We need to go Galt on the Republicans. Nothing good will follow until they're completely flushed down the toilet, and that includes "The Architect", aka Turdblossum.

I'll support Tea Partiers, but RINOs like Cornyn need to go.

They like being in office. They want to stay in office for the perks and power and prestige. They figure no matter what they say the Tea Partiers will vote for them so they try to earn favor with the democrats. They’re in for a big surprise come next election.

OK, it’s all too arcane for me. It seems the House gave the Senate a bill with defunding in it. Now Cruz does a quasi-filibuster, knowing that he can’t muster the votes to keep the the defunding clause (amendment) in the package. If he knows he can’t win over enough senators, why wouldn’t the House Republicans be a little PO’d, knowing that he is just telling them to do more of the same?

I’m genuinely asking someone to give me a synopsis of Cruz’ strategy. I loved what he said in the ‘filibuster,’ but don’t see how it can play out to a winning hand.

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) lashed out at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) saying he's 'tired of being abused' ...

Said another way ... Rep. Sean Duffy LIKES being abused by SanFranNan.

So are any democrats attacking Ted Cruz or are they letting their pet republicans do it all?

Darn good question.

“And you saw us explode publicly when they started waving the white flag and saying, listen, we’re not going to fight here. We’re going to send it back to the House, and they can fight it there.”

Nitwit. Last time I checked, the democrats controlled the senate.

Amen brother.
McCain is on his twitter account, tweeting about a damn TV show, now we know why he couldn’t make the senate floor.
Each day that moron (I include Linda) puts another nail in the coffin of freedom.

OK, I think I found my answer to what the Cruz strategy is: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3071198/posts

But it clearly is Senate conservatives putting the screws to House Republicans. The conservative Senators essentially get a free pass with the cloture vote, while he House Republicans get the hell kicked out of them. I can see where that might be a little galling.

Sean Duffy replaced that disgusting David Obey that got re-elected way too many times. From the upper left coast of Wisconsin, wayyyy toooo close to the lefty Minnenoplace land of lefties.

We were happy to have him, actually, but very disappointed to read this. He’s voted with the GOP mostly, but some controversial things, like this. And THIS is totally UN-acceptable.

Wisconsinites / call his office.

STUPID party still bashes it’s own. Disgusting.

So, a guy whose rating from the Right to Life Committee is 100% and is 88% with the National Conservative Union is a “RINO”? This is getting ridiculous. We won’t win another election in my lifetime.

Sean Duffy is a big sissy. Probably a member of DC’s Limpwristed Club.

The House has to make up for the craven Senate RINOS.

I don’t get why you are making such statements. The Senate conservatives get a free pass on nothing. They have gone to the mat over this, while their RINO colleagues not only won’t join them but go out and trash them. That’s not the fault of the conservatives.

That’s why the pressure is all on the House.

But I will state this, flat out. This Duffy cat is not one of the good guys. He’s every bit as bad as the Senate RINOS.

For confirmation that the focus should be, and must be, on the House, see the many posts by Jim Robinson on that topic.

And JR loves Ted Cruz, no qualifiers. No ifs, ands, buts...

You could take a lesson.

Pro life is ONE issue.

On the others, he doesn’t rate that high.

Reminds me of Paul Ryan.
