After Reid's block, Cruz noted in remarks that the move keeps open the possibility of a government shutdown next week and a default on the national debt later in October. "He is willing to risk a government shutdown," Cruz said about Reid. "He is willing to force a government shutdown," to continue funding ObamaCare.
Cruz noted that if the Senate passed the House CR all the talk about a shutdown or government default "would just go away. Those count-down clocks that are showing up on TV, would disappear."

In chis game of political chicken, I think Cruz is driving the MACK truck and Reid the Cadillac.
You just took the words out of my mouth. Yes, and Cruz had better not blink.
Harry Reid needs to take a car ride to visit Teddy Kennedy
ALL FREEPERS NEED TO PRAY FOR TED CRUZ AND MIKE LEE!!!
Prayers are the big guns,,no doubt about that. Let’s do more! Cruz is sticking his neck out for what he believes. Let’s be inspired by that. Get out on every hostile, unfriendly blog you can think of and just say it how it is! You don’t need to engage,,just get out there and assert how this IS the right thing to do! We can do this!
I have never gone on a blog before. CALL BOTH OF YOUR SENATORS!! LOCAL OFFFICES ALSO.
I heard the Senator in the Ray Liota movie (spelling?) about cocaine was modeled after Hairy Reid. Anyone have fact to that?
Anyways, Go Ted Go!
(I also said that about Fred Thompson and Herman Cain, so I hope I’m not let down)
Stop the perpetual Obama family vacations ?
If so I'm all for a lengthy shutdown.
Even though I will become one of the unpaid.
BUMP!

“He is willing to risk a government shutdown,” Cruz said about Reid. “He is willing to force a government shutdown,” to continue funding ObamaCare.
Senator Reid also wants a single payer Medical System.
A single payer medical system means that the Government controls the entire medical industry.
Complete Government control of an industry is Communism.
Senator Reid is therefore a Communist in word and deed.
Hell, I coulda told you that years ago...He's a RAT ain't he? They all want single payer.
I'm not worried about Cruz. At all.
OK, I am a bit concerned about his health...
“He is willing to risk a government shutdown,” Cruz said about Reid. “He is willing to force a government shutdown,” to continue funding ObamaCare.”
Ted Cruz Bump.
He is doing what Republicans should have been doing a long time ago (instead of laying down like Boehner/Cantor/McConnell)—he’s turning the leftists own language on them.
Reid and Obummer owning the shutdown—that will infuriate them.
Keep saying it Ted, louder and louder.
Yes; Ted Cruz better hire a food-taster, as the Dem's fear those who actually believe in the Constitution and Freedom (look how Sarah Palin is feared).
In the end, Obamacare is here to stay, as NO Government takeover or scheme to take Rights away, and give Power where none is Constitutionally provided, EVER gets un-done.
Partial State Control is Socialism: foothold example, Romneycare.
Full State Control is Communism: foothold example, Obamacare.
How does Reid’s Nevada dirt stay hidden anyone know?
The movie is Casino.
Dick Smothers played “Nevada State Senator Harrison Roberts”, who was based on Harry Reid.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh....neither Fred nor Herman had a chance in hell, but Ted has a LOT of govt. experience.
