I’m sure there will be at the Great White Throne Judgement. We may have to wait for it, but it’s nice to know that justice will one day be met.

From Cruzs book......

On leadership corruption and sellout......

That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, “We’re asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.

Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, that’s what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because we’re scared of this issue. We don’t want to have a political fight on this.

But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.

Now, I was sitting there — to be honest, I hadn’t gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, “There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”

If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.

And yet there are some FReepers (in another thread) who are now complaining and expressing concern over how Cruz did this!

I’m convinced that some FReepers just love to bitch about anything and everything; nothing is ever good enough for some!

Go Ted Go!!

Go Trump Go!!


Perhaps Cruz and Trump made a pact. Cruz takes out cronyism in DC and Trump takes out the GOPe candidates? A one two punch?

The Senator is making a win/lose play. If you set out to take out the king, you had better kill him in the first stroke.

It depends. If you are well placed in the king's court and you make such a play you risk all. Sir Lindsey of Graham and Sir John of McCain could never take such a risk. On the other hand, if you are already banished from the kingdom what have you to lose?

Cruz knows he has no support from McConnell and that Mitch will, if anything, work against him. A man with nothing to lose may strike at the king with impunity.

Once again the msm hangs an article on the lesser of evils involved.

The lying is but a piece of the overall corrupt cronyism that Cruz laid at the feet of both parties.

And since the media provided the Clinton vaccine against lying successful, the media hopes to have the no-info voter yawn and say “what’s new wit dat?”
