anybody else watching ted cruz?

[bradttu]

I watched/listened last night until I fell asleep. I got up at 7:15 and he was still at it. I've been listening since then. He's in a heated exchange as I type this with Dick Durbin and Durbin is dancing around Cruz's questions and the fact that the leader of the Teamsters is against the bill. The TEAMSTERS, huge liberal supporters, don't want it. Durbin won't acknowledge it and Cruz called him out. It's awesome.

GO TED!

This is exactly why this is important. It may not kill Barry-Care, but it calls out all the culprits (republican and democrat) that won't do anything to kill it DESPITE knowing how it will hurt the country.

What really sucks is that even some (majority) of republicans do not see this for what it is. They are calling it a waste of time, that Cruz and Tea Party leaders pressured them into adding the language to defund ObamaCare and Cruz' partner, McCornyn (or however you spell it) isn’t even supporting Cruz.

The whole Republican Party with only a few exceptions has all but distanced themselves from Cruz. They don’t see it as a man standing for what the people want; they see it as a man taking valuable time away from them. That, once the vote is passed, they will not have much time to make changes/suggestions before the session is over...who GIVES A F&*K,

You put the big boy pants on and get in there and support your people....

4th longest filibuster and rising.

4th longest filibuster and rising.

They were saying on the radio that it is not really a filibuster, but a speach to block cloture or some such.

The purpose is to a) inform the american people about the pitfalls of this legislation b) piss off liberals c) uncover the Republican supporters of this bill so they can be targeted.

So, where the fuck is John Cornyn, Mr. 2nd most conservative senator?

[bradttu]

Well it's over. Man that was awesome.

I watched him until I fell asleep and woke up to him still rocking. Where was McCain? According to his Twitter, watching TV at home because he didn't want to miss his 'stories.'

Cornyn said Cruz's antics were a waste of time, or something along those lines.

Let's see how that works for him on his reelection. What he managed to do was piss off a lot of people (and I mean a lot). Informing the population about the pitfalls of this bill is not a waste of time.

While I hope that you are correct, I have lost faith that the majority in this country was even paying attention to any of this.

Well, at least we can take comfort that we're the only constituents that elected a senator that actually does what he promised he would do. Cruz has done more in his first year than any senator I can recall.
