Or a duel. McConnell: You calling me a liar? Cruz: I am. McConnell: I challenge you to a duel! Cruz: Accepted. Day of duel: McConnell's wrist is weak and he draws too slowly. Bang! A single shot and McConnell slumps to the dirt, dead. And so begins the nationwide Purge. Social Welfare spending is vastly reduced by the next year. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'd like to see Cruz beat McConnell and McCain's asses with his gold headed cane. Or a duel. McConnell: You calling me a liar? Cruz: I am. McConnell: I challenge you to a duel! Cruz: Accepted. Day of duel: McConnell's wrist is weak and he draws too slowly. Bang! A single shot and McConnell slumps to the dirt, dead. And so begins the nationwide Purge.

If I were a US Senator and someone made a statement to me that was so monumental it influenced the way I was going to vote I'd have gone to that person or their office and asked for the statement in writing if they wanted my vote. If I didn't get written assurances I'd either abstain or vote against the measure. When people speak with one another sometimes there can be miscommunications it doesn't always necessarily mean someone intended to be untruthful. Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment was "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican." I think that's good advice. There is a way to handle things and there is a way NOT to handle things. Going to the press and pulling a "he said, she said" argument is pretty worthless frankly. I don't think the Majority Leader is a bad guy or a RINO. He's doing the best he can under the circumstances, which haven't been ideal for Republican since 2006. I hope you are a well paid shill.

LOL...Ted Cruz is about, well, Ted Cruz. There are two reasons he did what he did other than just being peevish. #1....He needed to breakout a bit from the pack to be included in next month's debates. #2....He needed to raise mo money. Even after sacrificing any real future in the Senate he's still tied at 7th with Rand Paul. He did pick-up 15 million from the billionaire Wilks brothers (worth 3 billion) that he will be beholden to. 36M of the 38M Cruz has on hand has been donated by four mega donors. 
He likes the Constitution thingy too. Even the original intent of the Founders. What a novel concept! Cruz would be "beholden" to two brothers that own a business that produces domestic energy? Oh no! Some K Street Chamber of Commerce & Boeing lobbyists would have been much better. Right? |

How do you get elected and get your message out without calling out rhino's ? Yes, you have to raise money, yes you have to advertise and get your message out. If I had to give I'd give a few million myself. I going to support the person who represents my interest. Cruz isn't fitting in with the establishment, well, that's a good thing in my book. The old establishment is what got this country in the mess it's in now. The only way to change that is put people in office that's have the nuts to buck the system. He's walked his talk as best he could alone. The more support a person gets the more they can do. Me, I looking for change. He represents that. |

Piss poor hill for Cruz to die on IMHO and die he will when future committee assignments are made. After calling a man a liar where else are you going to go?

Cruz's butt-hurt vitriol would have been better spent on building support among like-minded Senate GOPers to oust McConnell. Lord knows he needs to go. It just proved to me that Cruz is not ready for prime time.....Not that I ever had any questions about that.  You sound like a man of principles. Just kidding. You sound like you are off your nut....As usual.....Not kidding. 
Back to the zoo Rhino enabler. You obviously have very little integrity and are what everyone hates about politics. Allowing a liar to continue because you're afraid of the consequences.

This thread makes me sad. More and more I am convinced there is no path to to turn this country around from falling into complete socialism.
A man stands up and calls out a liar making dirty underhand deals to pass a bill that further weakens our sovereignty and he is ridiculed by the "conservative" base. I wish more would do this, and on a regular basis. Many in this thread need to look at what integrity means and fix themselves or admit they will give up a "little freedom" for security or for a piece of the pie. Maybe Bernie Sanders is more to your liking for someone to rally around? IMO you are far more pathetic and more of a root cause of our slide than McConnell. Pick a side and stand firm. This wishy washy shit is no way for a "man" to live. |

RINOS hate Cruz
Mitt Romney @MittRomney
I am opposed to the Iran deal, but @SenTedCruz is way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause. According to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is essentially financing terrorism. And he’s not backing down after the president called his comments “outrageous.”
“If this deal is consummated, it will make the Obama administration the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism,” Cruz said during a round table Tuesday. “Billions of dollars under control of this administration will flow into the hands of jihadists who will use that money to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans.” Cruz has said the remarks before. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/ted-cruz-calls-barack-obama-sponsor-terrorism-iran-nuclear-deal-120780.html#ixzz3hNQR3P7x |

Sure would be terrible if they made him whip out that pen and put his name to paper. They would actually have to show they had the spines they clearly do not. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It takes 60 votes to override a veto. They do not have that. I suggest you look at how many threats to veto Obama has made. Sure would be terrible if they made him whip out that pen and put his name to paper. They would actually have to show they had the spines they clearly do not. That's incorrect. It takes 60 to make him whip out his pen and put his veto on paper. It takes 67 in the Senate and 2/3rds in the House to over ride his pen and paper. Name the 6 Democrats or "independents" that you apparently believe will put their name on the paper in the first place. Name one lol. |

That's weird, I could have sworn there was an opposition party. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Let me help you: Jimmy Carter 13 regular vetoes and 18 pocket vetoes. Ronald Regan 39 regular vetoes and 39 pocket vetoes. George H.W. Bush 29 regular vetoes and 15 pocket vetoes. Bill Clinton 36 regular vetoes and 1 pocket veto. George W. Bush 11 regular vetoes and 1 pocket veto. Barack Hussein Obama 4 regular vetoes. Now what do you glean from the information above? That's weird, I could have sworn there was an opposition party. With majorities in both houses. You'd never know it though.

They don't have a supermajority to overcome vetoes,. Let me help you: Jimmy Carter 13 regular vetoes and 18 pocket vetoes. Ronald Regan 39 regular vetoes and 39 pocket vetoes. George H.W.

Now what do you glean from the information above? Misleading claptrap Democrats took Congress in 2006. By 9/07 Bush vetoed 3. One from Reid/ Pelosi. Obama vetoed Keystone and Obama's executive regulatory Union "Card Check" from this Congress. |

John Boehner looked me in the eye last year and said his Number one priority was to fight Obama on every single over-reach and to repeal Obamacare.....Still waiting
McConnell, McCain, etc, are a bunch of useful idiots for the Democrats--What do they actually STAND for? Those fucking morons passed a bill to waive a CONSTITUTIONAL right they possess to say yes or no to treaties, virtually guaranteeing Iran will have a nuclear weapon within 3 years... And if you get butt-hurt because someone calls someone else out for lying to his face--tells me all I need to know about you and your word right there... |

I bet all the Cruz dumpers on here were cheering when that congressman yelled "YOU LIE!" at Obama.
I fail to see the difference. |
