The Republican Party "Leaders" will give in to the President, Democrats and most of all the tainted reporting from the Media unless we stand firm against their out-and-out lies. The Press have consistently been blaming Republicans for the 'Shutdown' while ignoring the reasons for it. Primarily, the reason to partly shutdown the government was to stop and expose the fraud of Obamacare. This has been proven a fraud as it has rolled out and shown to be unworkable, inefficient, overly expensive, unsustainable, intrusive and incapable of preserving privacy.
Ted Cruz has held steady, whether in the cause of preserving individual rights, political expediency, or both, to prevent the further destruction of the rights of the people above the government. Rino Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. (who else) and others have been trying to put the "train wreck" of Obamacare back on track to please the press in their own interest under the guise of "bipartisanship." Bipartisanship means the Republicans give the Democrats and the Press what they want, more Statism. The "Shutdown" has exposed the worthlessness of Obamacare, the mendacity of Obama, Sebelius, Reid and Carney, as well as the reality that nearly 20% of the Federal Government is hardly necessary or "non-essential" to sustain the Nation outside of Washington D.C.'s own self aggrandizement. m/r
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz rallied conservatives to keep up the fight to unravel ObamaCare, ahead of a White House meeting where his colleagues were expected to dial back their demands for changes to the health law as part of a possible deal to end the partial government shutdown.
Cruz and his Tea Party-aligned colleagues spoke at the annual Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Friday morning.
The Texas senator, who along with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, helped drive the showdown with the White House over ObamaCare, joked that he'd be heading next to the meeting with his colleagues at the White House, and "if I'm never seen again, please send a search-and-rescue team."
But Cruz also delivered a stern message to conservatives, amid signs that the upcoming meeting could lead Senate GOP leaders to dial back their demands on ObamaCare.
"We're nearing the edge of a cliff," Cruz said, focusing his remarks almost exclusively on the health law. "What does it take to win this fight? It takes the men and women in this room."
Cruz also urged the House of Representatives to keep "standing strong."
