From Freedom Works alerts:
Right now, Ted Cruz is fighting on the Senate floor to protect you from ObamaCare.
He is leading a filibuster to make sure Harry Reid doesn’t force hard-working Americans pay for a health care disaster they don’t want or need.
But he needs reinforcements on the Senate floor!
The more Senators that join Ted Cruz, the better chance we have at stopping ObamaCare.
Call your Senators right now and demand they Stand with Cruz. Tell them to Defund, Delay, and Dismantle ObamaCare. This is our best opportunity to stop ObamaCare and we don’t have much time!
At the very least, it’ll really stick in John McCain’s craw — and force Karl Rove to scribble nasty epithets on his stupid stupid white board.
Live CSPAN 2 feed here.
I’d make that call, but my Senator is currently too busy.
Too busy filibustering!
Go Ted go. Please tell me I don’t need to call Cornyn.
One of my senators, Jim Inhofe, sent me an email telling me he’s onboard with Cruz.
Coburn is MIA. So far.
If so leigh, then maybe forward the story (if not the e-mail itself) to the link here, cause Inhofe isn’t listed there yet.
I’ll do my best.
Does Cruz even HAVE a crease in his pant-leg?
Does Cruz even HAVE a crease in his pant-leg?
As if he could get a pant-leg over his hairy cloven-hoofed leg?
Hatch needs nudging with a cattle prod.
Lee?
ROCK STAR.
– Rand Paul takes the handoff and goes over left tackle.
Went off to be busy, just now looked back and see that not only has Sen. Inhofe been added to the whip-list supporting Cruz and Lee, so have Sen. Pat Roberts and Sen. Rand Paul. But no new McConnell allies. Yet.
I’d like to think I nudged him, but that’s most likely not the case.
sen sessions makes a cameo
Sounded like Sessions, who had not been committed before, joined the American people’s side to demand defunding take place.
here be the rubio
Word on the street is that Goldberg, Podhoretz, and Long’s Ricochet podcast is all about hatin’ on Cruz.
Cripes, I hate it when people balk from boat-rocking.
ANY boat-rocking, which is badly needed, what with DC having wrapped everything tight around the axles.
“please don’t rock the sinking boat”
Word on the street is that Goldberg, Podhoretz, and Long’s Ricochet podcast is all about hatin’ on Cruz
But that is to be expected. Anything the reverse would be a shock, frankly. Wouldn’t it?
Word on the street is that Goldberg, Podhoretz, and Long’s Ricochet podcast is all about hatin’ on Cruz. –
That want to insure they keep getting invited to the right parties.
I’m not happy with Krauthammer, either. He and Tucker Carlson were yucking it up about Cruz being born in Canada (implication: he’s not a citizen. Wrong.) and how he could run for Prime Minister.
I’m ready to pull the plug on FNS for FBN until Megyn gets back from maternity leave.

IRS rides 1884 ‘dead horse’ law to defense of tax preparer rules
Will the Americans return to earlier means of dealing with horse thieves where it comes to the IRS?
enzi shows up cheney hardest hit
inhofe says hi
So. Two of the old guard have thrown in with the young bucks. I wonder if any others will see safety in numbers and come in at the eleventh hour?
effin dick durbin says hi
Durbin doesn’t understand what’s going on in the ship he’s a barnacle on.

Dick Durbin is acting like a dick.
in your face durbin
go ted
ted be taking the “ruining class” to task
I’ve been trying to think of a way to get Feinstein on board, Unfortunately I think it would take an AR-15. With a
standardhigh capacity magazine and a story about Cruz un-inventing them.Frankly though, it’s been a long day and the risk/reward calculations just ain’t working out.
I did sign the petition and sent metaphysical moral support though…
#MakeDCListen
” risk/reward calculations just ain’t working out. ”

Karen Tumulty shows her contempt for her fellow Americans:
“Stand on the RIGHT of the Metro escalators. #makedclisten”
“Stand on the RIGHT of the Metro escalators. #makedclisten”
hah dc gov’t
“I’ve been trying to think of a way to get Feinstein on board, ”
You’d have to climb the mountain to reach the coldwater salt-lake and swim out to the island and somehow get her soul out of the needle, out of the egg, out of the duck, out of the hare, out of the chest buried at the foot of the oak tree. Then you’d have to re-install her soul. And all the while she’d be trying to codify who is a real journalist and accusing you of being a pro-theocracy, white supremacist, woman hating, anarchist who works for the NRA and the Koch Brothers.
mike lee sticks it to mitchey m
Sen. Isakson thinks Americans are morons: he will vote with Harry Reid to kill the bill.
“stand by your beliefs” = ted c
That’s it palaeomerus? Geez, I thought it would be harder than that.
Wait, re-install her soul? HA! As if!
You’re a trickster, you are…
“poppycock”- conv. wisdom =cruz
kaine speaks
1/2 of 1/3 of government is a lie and always has been. It’s a Rovean bumper sticker.
Poppycock is probably more collegial than “bullshit”.
“Existential” healthcare? WTF Kaine?
yo kaine “is the fed gov’t” the economy?
kaine “burp”
kaine reads the mind of 300,000,000 peeps
I’m throughly enjoying this. It’s nice to feel as if Fortune is on your side for a few hours.

