best friends, the author of taxing the internet bill as his signature example of being conservative, the best friend of Harry Reid who will never fight for a conservative cause. The typical go along to get along Senator. He did this opposed to his normal crap in order to NOT get primaried, and for no other reason.
He needs to leave.

Really? How many here in FR hate Marco Rubio’s guts?
To: LS
I had the exact same thought as I’ve been trying to contact his office without success. Pleasantly surprised, especially since he’s not up for re-election in ‘14 (and on the heels of his gay marriage fiasco).
