Ted Cruz launches faux filibuster as Senate readies spending bill vote

Cruz must be doing something right, he has all these commies peeing themselves in this thread?
 
He got to talk about why he believes the ACA sucks for 23 hours, and we are in turn all talking about it today. The procedural vote was set for 1pm today regardless of what transpired since ~2pm yesterday, and the cloture vote will happen on Saturday.

So bascially he sat there and spat the conservative line which weve heard for the last 3 years in 23 hours? And also somehow brought in his dad going to the movies and learning to speak english, then read Green Eggs and Ham, and also talked about Star Wars? Seems very very pointless. As John McCain said, "We (republicans) lost lets move on".
 
Ahhh. The hate for Hispanics from the left. He's a "white" Hispanic, you know. Prolly gave Zimmerman the gun.

If the measure of how much you're doing something right is how much it angers your enemies, Obama and Bush are the greatest Presidents ever.

Since they aren't...
 
Actually, I d modify that a not:

His hate for Obama is greater than his love for the welfare of the nation. That's the modern day conservative...

Yeah, right, you believe the welfare of the nation is to implement a federally run healthcare program that 70% of the public doesn't want and violates Obama's promise that if you want your doctor or your current plan you can keep it? Why is there such support from people like you for another federal entitlement program that is going to cost more than intended, do less than intended, and never solve the problems it was created to solve? why would you support any program created by a Congress that exempts itself from the program?

The only people I see supporting this program are young kids whose minds are full of mush and want badly to believe what they are told by an incompetent President.
 
Except that Cruz' filibuster, which technically was not a filibuster (confused yet? - LOL), lasted a little over an hour. What the hell was that? Was THAT the amount of time he was able to stand on his feet? Jesus!! I know people who stood in line for hours just to get an iPhone. Cruz - You are a *****. LOL.

Article is here.

As usual all the libs like your "conservative" OP.:lol:
 
Sorry - losers are losers. Perhaps you forget that fewer people voted for the Republican candidate too, or is that just something you file away as too hard to rationalize? Maybe if so many idiotic loser candidates hadn't been primaried into winnable Senate races by fools, more honest, hardworking, reasonable Republicans would have come to the polls in those states and helped get Romney elected. The fact that Obama, the most incompetent dolt to sit in the Oval Office in my lifetime, was reelected after all the evidence provided in his first four years tells any sane person that Republicans accomplished nothing positive in the 2012 elections and it's crazy to pretend they did.

The loser getting less votes was not all that uncommon. Especially considering the "conservative" party didn't run a conservative again.

But Obama pulled a first. Millions caught on to his incompetence and ignorance. Maybe many of those that didn't vote for him the second time will tell others why it was dumb to vote for him the second time and the education will continue.
 
I a white male Conservative so I must be a racist
 
So why would a socialist support ACA if it isn't more in line with the Marxist philosophy

1.)Im not a Marxist
2.)I believe covering more people even if its under private insurance is a step in the right direction.

Ok, so you are for forcing people to purchase something they don't want to buy? You believe that providing access assures good quality and service? Where is an example of that in anything forced upon you by the Federal Govt?

Why is this even a Federal issue? If MA is working so well why aren't all states implementing that program? You see, you are being sold a bill of goods and the ignorance of the supporters is staggering.
 
Do you have any idea the number in the labor force in TX and how many are making Federal Minimum wage? You seem to believe that is a bad thing whereas I believe living off the taxpayers is a bad thing. You want badly to believe what liberals tell you but the reality is quite different. Why aren't you holding liberals to the same standards as you hold conservatives and why didn't you respond to my post on California minimum wages which have triple the number as TX.

As for uninsured I listed a statement here about my employees that you ignored. Further I posted a question as to how many people eligible for insurance who CHOOSE not to participate are classified as not insured. That answer is easily found so don't you think you ought to find that answer before making a further fool of yourself? Is it your position that personal choice only matters when it comes to choosing to end the life of a fetus? Why aren't those who choose not to participate in insurance held to the same standard in your world?

you think Romneycare is doing well in MA? How do you know that? Any idea what the costs are in MA? you think having insurance insures quality and service? IF MA is doing so well then why isn't this a state responsibility since state taxpayers pay for the uninsured not the Federal Taxpayer?

Like all liberals it would be much better if you started thinking with the brain God gave you vs. only your heart

You are still wrong!!! The sad part is you are the only that believe's your bs. You provide nothing to back up your claims and never do you want others to post proof but you never do yourself. Just mindless rants which is par for the course with the nutballs that are running the Republican party. Take a look at Cruz you are basiccally like him.

IF you dont want to purchase insurance or go through the exchange you pay a fine. Your not forced to you have to pay a one time fine.

You believe that providing access assures good quality and service? Where is an example of that in anything forced upon you by the Federal Govt?
Yes. If we wanna go by the ol "free market" line the more people buy something and go into a competive market insurance companies will offer better coverage and compete for that better coverage.

I back my statements up all the time, go to BLS.gov, and see how many people in TX are making minimum wage and compare then go to the California Public works site and see how many are working for minimum wage in that state. I could post the information again but you and others would just ignore it and run as usual.

As for the uninsured numbers, that is easy to find as well, just Google what you want and it will appear from reputable sites. Did you ever question where the numbers of uninsured come from and what makes up those numbers? If you choose to be uninsured are you counted? If you are self insured are you counted? If you are eligible for Medicaid but don't sign up are you counted as uninsured? Don't you think those are questions that should be answered by supporters?

Seems that mindless rants to a liberal like you are any that make you think and make you look foolish.
 
TheDemSocialist;1062358312]IF you dont want to purchase insurance or go through the exchange you pay a fine. Your not forced to you have to pay a one time fine.

So you think paying a fine is going to pay for Obamacare shortfall? Why should anyone be forced to pay a federal fine for not purchasing insurance in a state whose citizens are responsible for the fees of the uninsured?


Yes. If we wanna go by the ol "free market" line the more people buy something and go into a competive market insurance companies will offer better coverage and compete for that better coverage.

More people today choose not to buy insurance or to be self insured. Do you really believe it is the responsibility of the Federal Govt. to take on personal choice issues? Why do you believe this is a Federal issue? Do you think you people in Kansas pay for the uninsured in TX?


Ideological backgrounds
.

Or could it be more about power and giving the Federal govt. more money to spend? You think service and quality are improved in MA? Do you think a Federal Bureaucrat is better served to handle state and local issues?

No you dont! and you havent in this thread when someone else called you out.
