What was the whole point of him fake filibustering, when he voted for it anyway? :wtf:

Texas has to be one of the most dumbest states for electing idiots like Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, and George Bush II. :snoop:

He is making himself look great for his diehard supporters, but he's ruining any chance he has to be President. Though, he probably doesn't expect become President anyway.

:heh: ruining?? Cruz never had a chance of being president. This filibuster did nothing but endear him to his idiotic base.

It wasn't even really a fillibuster. The guy was out there fronting. Even McCain was stuntin on him. This is basically what we wasted our time on:

Ted Cruz is an assclown and it is the GOP's best interests to marginalize him to the point that he is considered a Palin like buffoon as quickly as possible.
The fact that he did all this bullshyt just to turn around and vote for cloture is ridiculous. He has no shot at the Republican nomination and the only person who doesn't know it is Cruz.

While the move was idiotic and pointless i will give ONE piece of credit...
He actually filibustered (even though it wasn't).

I hate the new "just call fili" filibuster move. I think they should HAVE TO actually talk. It's so important for the people to see shyt like that so they know something is being held up, be they for it or against it.

he had to though its the only way this faux filibuster could have been done

he does get credit for making it to 21 hours though,


no breh, im saying did he vote to end this charade himself?

The vote was 100-0, not 99-0 or 99-1

yes because it would have moved on without the vote anyway


School me brehs....this dude didnt really talk for 20+ hours straight? Were there breaks? Could other members get up and leave? They had to sit through that bytch?

other Senator asked long assed questions as a way of giving him breaks, he then walked around to stretch his legs and maybe use the bathroom(he could have worn a catheter too)

they're trying to end it before it officially begins cause once it does aint no one giving it up, Republicans included
Big corporations too. They're gonna be dumping people off COBRA onto Obamacare, which will save them billions. Likewise it's gonna save unemployed sick people money, as they won't have to deal with them high COBRA prices.

This shyt isn't perfect but a lot of low and middle income people are gonna be happy.