cruz – language
yo cruz it is “rocking the sinking boat”
good night ted cruz & good luck
well now he’s reading Green Eggs & Ham #outlaw
Green Eggs & Ham is above the reading comprehension level of the average Democrat in Congress so it’s a kindly bedtime story and a teachable moment.
– Status check at 1:30 am DC time, still on Cruz control.
3:34 EST and he’s still going. I need to go to bed, having read all the naysayers.
Guys like Cruz have them pissing their pants — the media can’t edit the message nor the explanation for those who bother to watch even a little bit of this.
We need this.
I hope there’s an unedited recording. One personal policy I have at work is I don’t have sound playing since it can distract me from doing my job, so I can’t really let myself listen to this in the background.
I hope that David Dewhurst is crying right now.
Blow the bugle one more time.
– Coming up on 6 am EST. Expect to hear a lot of snippets on Rush this morning, who happens to be back fron vac today. Good timing.
– Jeff, you can bet theres a lot of recording going on since we can count on the mediots to try to ignore the whole thing as much as possible.
– Hopefully this display will shove a stick up the ass of the squishies and they’ll get behind Cruz.
– In the mean time, Rouhani continues to ignore Bumblefuck. Hes already all but burried from the Putin/Assad disaster. If he comes home totally shunned he will never recover. Thus the desperate hail mary.
– If we can pull out a win on derailing OCare by the end of the month he may be fully into lame duck mode.
He’s still going. I caught the Green Eggs reading last night and LOVED it.
Rubio is giving him a break.
Terry Lynn Land is running (in Michigan) for Levin’s spot – and she supports Cruz.
– In the mean time, Rouhani continues to ignore Bumblefuck. –
He didn’t have TIME to shake Obummer’s hand. How can you read anything into that? I know how. You’re racist.
http://ricochet.com/main-feed/After-Cruz-Has-Said-His-Piece-.-.-.
Can you say optics?
8:20 ET and he’s still at it. Cruz took the Senate floor at 2:41 PM ET yesterday, going on 18 hours.
This Senator has spoken more TRUTH about Barack Obama in those hours than Obama’s sympathetic press has breached in 8 years.
My kids made me turn it off so they could start their homeschooling.
boo hiss
Monica Crowley…bless her heart!
My kids made me turn it off……
– In the country I was raised in it would be required homework for the following school day, but that country has been burried under a sea of Lefturd propaganda and media agitprop and lies for the Utopia.
OH, I’ve explained what is going on. But they are too young to listen to it for too long.
– Cruzing over the target and the fuckheads are squeeling like stuck pigs, one total pig in particular I’d love to have 5 minutes with in a dark alley.
– I’d give him a tingle with a rusty shovel he would never forget.
Rand Paul: “We need a rebellion against oppression.”
Cruz starts talking about the ‘Rebel Alliance’ – someone’s been watching Bill Whittle!
Awww. Poor Chrissy.
“Mike Lee, I am your father.”
Classic Darth Cruz.
Ironic that McCarthy was right. DId anyone tell Chrissy that?
My head is assploding over what they’re saying on Hardball. Did that dude really attack him for being an elitist because he went to an Ivy League school?
John Feehery is a concern troll.
Now Cruz is quoting Ayn Rand on the floor of the US Senate, something that should happen a lot more often.
– Over at HuffNPoop (We brave the horrors of the crystal chamber hive mind so you won’t have too) they are shoveling furiously against the tide, but drowning in their own bullshit anyways. They have as many paid commenters turning out as they can muster, but the numbers show how much the O! enthusiasm has fallen off in the past year.

– Man the mediots are out in full force posting faux rate stories in every venue they can reach to try to pushback. If ever there was a clear example of how far the lamestream media has sold its soul to the Dem/Progs, this Cruz fillibuster is showing it in spades.
– From this point on any reporter that tries to claim objectrivity shoiuld be laughed out of town.
Here ya go BBH. If you had the Twitter, I’d give you a shout-out.
– “Objectrivity” – adjective Meaning: Trivial condition of reporter ethic in modern maunstream media.
Everytime I think of our so called GOP elites (like McConnell, Cornyn, McCain…) I can’t get this song out of my head…
BBH, they have received their marching orders, and are going to faithfully carry out their duty.
Or doody.
Cornyn goes on my “will not vote for” list, even if he survives a primary.
Beck went public this morning with an anti-Cornyn statement.
“I’ve been trying to think of a way to get Feinstein on board, ”

And believe it or not, she is the more rational and less shrill one of the two California harpies.
Ted just beat Durbin like a rented mule.
leigh, that’s not very nice. At least a rented mule has a useful purpose.
ecurmudgeon, yeah, CA has the trifecta of shrill leftwing harpies: Pelosi, Feinstein and Boxer.
Go Ted Go. Cornyn is an embarrassment to Texas.
Whoa! He just basically told Harry Reid to sit down and shut up when he tried to get him to yield 15 minutes for McLame.
McCoot can’t ask his own permission?
I heart Ted.
– McCain will be gone at the end of this term. Hes busy lining up after party favors, the weasle assed bastard.
curmudgeon, yeah, CA has the trifecta of shrill leftwing harpies: Pelosi, Feinstein and Boxer.
Heck, counting the House as well, we also have the following shrill Demicunts:
