TED CRUZ, PUBLIC ENEMY # 1

RECENTLY, ON SENATE MAJORITY LEADER REEDS (DEM) WATCH, THE FILIBUSTER
RULE WAS CHANGED AFTER 200 YRS OF TRADITION. THAT MEANS THAT ONLY A SIMPLE MAJORITY IS REQUIRED TO PASS A BILL (51). DURING THIS LAST DEBT CEILING
"CAVE" BY SENATE REPUBLICANS, SENATOR CRUZ WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DEMANDED A FILIBUSTER, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A 61 VOTE MAJORITY TO PASS.
THIS MEANT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAD TO "CROSS THE AISLE" FOR 4 REPUBLICAN
VOTES TO PASS THE BILL. MINORITY LEADER MC CONNELL WAS PISSED BECAUSE 4 OF
HIS MEMBERS SHOWED THEIR "TRUE COLORS" BY VOTING WITH THE DEMOCRATS,
WHICH WOULD PUT THEM AT RISK IN THEIR PRIMARY RACES.
MAJORITY LEADER REED WAS PISSED BECAUSE 6 DEMOCRATS HAD TO "COME CLEAN"
AND VOTE TO SPEND MORE OF YOUR TAX MONEY WHICH WOULD PUT THEM AT RISK
IN THEIR OWN PRIMARY RACES. MANY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ACCUSE SENATOR CRUZ OF GRANDSTANDING, OF TRYING TO POSITION HIMSELF FOR A PRESIDENTIAL SHOT. IF MY MEMORY SERVES, WASN'T JOHN MC CAIN, HILLARY AND
OBAMA GUILTY OF THAT OFFENSE?
I AM WEARY OF WATCHING MC CONNELL AND BOEHNOR MANAGE THE SURRENDER
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I ADMIRE TED CRUZ BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE IS IN
THE OPPOSITION PARTY. HE'S WILLING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN........
