This has been explained frequently on Fox News and talk radio. I'm sure that they never said a word about it on MSNBC. It is complicated so CJ had better get his mother to explain it to him.
The Houses passed a bill that funds all of government except for Obamacare. All spending bills originate in the House. So any bill that comes out of the House is the default or norm. This is not a budget bill.
Now the House sent the bill to the Senate where the Evil Fockair Harry Reid publicly said that he would open up the house bill and put one single amendment (his) into it. This single amendment would refund Obamacare and then Reid would use a procedural rural to prevent any other amendments by anyone else. Reid has made this a practice in his time as Senate Leader.
Before the bill falls into the hands of Reid it has to be voted into consideration. This is where Cruz steps up. He filibustered (no matter what the Evil Fockair Harry Reid says) the bill from being accepted into consideration, thus keeping it intact (with the defunding of Obamacare). As expected the filibuster failed to stop the bill from being ruled into consideration and the scapel of Harry Reid. The bill was brought up for consideration and Cruz voted for it along with many of the GOP senators. They can't stop it so they want to move it along.
Harry Reid got the bill and has now inserted his pigs heart of an amendment or that is what is about to happen. The time factor is important because the bill could be brought up for a vote anytime now and people like CJ don't own watches or understand time.
Now do you understand CJ? The GOP wants to pass the house bill but that is not going to happen with a corrupt person like Harry Reid running the senate. Cruz raised the profile of the bill and Obamacare which was the intent. Defeating it at this time was a forlorn hope. So now the bill will be disembowled by Reid and then the Frankenbill will be brought back out on the floor for a vote. Cruz will vote against it then unless the House has some plan and needs it back quickly. A filibuster won't work because Reid will use a procedural rule that only needs 51 votes to pass the Frankenbill.
Now is all that clear.....probably not for CJ. Someone explain it to him. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

BTW, in case you geniuses haven't noticed, Ted Cruz is on Ted Cruz's side and that side alone. I hope he raises a boatload of cash over this little stunt so he can fool himself into thinking that he's got a shot at being elected President. The sooner this Canadian rat-bastard's political career is disposed of the better. Originally Posted by Randy4Candy

Your logic is twisted; I didn't vote for Republican Presidential Candidates in 2000, 2004 and 2008 and I grudgingly voted for Romney in 2012 - as a stand against Obama and I am a Republican ?Ok- have you ever voted for a democrat? If you are Libertarian like you want us to believe than why are their not more Pro- Ron or Rand Paul or Gary Johnson threads from you? Yes you are a RINO because you support all of their agendas even though many libertarians don't see eye to eye with the GOP platform on many issues.
Your either nuts or stupid....you pick which one.
Do you even know what RINO stands for ?
Can you not grasp the concept that I thought Romney was the better of 2 terrible choices ? Originally Posted by Whirlaway
