“Treachery” is a perfect word for this nightmare onyx!! Almost all of the GOP voted for this thing. Barry and Hillary and the rest of their globalist puppet masters are pushing it HARD. And our guys are going along with those rat bastards!!?!! Ted Cruz voted for this also!!!!! I still can’t believe he would do it! I feel like I have been kicked in the gut by him over this. Ted supporting Hillary and Barry!? Giving them MORE power!!? I still can’t believe it. I’m old enough to know better than to trust any politician.....but I REALLY thought Ted Cruz was different. I felt like I did with RR when I listened to Ted. Wrong again I guess.

I'd like to know the names of the patriot FIVE.

Oh my.
Ted Cruz was NOT one of the patriot five?
What about Mike Lee?
I’m surprised Rand Paul went along with this treachery, too.

Susan Collins of Maine, the archetypal RINO, plus Lee of Utah, Sessions & Shelby of Alabama and Paul of Kentucky.

“Why is everyone mad at McConnell and forgiving Cruz?”

I think partly because McConnell (and Boner) LIED to the American public about stopping Obama’s illegal legislation.

But 48 other Republican Senators didn’t have to vote for it. 33 Democrats voted against Obama. Only 13 supported him.

Paul voted against it and now goes to the top of my list. However, I wish Jeff Sessions would run an that we could clone him. he is amazing, right on every issue.

He just voted to advance it again without his Amendment! Paul is once again is the ONLY Presidential Candidate to vote against it.
