Can a Teawipe Tell Me How Ted Cruz Voted?

[JD Barleycorn]

Talk about some stupidity. I explained why HARRY REID said it was not a filibuster. You know the liar of the senate who is such a small person that he won't even give the proper credit by admitting that a filibuster occurred under his nose. I guess WTF, Candy, and CJ are of the same small minds as Reid.

[Randy4Candy]

Ask a Teawipe a simple, straightforward question and you get 20 posts of crawfishing bullshit.

The answer is that he voted against what he spoke in favor of for 21+ hours.

How hard is that? Hell, it's the truth and a matter of public record but such silly little things like facts never get in the way of a Teawipe.

BTW, jewrish pissant, the HP cops told me that they are getting bored with you and that you are in danger of losing your parking (sleeping) privileges because of your mechanical, uninteresting and sub-par delivery of the sexual favors necessary for you to have a place to park your bed on wheels.

[JD Barleycorn]

Candy (ass) the question might be simple but the answer is not and it was over your head. Get your mommy to explain it to you. She was probably against concieving you but had the sex anyway. Care to explain that decision?

Lie. I posted how Cruz voted..................


FACT JACK !

Cruze voted "aye" in allowing the Senate to proceed to a vote on the House Bill that cuts funding for Obamacare, but fully funds all government

Why would Cruz vote otherwise.

[Yssup Rider]

That's three times. You're beginning to believe it yourself. How does "I intent to speak until I can no longer stand" equal "OK, let's tell Cruz to STFU and move on the the people's business."

A filibuster refers to any dilatory or obstructive tactics used to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote ..


no matter how long Cruz yammered about green eggs and ham he could not stop the Senate vote ... no filibuster. Reid was right and you, JD are an idiot.


not only did Cruz fail to block the vote, he voted , and voted AYE to move the measure back to the House so he could vote on it again.

Another "filibuster" that wasn't a filibuster that was a filibuster.........from anti-war Democrat Mike Gravel..........

Gravel convened a special committee hearing so that he could read into the record the freshly leaked, but not yet published, Pentagon Papers. Acting under the immunity provided by the Constitution’s speech and debate clause, Gravel could get away with putting the secret documents in the Congressional Record. (The Supreme Court later cleared the way for the NY Times and others to publish the papers, lifting the Nixon’s Administration’s injunction against publication). A filibuster stunt designed to circumvent national security secrets.....

On the night of June 29, 1971, Gravel attempted to read the papers on the floor of the Senate as part of his filibuster against the draft, but was thwarted when no quorum could be formed. Gravel instead convened a session of the Buildings and Grounds subcommittee that he chaired.He got New York Congressman John Dow to testify that the war had soaked up funding for public buildings, thus making discussion of the war relevant to the committee. He began reading from the papers with the press in attendance,omitting supporting documents that he felt might compromise national security,and declaring, “It is my constitutional obligation to protect the security of the people by fostering the free flow of information absolutely essential to their democratic decision-making.”

He read until 1 a.m., until with tears and sobs he said that he could no longer physically continue, the previous three nights of sleeplessness and fear about the future having taken their toll. Gravel ended the session by, with no other senators present, establishing unanimous consentto insert 4,100 pages of the Papers into the Congressional Record of his subcommittee. . .

filibusters are usually carried out by more than one person


works out better that way when the party concerned is trying to block a vote ... 10 senators yammer 20 hours = 200 hours

1 senator yammers 20 hours for nothing, he or she is an idiot

what are you a political idiot ... ?

oh wait ...

Source please..........

I have given you 3 examples of filibusters by an individual; where is your source for your statement saying otherwise.

The longest filibuster came in spring of 1964 when the U.S. Senate was weighing Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights Bill. The bill had been introduced by President Kennedy a year earlier but not taken up for debate until after his death. Debate began in March of 1964. Before it was over, Southern senators had filibustered for 534 hours, 1 minute, and 51 seconds. When the Senate finally mustered enough votes to end the filibuster, an aging California senator was wheeled onto the floor and voted by winking his eye. With the filibuster ended, the Senate approved the bill on June 20 and it was signed into law on July 2, 1964

Despite what you see on C-SPAN2, or what you read on Twitter, Ted Cruz is not filibustering Obamacare. The Republican senator from Texas is speaking on the Senate floor for what is expected to be a very long time—asked by reporters when he'd stop, he replied, "We shall see"—but it's not a filibuster in the sense of actually stopping the upper chamber's proceedings.

Instead, Cruz's stand is purely symbolic.
In a real talking filibuster, as famously portrayed in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a senator occupies the Senate floor indefinitely so as to block the chamber from taking up any other business. In Cruz's case, Senate rules limit his time, and he'll have to cede the floor by Wednesday morning at the latest. That's a long time, but the Senate will have to wait whether Cruz speaks or not. As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday morning, "I want to make sure everyone understands: There is no filibuster today."
Democrats already have the 60 votes needed to initiate cloture and break an actual Republican filibuster, so the rest of the timing is essentially on "autopilot," as Reid said, because on Monday he initiated the complicated series of procedural moves to cut off debate..

no filibuster, whirlie my man, you and JD are idiots

The End

[Whirlaway]

you make a statement that filibusters usually involve more than 1 senator; I ask you for proof or a link and you post the chronology of cloture votes...what kind of un educated person are you ?

The kind that gets by on quotas and special ed treatment ?

By definition a filibuster is a single senator running out the clock, not a group of senators as you falsely claim.
