this guy is doing this for NO OTHER REASON than to ingratiate himself to the teabag idiots who will be voting in the primaries

he knows he has zero chance of defunding ACA yet he thinks the federal government is his own personal playground for self aggrandizement

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a diagnosed sociopath

OF COURSE he is doing it for nothing more than to revvv up the base.   Getting the obamacare undone at this point is impossible - BUT getting elected president in 2016 is still possible.  So he's pushing for that. 


nobody is here saying "Cruz is going to defeat obamacare".

What they're saying it "this dude hates obamacare, so do I, and therefore I will support him in 2016".

I think it's entirely possible he can win the nomination in 2016.   Repubs keep putting up moderates and they keep losing by 50 electoral votes.

At some point, they will go conservative, pass on Christie, Jeb, etc... and choose ONE candidate from the far-right.  It's sad to see 5 conservatives split 80% of the vote, and some joker RINO wins with 19% lol.

no chance in hell

he can only appeal to the craziest people in the party and they are not nearly enough to give him the nomination

the prevalent thinking is that Republicans can abandon that "only a RINO can get elected" mindset after the last 2 RINOs they selected were soundly defeated.

And in 2016, possibly up against a militant Dem like Hilary, they darn sure better run with a tea party candidiate.  Cause the only real policy differences between Christie and Hilary are the 70 pound spare tire he brings, and the 30+ years at high level govt she brings.  No contest.

HOWEVER - a rand or a cruz really COULD differentiate himself from her.

I think this video will be played over and over in 2016 primaries.  I think cruz has made some stupid moves lately.  We need 100 jesse helms and you want to read dr seuss on the taxpayer's dime?  Come on, dude.

Barring a total catastrophe, a Republican will never attain the Presidency again. Additionally, prepare for permanent Democratic majorities in the Senate and Congress.

The Liberals have won the demographic battle. They encompass overwhelmimg majorities amongst racial minorities, control academia, have majorities amongst the very wealthy, and have near unanimous backing of the media and entertainment industries.

Cruz also talked star wars...this guy is awsome. No Dem except maybe Grayson would do anything like this to try and save anything they believed in. It might not be a real flibuster but he got the Dems to engage him and he got his points across...plus re-identified the RINO"s to everybody.

They have nowhere near a lock. Their cockiness is at an all time high...but the truth is is that all the unique factors which came together for Obama will simply not be there for hillary. And 240 is right; they HAVE to put a true conservative up there on the ballot...RINOS will always lose for the reasons he outlined above

yeah, ask any getbigger to tell us 5 differences between Hilary and Christie.  I bet they can't.

They WILL recognize he looks to be 70 pounds overweight.
They WILL recognize she has 30 years of relevant national experience, and he has 3.   Yes, three.  In 2009, he was a DA in NJ, right?  Today he wants to be president.  

Now, you ask a getbigger to list differences between Rand and Hilary, and I bet 5-10 would be EASY to list!

  When are people going to wake up and see that US and frankly all world politics is a zero sum game.  We always lose out no matter who is in charge at the time.  And saying he is wasting money doing this is crazy compared to what is really going on worldwide.  The deficit is unsustainable and WILL collapse the entire global monetary system sooner rather than later.  Who gives a flying fuck if the puppet in the white house has a D or R after their name when that happens.  Call me a conspiracy nut, but first do some math and figure out for yourself what it would take to get out of the financial mess the US is in.  It's impossible.  We have passed the point of no return and everything that is being done is just buying time for the elites to finalize their plans.  Ted Cruz reading a kids story is just a funny story to keep the sheep occupied and arguing amongst themselves whilst the oligarchs are sharpening their knives to cut our throats and then run and hide in their bunkers.  Forget about politics, you and I have absolutely no power over anything that happens there.  We do have control, albeit dwindling, over most of our most basic needs and that is what we should be reinforcing and bulking up for the coming crisis.  What awaits in the near future will be catastrophic and permanent.  The world will never be the same.

Oh, did a political analysis of the situation suddenly make me a hilary kneepadder.

No.  No, good sir.  there's no need to group me in with those who will blindly support her.  I'd like to be very clear on that, so we don't immediately go down the road to insults and all that.  I'm just giving my opinion of what voters will do.  You know, those 10 to 12% of swing voters who don't know right now who they'll vote for in 2016.  I mean, 47+47% of people already know Dem or Repub.  The swing voters are all that matter.

And yeah, I really believe if Obama can have 46% today, and if HIlary was at 66% approval when she left Sec State office (yes, she was that high) - Then yeah, I think only 1/3 of voters would consider her job to be graded FAILING.

Again, I'm not endorsing her, i"m just pointing out that 2/3 of americans don't think she had a fail.

LOL... I never said voters were brilliant, informed, or even competent. 

I'm just saying when 2/3 of americans THINK she did a good job, that's a huge obstacle.

And yeah, Christie will look like a fat guy with the same ideas.  And yeah, Rubio will look like a baffled kid with the same ideas.

Rand?  Cruz?  They can feed hilary 30 years worth of her own shit ideas and do so with DIFFERENT ideas.

exactly

her filibuster actually meant something where Cruz's was nothing but Ted showboating for his base of loonies

The other Republican Senator from Texas also took to floor and reminded Cruz that even shutting down the government wouldn't prevent funding of the ACA as ~ 85% of the spending is MANDATORY

Repubs in the Senate HATE TED CRUZ

Cruz had the national spotlight where he could have done some good and instead he read a child's book.  What a jerk.  We need a single payer insurance system, Medicare for All, and we got some deranged politician playing up to the lunatic rightwing fringe.

