all the polls show the majority of Americans are against Obamacare...........the question is why isn't anybody in the Democrat party trying to stop it or even question it in public instead of being like sheeps and going along with the party and attacking anybody opposing it?

Ted Cruz is doing what the voters from his state sent him to the senate, to represent them and they dont want obamacare........why is Ted the villain here?

You are correct.

Cruz is not the villain here.
Dems are opposed to what the majority in our Nation want.

He is the one at the forefront fighting for that.

Do I support all Cruz stands for? No and I do think he lacks experience, but I sure give him credit for standing up for what he believes in..
I don't agree with everything he says either, do we ever all agree, no, but I sure do feel the same way you do.....

That's the plan that they use.


Demonization.

If Democrates would be in opposition, and they had a representative stand up there and do what Ted Cruz, you guys would be extactic that a representative on your behalf did all that he could do, FOR HIS PEOPLE who are against a bill.

I am proud of Ted Cruz, for doing what he did, with only two other Republicans representing him and standing by his side.

I am so fed up with the republican party, they should have been standing right there with him....
they are useless, cowards, who no longer care about the people, all they care about is how they look, when this all ends.

Ted Cruz is either nuts, nor narcissistic...he is the only man, besides Rand Paul and Lee who were actually not only listening to his people, but working very hard for them, and those are the kind of people I want representing me in Washington, who have the balls to do what they do.

regardless, what you may think of Republicans, or Obama Care, He did something that is hardly seen any longer in Washington....

Washington doesn't give a rats arse about the people any longer, the very people who elect them to work for the people. They have forgotten they derive a pay check from us, and they rub elbows with only the rich and the corporations.

When you people stop hating each other and realize that, maybe, just maybe, things will straighten out.

If Ted Cruz were a democrate and fought for Democrates that way, you'd be cheering his moxy.

Do I agree with everything he believes in, NO, it's not a perfect world, but I do agree with a whole lot of what he says.

This country has grown not only weak, but the people running this country for years now, do not know what they are doing...no one oversees the money they allocate to our social systems. Years ago, you had to be held accountable for that money. Everyone is skimming off the top...companies shouldn't need bail outs, and counties and states should not be going broke.

I don't care if your a democrate or a republican, when you guys stop fighting amongst yourselves, and start to realize, our government is run by two corrupt parties....things will change.

We need hard core laws, set up for everyone, instead of people changing the laws to suit their own adgendas.

Ted Cruz is an old fashioned conservative, who was raised to believe like I was and most people my age, 65 and up. We were governed by morals....by strict laws, which we respected, and if you didn't respect the laws you went to a cold dark place. Criminals should not have any rights, and what Washington is doing to America right now is criminal. I'm glad, there are still people like Ted Cruz and his two buddies who believe in upholding the law and going to bat for the people he represents....no other Republican stood up with him, like they should of, months ago....they leaned toward the other side...and that is inexcuseable. They should all be fired....how dare any politician go to sleep at night, thinking and believing that Obama Care is ok for us, but not for them??????????? No one should be exempt from it, no one, but they're big heads know it's not that good of an insurance, so, they don't want it...I mean, is that so hard to understand?




And these greatly blew their chances for re-election.

Saddest part is that it so blatantly obvious yet his worshippers fall at his feet.
This "Change" is killing "Hope".

What the He!! is in the water!?!
You got that right? some are better liars then others, and by comparison, his lies are endless.

I know your right, the pure garbage propaganda, that this Presidents trys to sell, and the ignorant ones who buy what he is selling, are making us all pay the damn price.............
He never brought Change, and i know so many people who no longer believe in HOPE. After they have lost jobs and their prized possessions, their homes.

No one Man, is worth people falling down at his feet. What the hell has he done for the middle class, the black unemployment has not improved. And we still have way too many Welfare Kings and Queens.

So that's your only yardstick? Seems like you should have something more.
Cruz and his republicon peers, with their own government-funded healthcare, think Obamacare and all forms of "socialized medicine" are just awful - for everybody but themselves. They have the best healthcare taxpayers can buy.
Seriously, how dumb and/or fraudulent are your conservative heroes?
