WASHINGTON — Following the epic, 21-hour speech by Sen. Ted
Cruz, R-Texas, supporting the defunding of Obamacare, either voters made so
many calls to establishment Republicans that their phone lines melted, or those
GOP leaders took their phones off the hook.
Even in this age of digital wizardry and limitless
voicemail, callers could not get through at all to Sen. Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky. A message said the
senator was experiencing a high volume of calls and directed members of the
public to call back later or visit his website.
It was the same story with the man who was the face of the
GOP in the 2008 elections, former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz. His phone was off the hook,
too. Callers got a message stating his voicemail box was full. The Arizona senator apparently had other
matters on his mind during the Cruz speech, tweeting, “Final episode of
#Broadchurch tonight – one of the most entertaining shows on TV right now.”
Editor's notes: We should not forget Rand Paul's filibuster and Obama's retreat from his position defending American assassination by drone. McCain ran around D.C. bloviating on the subject and announcing his opposition to Obama's policy while Paul actually got Obama to back off his position and move in another direction. And now, Ted Cruz orchestrates a dynamic rebuttal to the positions of Socialist Progressives and the RINO Herd. Understand that only 11 Republican Senators out of 45 will vote for moving Harry Reid's version of the ObamaCare funding bill, through the Senate and back to the House. If they all stood in solidarity, like they pretended to do back in 2010 when their votes did not count, we stop this bill in its tracks. Time to send these people packing.
