All:
Good talking with all of you and being part of this epic.
Can’t keep the eyes open over here; 4:45am is calling and it sounds like a haggard old banshee right now. I put The Good Senator on CSPAN2 on the TV, and I’ll listen/watch as long as the eyes stay open...
God bless all... good night, and keep the Faith, folks.

Just read this at RedState...
Meanwhile, John Cornyn and Mitch McConnell and Lamar Alexander and other Republican Senators are leaking attacks against Cruz on background. They complained to reporters about Cruz suggesting they were cowards. They did so off the record and in the shadows.
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee will not get the forty-one votes they need to sustain their filibuster. They will be betrayed by Republican senators who are willing to fund Obamacare while claiming to vote against it. But in this filibuster and in their brilliant strategy, they have exposed Republicans who will not fight. They have exposed Republicans who are so desperate for their own reelection they will say or do anything when they could not bother in off years. They have shown Republicans that there are Republicans who are willing to stand up to Barack Obama and to the cowards within their own party.
They have also exposed a lot of people on the outside as frauds. To be sure, there are conservatives who have legitimate reasons to disagree with this strategy. But there are a whole lot who have been exposed as finger lickin’ frauds — willing to put their finger to the wind of beltway opinion to chart their course.
-------
Again, God bless Senators Cruz and Lee for leading this "brilliant strategy" to expose the frauds. Regardless of the outcome, they ARE the leaders and winners that Americans are longing for.

Haha, that’s why I’d never be elected.
I just cannot stand people who have such contempt for those whose loved one’s were murdered overseas.
To: NFHale
Goodnight. Thanks for the company during this “epic” fight ;)

Howdy, FRiends...hope all's well. Haven't heard anything from our "buddy" lately; I think Jim Rob's attitude adjustment worked.
I'm sending notes to my senators, Crapo and Risch, to tell them to get on board. They're both good, so I'm kind of confused as to why they haven't lent their support to Sens Cruz and Lee yet. But that's our job, as citizens...rattle their chains when it's needed.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Ted will probably call for a break when he needs one.
I’m starting to thing the RATS are looking at Kaine ‘16 when Hillary fails.

To: SE Mom
No kidding! Rinse Prius just had "breaking news" that the GOP (stuck their finger in the wind and) is now supporting Cruz' filibuster.
Where are the reinforcements??

well bless their little hearts...
but Im still not going to vote for their picks...
the GOPe can just go chase themselves
To: cdcdawg
Many don’t see, it is easier
to wreck the economy than build it.
Imagine all the good folks who have walked away,
and who is going to replace them?
8 million+ jobs gone and fewer business owners.
You go Mr Cruz, the US Constitution is worthwhile!
