It's not like I expect you to ever agree with me. Gotta go find bigger fish to fry.

Talk vs action.
Cruz voted for Corker....which is how we got here. If McConnell lied to him he should have came to FR before he put his trust in him and we would have all told him that it was going to happen. Of course Cruz already knew that but he voted yes anyway.
Keep on making excuses for Judas...you are looking like an idiot.
I also voted for Sara Palin in 2008.
From what I can see, a lot of it tends to be attempts to build up other candidates by slamming Cruz.
If Cruz had voted against it we would still be here, and he would look pretty darn silly trying to use the requirements of a bill he voted against to stop the treaty.
This way Cruz did not undercut and eliminate or discredit his ability to push for stopping the bill on the basis of non-complience of the bill by the administration.
Sometimes what you are left with is your best strategy.
The bigger problem has become the lawlessness of the administration and the GOP cowardness on opposing it.
Cruz is on record as a signatory to THE legislation that got us here. When you cut through all the propaganda and theater that is the absolute nut of it.
I've long thought that the state park in Weehauken (NJ) where Burr shot Hamilton should be turned into the National Dueling Grounds for situations such as these. We would erect grandstands, and ESPN would cover them.
The first use would have been a decade ago when Chris Matthews insulted Michelle Malkin on his show. The next night, Zell Miller came on the show and told Matthews that his treatment of Malkin was ungentlemanly, unacceptable and that he would have challenged Matthews to a duel were such a thing legal.
A duel between Zell Miller and Chris Matthews would have been a ratings bonanza for ESPN.
Compromise does not mean you vote for legislation that results in America losing.
If they followed the law you are complaining about, they deal would not be approved. Cruz is trying to hold to that law and shut down the approval.
If the Corker bill had not been approved (he voted for it) it would have required 2/3 vote to pass. Period.
I should have used the word stategize instead of compromise in post #46
That is what he did.
I like that...a national dualing grounds.
That would keep the chicken hearts from getting into politics and it would help with term limit some of thd older and slower.
And Cruz could not have stopped that bill. If he makes them hold to the bill, the approval of the deal is stopped.
Sorry you cannot understand that. Have a great night.
You and I have a fundamental disagreement. No worries.
Cruz voted for Corker and Obama wins again because of the Corker bill. Cruz then jumps up and down screeching that McConnell lied to him and that Obama is breaking the law. Obama and McConnell give Cruz the middle finger and you come on here trying to convince everyone that Cruz has a strategy. You call it smart, I call it either stupidity or complicity. Either way it ISN’T leadership.
Have a great night.

The GOP is so dead. Useless and dead.
