I'll give Cruz one thing, he just might prove that he can actually polish a turd, given enough worn out and coke tainted currency. |
Senator Tim Kaine was on the local radio this morning explaining why this tactic that Cruz is employing makes absolutely no sense. It will accomplish absolutely nothing but to waste everybody's time. Filibustering the general budget or impeding debt ceiling talks will not stop PPACA. It can't. Obamacare is funded through appropriations. In fact, as someone noted here, the bill he is filibustering is the one submitted by his fellow TP Republicans---a bill he supported until he decided to filibuster it.
All Cruz is doing is making an ass of himself. The guy is such a fool, he has no idea how the system works....and is determined to act accordingly.
