WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tonight issued the following statement after S.1881, a bill to prohibit federal funding of Planned Parenthood, failed to reach the 60-vote threshold required for cloture:
"Last week, the Senate had an opportunity to stop the unconscionable use of taxpayer funds to murder unborn children. Instead, Republican leadership blocked a recorded vote on amendments to defund Planned Parenthood.
"Although the effort to reach cloture on a standalone bill failed tonight, this should not deter us in the fight to eliminate taxpayers' funds being used to bankroll the abortion industry and what appears to be the ongoing criminal organization of Planned Parenthood.
"I encourage my colleagues to continue to fight to defund this organization that places more value on the sale price of babies' body parts than it does on the sanctity of human life. We should not rest until we have done everything in our power to protect the life of unborn children. Ensuring no additional federal dollars go to the abortion industry or Planned Parenthood is a good place to start. This is why it is critical that we stand together to insist that not another dollar of our hard-earned money goes to a group profiting from the buying and selling of the body parts of babies."

Pfft... Saving human life? McConnell and Boehner have D.C. cocktail parties to attend to, back room deals to be hashed out. Harrumph Harrumph!!
Oh my God.....you have turned high school! That is really dumb. I don’t care what people think about me. I care what my wife and 4 children and my friends think. I DO NOT care about a bunch of internet people. I am SHOCKED that you care. That is rather sad in my opinion. I thought better of you. Oh well if you need the acceptance from the internet anonymous people then I guess you need it. Good luck.
It’s been another massively conservative day on FR. Today I learned that being a world cop in the Ukraine is what America needs to be doing and the founders words on foreign entanglements were voided with the Paris treaty, That Cruz is a liberal that cant get shit done, that one can support every leftist Republican with no issue to their principled conservatism and that Ann Coulter supporting Romney has no bearing on her illegal stance whatsoever.
Imagine what I’ll learn tomorrow!
Please. you are ranting on Cruz like a liberal. Act like a Conservative or go to DU.
That is BS. I am being factual. You like Cruz for some reason. I like Walker and thankfully he has a much better chance of being President. I am sorry that you feel like I am pissing on your little candidate but I use my brain. You are being emotional.
I have learned that Walker is an unethical sleaze who is talking credit for the work of a heavily republican legislature.
You are being a liberal.
Yea about that...some of us tried warning people about him too.
So emotional you are.
Walker was pro-abortion pro-amnesty until he decided to make anrunnfor the presidency. Not my words, but those of the talkies on American Family Radio. He is CoC, GOPe through and through.
I often tear up when I realize how right I am. I am awesome.
Yup. But conservatives seem to like supporting the abortion industry. 70 million of them in 12 IIRC.
If they didn’t they wouldn’t keep backing liberals in the GOP. Simple math. Some learn, some throw tantrums in order to get people to accept their liberal voting.
Come to think of it, they have a lot in common with the homos demanding their perversions be accepted too.
Walker has the record of fighting and winning against Democrats. We saw Madison Dems in fits of apoplexy and practically blind with rage over their inability to unseat that guy. Have we forgotten so soon? He does the one thing we ask of any Republican: he fights!
So? He runs to the USCOC for cash. you think he’s gonna fight them on illegals? He’s at best a situational ethicist. He is what his WHOLE record is. Not what you want him to be.

Your boy hasn’t won anything legislatively. All he had to do was sign what was shoved under his new by a Republical legislature.

We may not have the chance to vote for a Conservative again in our lives, for a long time at least, so I heard Mark Levin say. Hence, I will vote for Cruz if given the opportunity. I also do not badmouth ‘some’ of the competition. Some of them are good as well.
Walker is a corrupt GOPe sleaze. It will catch up with him.
