    Did he actually read to the end of the book? Did he actually read the punchline of the whole book? If so, double LOL.

    So ****ing embarrassing watching adults who run our country act like ****ing children. Our entire government is comparable to the Keystone Cops. Cruz is just another idiot in the long list of idiots who've had power in Texas. It's getting old.

    We are making the term banana republic offensive to the original banana republics.

    Very proud of Ted Cruz after this historic event. He has exposed Obamacare for what it is -- a pitiful attempt from Barack to try to claim an achievement, even if the healthcare plan is extremely poorly cobbled together. It was passed by a straight party line vote from the democrats without even the chance to review what was written inside it. Thank you, Senator Cruz for standing up to this. It's a terrible bill for Americans.

    I'm thinking he doesn't get the moral of the story

    powerful data.

    The answer to your question is Obama's got to convince himself that he actually got something done before he leaves office. Shameful to put his pride before the best interests of this great nation.

    It was reviewed repeatedly over the course of 14 months. The only people who didn't know what was in it were people who weren't paying attention, people like you.

    Why you no b**** about will of the American people when universal background checks were supported by majority of the "will of the American people"?

    You have to stay positive. This is win win for the faithful right.... if it goes down in flames, you win, and if it doesn't, you have something with his name on it to complain about permanently.

    It's embarrassing to watch someone who disagrees with you speak his mind and fight for what he believes is right?

    Did Mr. Cruz spend his hours critiquing the ACA, explaining his problems with it and proposing a republican alternative to expand healthcare to the poor and uninsured?

    Why do Republicans continue to believe that they represent the will of the American people after consistently getting whipped in national elections?

    absolutely.

    That's what he focused on. The Dr Seuss bit gets the headlines, but I watched hours of his speech and it was squarely focused on the things you mentioned. Extremely on point.

    Yes, the Nazi comparisons were right on point.
