It is becoming quite apparent that Cruz doesn’t want to talk about changing Washington. He wants to change Washington.
As usual Cruz does the right thing.
just goes to show the lengths that the GOP leadership will go to in order to protect the floundering Mitch McConnell
***********
Its always about THEM, not us.
"Regarding the Cruz filibuster and government shutdown, hasn't Obama himself vindicated Cruz by his dictatorial delay mandates for his partisan namesake legislation, Obamacare."
Exactly. But unfortunately, it is no longer the goal of the GOP leadership to repeal Obamacare- the money bags that now dictate GOP policy have declared that the stated intention is to "pragmatically fix" Obamacare...
But in the end the RINOs DIDN’T “protect the floundering Mitch McConnell”!
They forced him to vote for cloture when Cruz interrupted the Kabuki show.
Susan Collins and friends are clearing the way for the first female Senate Majority Leader next year IMO.
So Cornyn voted with the dims.
All the while he is running ads in Texas claiming that he stands up to Obama everyday and he is one of us.
WSJ OpEd came out against Cruz today, but I’m glad he forced the issue. Make them own it.
I watched ‘Network’ the movie again last night. It’s worth watching again. You want to talk prophesy. I think it was made in the 70’s, and it is so in your face about what Hollywood is all about.
For the folks that work in entertainment, it had to be liberating to make that film, because in perpetuity they can point to it and say, “Look, we came out and told you with complete candor what we are about and you are still tuning in.”
The other striking aspect to it is the academic level of the vocabulary. Words like ‘oraculation’ are thrown around like you ought to know what they mean.
Refreshing, actually. The dialogue in the average film or movie is somewhere around the 5th grade level - today’s 5th grade level.
When I switched on the television this morning, it was either Bloomberg or CNBC (I think it was CNBC) which was interviewing a “Republican” about the vote.
The interviewee was spinning like a top. They actually panned to a photo of Cruz.
I switched the channel. Scr_w the GOP. Pardon my language, but to heck with them.
Stand firm Cruz. You are on the right side, and our country is imploding.
Cruz / Palin 2016
The Republicans were not hurt by the shutdown and they know it. The GOP Establishment just likes to use it as an excuse for why they refuse to resist Obama and the Globalist Agenda.
(1 Michigan Republican voted for 'clean' debt ceiling bill)
Who might that be?
In the long-run, the idea that a short-term Government shut-down must be avoided at any cost, is absolutely absurd! Contrast the class of Business pundits, who wrung their hands at the idea of Cruz being able to block the debt limit extension, with the leading figures in American business in 1776, such as John Hancock, or the great Southern Planters, who not only accepted a temporary, really severe interruption of business, but the very real threat of being personally hanged, for the clear eventual benefit of their posterity.
We need to stop being on the defensive in these discussions. We need to take the fight to the compulsion driven neurotics who are betraying the American heritage, at every opportunity.
Sort out your priorities and standup to the hand-wringers, whose moral cowardice is destroying our children's future.
