Senator Cornyn:
I have voted Republican since my own Age of Awareness, decades ago. I have voted for you every time your name has appeared on my ballot. I have been very happy with your efforts on our behalf.
Until this week, that is. You chose to not support Ted Cruz in his recent effort. I heard all your reasons for doing so, but to me and many others, it sounded a lot like "going along to get along".
I voted for Cruz, and I contributed to his campaign. We sent Ted to DC to do exactly what he is doing - stand up to the Democrats and give them no quarter. He is doing exactly that, and millions of Texans are cheering for him.
The Democrats have used every dirty trick in the book, and many flatly illegal moves, to advance their agenda. It's time we quit playing nice. It's time YOU got as angry as we are, and go toe-to-toe with the Democrats in the only language they understand. It's not business as usual.
Senator, you need to reflect the anger your constituents feel, or you will lose them come next election. At this point in time, you have lost my vote.

Get mad, and join the fight!
You need to learn to express your feelings and to not hold back. Tell them how you really feel.

Keep printing more money to further devalue the dollar?

This has to stop.

Deficit spending.

It is not sustainable.

Has that ever been done before?
What happens when the Senate say no?
And when the Democrats decide to uniltarally defund the military how will you object?
The senate cannot decide to defund. All spending originates in the House. If the senate removes funding provisions the measure returns to the house for approval.

Hint: It is in the constitution.

You're correct.
1. The Senate doesn't have to pass the House's spending measure,which is how it will be in this case.
2. In the future when the House is retaken by the Democrats, whats to stop them from doing the same?
Democrats are known for skirting the constitution but I will comment.

If the democrats do so and it is constitutional then fine.

The chances of democrats abiding by the constitution are slim and none.

Very doable. You wouldn't like what else gets cut though.
It does not matter if you left Medicare alone.

In the not so distant future if the debt ceiling is increased time and time again there will not be enough revenue generated to even pay the interest on the debt. Your claim to balance the budget and leave Medicare alone is an empty claim not based on facts.

Chas.
Agreed on the Cornyn part for those exact reasons. I fear the Cruz may have screwed the pooch a little with the other Republicans in the Senate (I guess Democrats as well) as he's not a senior member and made some waves.

I'm interested in your reasoning on why you think Davis (why does my head say Brown when I type that - yikes) won't take a statewide race?
If this isn't appropriate for the thread we can take private.
Wendy Davis is as anti-2A as they come.

Answer the question. What would you do with all the senior citizens currently on Medicare?
I am only responsible for me and mine. Those totally dependent on the government must deal with it.

What are you going to do? Print more fake money and give it to them?

Social Security was not intended to be the total solution for retirement. Medicare is the same way. All of the big government programs have been ballooned to include all of the lazy leeches who do not want to work.

The government IS going to fail.

The country is not just at risk, as you put it, but on the road to massive failure from the debt load. Wake up! Even without barrycare the debt from all of the so called entitlement programs are not funded. We borrow money from China and give it away. Then we borrowe money from Chine to pay the debt. The fed reserve just keeps printing billions every month diluting the dollar. Runaway inflation is on the horizon.

Keep burying your head in the sand.

Shutting down the government would be the best thing to happen in history. I am all for it. It is timew for the leviathan to cease to exist.
