The filibuster worked for Davis because of Women's Health Care being taken away in Texas after it had been given. Carney barker Cruz did not realize that he was doing just the opposite. Can you imagine a president with such little sense making decisions for America? Scary Republicans!

They claimed a majority of Americans in their polls had a negative opinion of "Obamacare" and couldn't understand why they weren't being hailed as heroes for trying to stop it.

And people claim Vaudeville is dead.

At least we had "538" to keep things honest; With these polls on Obama's health care plan, we just have to accept what they tell us.
I would guess the polls are skewed.
...anyway, that's my rambling.

praising Cruz for dismantling Obamacare and he is now their "front runner" for president in 2016. Meanwhile, the traditional GOPers, if I should call them that, are piping hot with, get this . . . anger, so figure. When has not this GOP party been filed with anything but anger huh?

Anywho, railing against Cruz and calling them a "secret" farthest left winger is absurd and for now this party, which is a good thing for America is falling apart and here's hoping the sane ones will take their party back but I can't see that happening any time soon.

As I told my own kids 30 years ago, and those in school, the MORAL of that story is to TRY something first before you say don't like it.

Very bad example to use, Teddie.

Barack I am
The Prez, in fact

…That Barack I am the Prez, in fact,
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

Do you like the healthcare act?

…I do not like the healthcare act!
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

Would you like it Later? Or Now?

…I would not like it later or now,
…I would not like it anyhow!
…I do not like the healthcare act!
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

Would you like some hope and change?
Would you like a health exchange?

…I would not like some hope and change.
…I would not like a health exchange.

Would you like to help resist
Expensive ills that pre-exist?

…Screw pre-exist and health exchange
…And screw you Prez, your name is strange.
…I would not like it later or now,
…I would not like it anyhow!
…I do not like the healthcare act!
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

Your kids! Your kids! How ‘bout for kicks
We cover them ‘til they’re twenty-six?

…I really do not give two licks
…About kids under twenty-six.
…And if they get Kerfuffle Flu
…Let them pay up like I do!

Preventive care will be for free
You will like that, you will see!

…No communist preventive care
…Or any free kids anywhere.
…Screw pre-exist and health exchange
…And screw you Prez, your name is strange.
…I would not like it later or now,
…I would not like it anyhow!
…I do not like the healthcare act!
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

On this can we all agree:
personal responsibility?

…All this responsibility
…Is fine for others, not for me.

Think of all the money lost!
Wouldn’t you want lower cost?

…Responsibility and low cost
…Are socialist! Prez, you get lost!
…No communist preventive care
…Or any free kids anywhere.
…Screw pre-exist and health exchange
…And screw you Prez, your name is strange.
…I would not like it later or now,
…I would not like it anyhow!
…I do not like the healthcare act!
…I do not like the Prez, in fact!

You don’t have to yawp or yelp
The Prez is only trying to help.
Try it, try it, just to see
How good the healthcare act can be!

…I’ll never try the healthcare act
…Cause if folks try it, it’s a fact
…That they will like low costs you see
…And folks’ responsibility
…And the free preventive care
…Will help the people everywhere
…And children under twenty-six
…And illnesses that pre-exist
…Are covered and the biggest change
…The cost-effective health exchange
…They will like it now, and then
…Will never vote for me again.

…SO
…I DO NOT LIKE THE HEALTHCARE ACT
…Because YOU are the Prez, in fact.

it must literally blow Cruz's mind at how freaking easy it is to get these baggers to screw themselves in order to line the pockets of the billionaires who purchased him.

Just stop and think for a moment at the depth of stupidity it takes to support a guy like Cruz

We're talking world class Olympic caliber stupidity, it's flat out amazing that the knuckledraggers who support blowhards like Cruz actually manage to walk upright.
