Senate leaders right on time

now if the House can muster some sort of hurdle and get over their mental issues we can do this same thing again in 6 weeks

And, crazy cruz is waving the white flag.....his self-aggrandizing little exercise is over, I guess. Narcissistic jack-ass.

Speaking of which....the Houston Chronicle published an editorial today regretting its endorsement of crazy cruz last summer. Interesting.

>>Does anyone else miss Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison?

We're not sure how much difference one person could make in the toxic, chaotic, hyperpartisan atmosphere in Washington, but if we could choose just one it would be Hutchison, whose years of service in the Senate were marked by two things sorely lacking in her successor, Ted Cruz.

For one thing, Hutchison had an unswerving commitment to the highest and best interests of Texas at all times. This revealed itself in a thousand different ways. Hereabouts, we miss her advocacy for NASA, the Port of Houston and the energy industry. And we know she worked just as hard for Dallas, San Antonio and a hundred smaller Texas cities and towns.

Read the endorsement: Cruz for Senate (Oct. 12, 2012)

And dare we say it? We miss her extraordinary understanding of the importance of reaching across the aisle when necessary. Neither sitting Texas senator has displayed that useful skill, and both the state and the Congress are the poorer for it.
One reason we particularly believe that Hutchison would make a difference in these hectic days is that if she had kept her seat, Cruz would not be in the Senate.
When we endorsed Ted Cruz in last November's general election, we did so with many reservations and at least one specific recommendation - that he follow Hutchison's example in his conduct as a senator.

Obviously, he has not done so. Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations where Hutchison would have been part of the solution.
We feel certain she would have worked shoulder to shoulder with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in crafting a workable solution that likely would have avoided the government shutdown altogether.

But we'll never know.

While we're on the topic, we'd like to think our first choice to succeed Hutchison in the Senate, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, would have been more amenable to following Hutchison's example than Cruz has been. But these days, we're not so sure. Dewhurst, long considered a moderate in the Texas GOP, clearly was rattled by his unexpected loss to Cruz for the Senate seat.

Since the defeat, the lieutenant governor has attempted a full-blown political makeover designed to make him the darling of the conservative wing of the Texas party.
Faced with the impossible task of outflanking three strong conservative challengers, the traditional moderate Dewhurst does not seem like a man comfortable in his own skin. It's painful to watch.

You fags better get ready to KISS Cornyn goodbye...

I watched a news clip last night about the House Whip busting Rafael with 20 republican House members in a behind the scene meeting at a Taco joint across the street from The Hill ... 1 Senator making a game plan with 20 House members, and the Whip wasnt invited?

hope Raffie is having fun

here it is

Wonder if he popped for the tortillas?

Raffi is fucking toast. He's done more to bring down the GOP than anybody. His latest shenanigans with the House GOP members will earn him an ass whooping like he never had in Calgary!

Cornyn should be toast... the original Kung Fu Pander, and the biggest special interest WHORE in Texas History. Fortunately for him, Cruz is making him look like a liberal. The GOP will eschew him as well.

Texas will be BLUE before you know it.

GO WENDY!

Clank, clank, clank, clank.........the sound of the can once again being kicked down the road.

As for Cornyn, fuck him, you kiss him....in fact, French-kiss him you bitch....oh, and by the way shitbag, fuck you.

Of course, this was always going to be the outcome. Same as it was last time back in January, and what will be again in few months. Never solve any of the problems, just increase the problems and keep delaying any resolutions.

And we keep putting them back in there, all of them.

yeah, yeah... Please keep merging the rock threads. Thanks.

The big thing in Houston, and I suppose just about everywhere else, are these "pay day loan" and " title loan" places opening up everywhere, sometimes there will be three or four in the same block, competing for that high risk money.

Maybe " Uncle Sam" needs to visit those.

Boehner says he won't block new Senate deal. TLTL, IMHO.
