“Even though millions of voters rose up just one month ago to protest how President Obama and the Senate Democrats were running Washington, business as usual is continuing inside the marble halls of the United State Congress,” Cruz said

“I would note that a whole lot of citizens across the country feel a little bit like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football, wherein fight after fight leadership in Congress says, we’ll fight next time — not this time, no, no, no. The wise thing to do is to fight in a month, fight in two months,” he said on the Senate floor.

Dear Senator Cruz, you are indeed speaking our heart. I am glad to call you "Senator" with the respect that title entails.

Cruz, the "firebrand conservative freshman from Texas"...

Hmmm...

I'm trying to recall the last time I heard a media reference to "staunchly liberal Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid", or "left-wing newcomer Elizabeth Warren."

As long as they don’t call him the LION of the Senate as well. lol If you remember, Robert KKK Byrd had always been called the CONSCIENCE of the Senate in times past.

John McCain is a maverick because he sides with liberals,
Ted Cruz is a maverick because he sides with conservatives.

Which one is the real maverick?

““This procedural tool will ensure that every Senator will be on record regarding the constitutionality of President Obama’s illegal amnesty,” said Cruz’s spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.”

THIS is why I like Cruz.

Notice that the MSM never, ever refers to any Democrats as “firebrands” or characterizes their actions as “blowing up” anything.

McConnell and Boehner keep forgetting they are supposed to be the opposition to Obama and the Democrats.

With what I know so far... Cruz is the person I hope is elected POTS in 16.

Cruz took to the floor late Friday to castigate congressional leaders for trying to pass the 1,600-page spending bill after only a few hours of debate and questioned the resolve of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to fight Obama’s executive order protecting five million illegal immigrants from deportation.

...

It’s good to see someone call out the GOPe on its treachery.

Amen. Dear LORD, please raise up support and aid for Senators Cruz, Lee, and Sessions from among their colleagues and from across the country. Amen.

A senior Senate Democratic aide said the Senate may hold up to 40 procedural votes on nominees this weekend due to what he called the “extreme pettiness on the part of Republicans.”

Translation:

Governing would be so much more fun if we didn't have to deal with what those pesky citizens want.