Thank god Mr. Cruz that you will fight to keep people uninsured in this country. 

You're doing the lord's work.  over 45,000 people die per year b/c of lack of insurance and this guy is making a joke out of it.  No statesmen in politics, just wastes of space like Cruz....

Of course he did.  In fact the procedural vote would've gone into effect some 20 hrs earlier.  And that belies the tabling issue before the public speaking crap even began.


Now leave me be as I mourn yet another loss from the greatest of football teams.

Lot's of right wing stupidity on this thread

Cruz little stunt had a pre-negotiated ending and it was the equivalent of a petulant child being allowed to play with a toy as an effort to placate and appease it

Cruz apparently thinks his opinion along with a tiny handful of right wing morons is more important than the rest of the country

The ACA was passed by both houses of Congress.  It was deemed constitutional by the SC and THEN we had national referendum on it in the form of a presidential election (where Repubs got trounced)

Just who the fuck does this little child think he is to assume that his opinion is more important that the majority of the nation ?

Yes, and elections also determined that Repubs control the House which has the constitutional authority to defund.  ::)

Oh and where in the law is Obama authorized to give all the exemptions his administration has given out?  Must've missed that.  Guess it's all cool when hypocritical douchebag libs want to delay implementation.

tell me which exemptions you're referring to and I'll probably agree with you (btw - don't waste my time trying to tell me Congress is exempt)

If the House can truly "defund" it uni-laterally then why don't they just to that instead of threatening to shut down the government (I know the answer but just wondering if you do)

The fact that you are unfamiliar with the exemptions or even the biggest one which is delaying the employer mandate is typical of your level of knowledge...or should we more aptly note - stupidity...that you typically bring to the discussion.  And yes, although I was not referring to it, the Congress is exempt and I pointed out exactly how when you posted your biased, full of shit article on the topic.

You didn't understand it then either, but we know you're not too bright, lol.

Uh...they just pretty much did exactly that with the latest round passed to the Senate.  Of course, it's 'technically' a delay, but the doesn't change the fact that they have the authority to defund.

Second, where has the House claimed they are trying to shut down the entire government.  Show me the bill, resolution, etc., where they are trying to 'shut down the government'.

As to the phony filibuster by first class moron Ted Cruz, Senator Coburn has been trying to explain to the dunces in his party that about 85% of the spending on the ACA is MANDATORY.   Congress can't unilaterally choose not to fund it.  In fact, the spending for ACA will happen even if they shut down the government which is what makes that gambit so fucking stupid.   You harm the Republican Party and you don't even get anything in return.

The reason, Coburn argued, is that most of the spending in Obamacare is mandatory, and the spending cannot be touched, even if the GOP were to shut down the rest of the government. He cited a new Congressional Research Service report that found as much.

"There's not a legislative method that we have that is capable of defunding it short of 67 votes in the U.S. Senate, short of two-thirds [of the] votes in the U.S. House," Coburn said, referring to the number of votes needed to override the presidential veto that would be sure to block any attempt to defund the law.

That's right.  B/c he's a dangerous man.  He angries up the great unwashed right wing with tales of destroying health insurance for most americans b/c that is the american thing to do.  Providing healthcare, at its fundamental level, is really Nazi-like and HItleresque.

Why anyone would find Cruz to be a champion of anything other than cloddish opportunism is a bit of a mystery.

I'm not afraid of black people.  So I hope they can get all they want for their own.  They have a song and dance intheir souls.

The american right, where the great unwashed are concerned, always undercuts its own position(economically) while it takes a wet one in the shorts just to stick a knife in the backs of their countrymen. 

You are of a strange lot, you 'property over people' sort.

Property rights are fine gifts from our federal government.  No doubt about it.

But the rightwing likes to make unpropertied people suffer.  Much like the aristocracy, the slavers, and feudal lords that are the golden boys of the american right.  IT's not enough that poverty is both incidental and intentional, either way, you have to have your boot on the poor person's throat.  Why is that?  You think poverty is such a score that people are clamoring for it?  For the dependency of big government and its ample teats?  You really think that's how life works?  Do you see yourself as the great defender of the monied elites?  They don't need your help.  They already own you.

Have you ever been to Cuba or NK or Russia?  You must have to comment so keenly on those places, comrade.

Ok. "enshrined....in the USC"  No.  This is not religion.  What are property rights?  The Right to own property is memorialized in the laws of men of the US.  The laws of the US were created by men. Read that again.  Without those laws you have no property rights.  No money, No judicial recourse in the event of theft or dispute, You are nothing without the man-made property rights.

That's sort of undeniable.  Whatever you were trying to convey just comes off as more unintelligible rightwing hogwash. 

The government is the source of all your laws and rights. 

End of story....unless the government says otherwise.

tell our new poster what you really think "property rights" means

you know, that the evil government is infringing upon your rights with things like building codes, zoning laws, and telling you that you can't discriminate in housing, etc...

you like to pretend that your rights exist inside some kind of bubble and aren't actually created and maintained by the government you hate so much

Addressed in your full of shit thread.  You're too stupid to understand even the basics, you've never even read the health care bill, and you just mindlessly lap up what the Democratic base tells you lap up.

And?  I haven't said anything to the contrary.  Go back and read what I read, then keep in mind the fact that YOU added the word 'unilaterally', and come back with an intelligent response. 

Making up a postion I haven't taken and then arguing against the position...well, that pretty much is why you're known as Dumbfuck.



Since you've attempted to divert, I'll bring it back to my original topic with you. 

You still don't even know the exemptions.

You still can't show where the House wants to shut down the government.
