    Let's discuss the greatest hits of the greatest money blurter of all time.

    Is this a fair way to characterize those who support the Affordable Care Act?

    Its too mild a characterization. The ACA is the most tyrannical piece of legislation in human history.

    Why do you libs have to grossly exaggerate everything to smear whatever you disagree with?

    Scientists will one day discover that there is life elsewhere in the cosmos. When that day comes... when going where no man has gone before becomes routine... we will learn the truth: that nowhere in the galaxy has such tyranny been forced upon people of any specie.

    That species of wasps that lays its eggs in the body of other insects, eggs which hatch and paralyze the host so that the larvae can eat said host alive, from the inside out? Obamacare makes that look like a footrub.

    Interesting how Republicans have co-opted Churchill. In 1940, they were castigating Roosevelt for being too cozy with England.

    Also, let's remember per our libertarian members, both parties are the same. Leading Democrats say stuff like that all the time.

    You guys realize that this has nothing to do with the ACA, right? This is a total power play by the "Wacko Birds" to take over the GOP

    Because of course the 1940 version of the Democratic party was exactly the same as it is now. Remind me of which party had the Dixiecrats again?

    I thought Rick Perry had set the "dumb Texan" bar pretty low, but Cruz is dancing right under it this month. I suspect he'll out-do himself again.

    I've never heard Ted say anything smart, but I assume that as a Harvard Law grad he's just playing dumb. Rick got there all by his genuine.

    I think Ted has to think what to say to appeal to dumb people while Rick did it naturally.

    In other words, Rick has more natural talent.

    This is hilarious. I've watched the first 20 minutes of this, and it seems that he HATES the rules of Congress. For someone who hates Congress so much in apparently every aspect, I'm surprised he ran for the office. He has spent tons of time talking about things that the House, under Republican leadership, has been doing ad nauseum since the moment they took office in January of 2011.

    There has always been a rivalry between the two houses. Why is this shocking in any way?

    Heavy drinking from 2000 to 2008 will do that to someone.

    Credit to (most of) the GOPers in the Senate. They seem to be getting fed up with Cruz' shenanigans...not his ideology, but his "act"...and they're trying to isolate him. In particular, Bob Corker explicitly said that Cruz and Mike Lee were the only ones wanting to hold up a vote.
