gaijin fondly remembers filibustering Civil Rights...
I think Strom Thurmon holds the time record, something like 30 hours, set back in 1955, or something —his filibuster was truly amazing, though a couple of our guys also have put in good performances.MestaMachine knows this political theater is Holy:
Need good shoes, and I think some kind of stealthy leg-brace inside the pants would be good —not sure if it’s allowed, though.
May G-d’s angels hold him up and refresh him when he tires. G-d bless this man of ours!tumblindice sums up Freepers' current opinions:
Cruz is right. Everyone else is wrong.Homer_J_Simpson knows Obama couldn't do this!
He’s a `majority of one’: Go Ted!
Look, no teleprompter.RKBA Democrat explains any dissent have sold out the Founding Fathers:
Anyone who believed it got played like a fiddle.austinaero is not a fan those who point out Cruz is accomplishing nothing:
Sam Adams had this to say to you:
If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Let me start off by saying YOU are a DICK!"He's getting tired, which makes him awesome!"
Now, let’s go down your BS list of crap, shall we? I will summarize what will happen for everyone:
1. Cruz will pretend he is James Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”. I don’t hear anyone pretending anything....if you can PROVE your crap, share it with a statement of fact.
2. He will talk for a few hours, and thken look exhausted and pained before the cameras. **** Taling for a few hours does tend to leave even superhumans like Ted exhausted...Perhaps you think you are so much better but again,,there’s no proof of that! So you want to disparage Ted ahead of time for being tired when he’s done? That’s just like Democrat. Maybe that’s really what you are.
3. He will then exit the Senate floor, go to the bathroom, and then seek out anyone with a microphone to claim what a hero he was. ***IN other words, you’re still a DICK!
4. The next day, he will be on Sean Hannity’s radio show; Sean will make love to him on the air, and Cruz will return the favor......You, sinking to new disgusting lows.
5. Reid strips out the ObamaCare provision (as predicted days and days ago), and the CR moves back to the House.......not because YOU did anything to try to stop it,,except stab a conservative in the back.....
As Michael Medved pointed out 2 weeks ago, this was all for show. Anyone who told you they could “De-Fund” ObamaCare when the GOP does not control the Senate or the White House was lying to you.
Anyone who believed it got played like a fiddle. ****Then count me as a fiddle,,because I love to echo the tune Ted is taking right now. At least he is trying something, which is more than I can say for YOU DICK!
St_Thomas_Aquinas lives in some completely other world:
Ted Cruz is MY president!KittenClaws mixes up "freepers" with "everyone."
I think Ted Cruz IS everyone’s Senator. He not only speaks for his State, which is generally conservative, but for The People.SADMILLIE - even if Ted Cruz loses, it'll be awesome martyrdom!
Presidential Material.
I am reminded of the Alamo— We may lose but we will see them at San Jacinto and they will not like it. Many there in camp will be RINOs and Rove bots but they will see us at the end of their political lives. We are TEA PARTY. They will persecute us but we live in the millions and we are coming.The whole thing turns into a hate-fest against all RINOs.MagUSNRET explains how non-Cruz Republicans are all secretly gay pedophiles:
It’s getting late into the evening..WHERE THE HELL ARE THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS SENATORS????
Im bguerssing, Drinking with BOner (the alcoholic Speaker)...or playing with their boy toys! (and NO, I am NOT kidding!) Only little gay boys blackmail can explain this crap!
Some freepers are coming around that the site is going to the dogs:
ReplyDeleteI think that’s why she’s telling her tale now. My goodness, the people on this website, that I have been coming to for almost 15 years, are now almost unrecognizable to me.

Some good and bad about Ted Cruz :
ReplyDeleteThe good ... at least he appears to be sincere in his beliefs and, so far, not corrupted by outside influences.
The bad ... he's reckless in speech, and now actions. He may be burning bright right now, but if he's not careful he's going to burn himself out soon.
The good ... at least he appears to be sincere in his beliefs and, so far, not corrupted by outside influences.
ReplyDeleteWell, he got nearly $1M from the oil and gas industry, and about $500K from the financial services industry. But I guess you can't really call those "outside influences" when you're talking about the GOP, right? Basically, the calls are coming from inside the house.
He may be burning bright right now, but if he's not careful he's going to burn himself out soon.
Yeah, I too worry that The American People will grow tired of his condescending horseshit, his oily demeanor and his reptilian smirk. Maybe he should cut his public appearances down to one per millennium so we don't get too much of a good thing.
"Well, he got nearly $1M from the oil and gas industry, and about $500K from the financial services industry. "
DeleteOooooooh! How fucking edgy and clever you think you are!
However:
"While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals."

See, this is actually a perfect illustration of why you're a moron. I have no trouble criticizing Obama for being too soft on and cosy with the oil and gas and financial services industries. If I were in charge, I'd give top execs at, say, BP and AIG something to cry about for real. Obama doesn't suck as bad as the GOP on that score, but that's faint praise indeed. And of course, he's done plenty of other stuff that disappoints me, virtually all of which gives the lie to the FReeper argument that he's some kinda anti-business socialist firebrand.
DeleteYou don't get that, natch, because being a witless partisan hack yourself, you can't conceive of anyone else approaching politics from any other position than that of witless partisan hackery. Fact is, like most people on the left, I have huge problems with a number of Obama's policies, and unlike yours, they're actually substantive and have nothing to do with masturbatory fantasies about his hot gay sex life.
To put it another way, you can blow me until I squirt blood.

ReplyDeleteI did go to grad school for physics, and I do love me some Star Trek...
DeleteBut I haven't lived at home since 1998...
Haha, MS in thermodynamic cosmology, my man.
Delete'course, the MS is 'cause I dropped out of the PhD program.
