<< “I’d say re-examine your premises. We have a one party system: the gop/’rat uniparty. Some small number of reps on the gop side are actual conservatives but they’re outnumbered. I’d say we have about 15 who are consistently on our side on the Senate side, maybe 100 or so in the House.”>>

Yes, but they usually at least make an attempt to at least pretend to be conservative. This cloture vote will expose each one of them for exactly what they are — a bonafide, card-carrying member of The Uniparty. Are they stupid? Too enamored with themselves? In denial they could lose their next election? Smoking crack?

My premise is they desire reelection (unless they’re retiring). I don’t understand why they cannot see what is obvious to millions of conservatives in flyover country. After this filibuster, Cruz and other pro-Cruz participants will OWN the Holy Grail of reelection — Cruz’s endorsement in their primaries.

I listened to Paul and though he didn’t say it particularly well, he was setting Cruz up to say the CR minus ObamaCare was the compromise and Obama was not going to get 100% if that was his idea of compromise.

So, you think if we get rid of Graham, we’d lose a general? haha. Don’t worry. Our primary targets are in no-lose states.

Absolutely brilliant. I do not think this will ever be topped.

I can’t tell you how many times I read Green Eggs and Ham to my children so many long years ago..... it is also one of my favorites.

Ted Cruz could be the next ‘real’ president.

At least Durbin isn’t afraid to put a ‘D’ beside his name to match his voting. Both of my Georgia Senators are.
