Shame on the GOPe, everyone of them up for reelection needs to be replaced.

Mitch McConnell’s efforts to fund the government without attacking Planned Parenthood. In an unusual rebuke, even fellow Republicans denied him a “sufficient second” that would have allowed him a roll call vote.
Then, his Republican colleagues loudly bellowed “no” when Cruz sought a voice vote, a second repudiation that showed how little support Cruz has: Just one other GOP senator — Utah’s Mike Lee — joined with Cruz as he was overruled by McConnell and his deputies.
It was the second time that Cruz had been denied a procedural courtesy that’s routinely granted to senators in both parties. The first came after he called McConnell a liar this summer.

God bless Mike Lee. He stands with Ted Cruz. Maybe in the background, but he’s still there.
The rest are sniveling cowards. Someday the people will rise up and they will be gone.
Cruz is the only one doing what his voters elected him to do.
Sen. Cruz SPEECH: The Real Story of What Is Happening in Washington (Sep 28, 2015 – 59:47)Ted Cruz couldn’t get anyone in the Senate to back him tonight as he tried to get a ban on Planned Parenthood funding and a linkage of the Iran Nuclear deal in a government funding bill. He stood alone on the Senate floor:
Cruz’s amendment would place a one-year ban on federal funding for Planned Parenthood. It would also ban the Obama administration from using funds from the short-term bill to implement the Iran nuclear deal or any “assessed contributions” to the United Nations until lawmakers receive the “side deals” between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).The “side deals” have been a key point of contention among opponents of the deal. Cruz and House Republicans have suggested that the 60-day congressional review period for the Iran nuclear deal hasn’t started because the administration hasn’t given lawmakers the agreements.
After the procedural back-and-forth, Cruz slammed Republican leadership, suggesting they repeatedly “surrender” to President Obama.
“You know, President Obama has negotiated a catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran. Republican leadership goes on television all the time and rightly says this is a catastrophic deal,” he added. “I would suggest that if we actually believed the words that are coming out of their mouths, then we should be willing to use any and all constitutional authorities.”
After this Cruz launched into an hour speech, one that Mark Levin just tweeted out saying it’s a MUST LISTEN.
Being rebuked by the likes of Mitch “Obama’s B*tch” McConnell is a badge of honor.
Only fools would, in this political climate, oppose popular conservative initiatives. To do it blatantly, as McConnell and his ilk are doing will only help toss them into the dustbin. Be gone you spineless GOP-e Senators!
Thank you, Ted Cruz, for fighting against all odds.
We know the GOPe hates us. And, guess what, we hate them back, only more. (Not Christian, but Jesus understands.)
The other day Boehner was asked what he thought of Ted Cruz's presidential run. Boehner directed an “obscene gesture” at the camera.
They are suppose to do what is right BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT whether it results in a final win or not.
yes it is
Cruz is our Mr. Smith gone to Washington. He is standing strong for us in a den of lions where he is hated. If you don’t believe how much he is hated than just read the comment section on the politico article. The sad thing is that many conservatives are so enamored of a liberal entertainer that they have been ignoring the conservative champion of our time. Its time for us to quite messing around and get behind Cruz to go take our country back.
It is going to take a lot to get past the circus and get people to sober up in time for the election.

Rebuke THIS you Socialist RINO pigs.
It’s been clearly shown in the videos that Planned Parenthood
doesn’t give a darn about the women who go in to get abortions . They don’t give a darn about the law that says they can’t alter their procedures to collect fetal tissue (murdered baby parts) either . They certainly don’t give a darn about babies that are born alive at their facilities after all they have no problems with slicing into their heads to get brain tissue while they are still wiggling .
By doing what he is doing he is complicit in the murder of all these babies . Murdering babies is NOT and has never been health care .
Shame on the GOPe, everyone of them up for reelection needs to be replaced.
Exactly.
Wow.
