You read that right. Harry Reid made it crystal clear this morning: Ted Cruz and the Rest of the Tea Party will not be able to mount a talking filibuster on the spending bill that the U.S. Senate is considering this week.

Ted Cruz, who will never be President of the USA and some other Tea Partiers may be disappointed, but that the way that it's going to be.
"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.
Cruze IS an extremist. No doubt about it. Besides being inexperienced with no long term strategy or solution. He didn't go to the Senate to govern, it seems. He went to destroy that which he was elected to protect: the government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Most people do not want to defund the ACA. Most people want the politicians to compromise. Favorability of Congress is at an all time low of about 6% I heard recently. And yet, there he is, spouting off about things he knows little about, to get a few soundbites from townhalls and ensure he ends up on TV. That's what Cruz cares about. Himself. He's so inexperienced. But it looks like the Republican Party is finally stepping up to the plate to try to control the damage to the country that these extremists are causing and may cause.
.I love your centrist posting, it proves my point precisely. Keep up the good work. Smack Cruz, smack the Tea Party and praise Reid all in the same post

LOL....that is exactly why the Republican party is becoming less and less relevant every day. When you "Conservatives" push the party further and further to wacko right-wing fringe, moderates/centrists and reasonable Republicans are finding themselves estranged from their party. ...and I'm loving every minute of it.
You know it may be that should the funding go through, Republicans will be loving every minute of Obamacare, especially with headlines like these:

LOL.....Repubs are shaking in their boots that America is going to see that the Repubs tried to dupe them....they are desperately trying to prevent the ACA from taking effect because when it does and Americans (who by and large support the specifics of the ACA) will benefit and the Republican party will move closer and closer to extinction.
Why don't you stop pushing that myth about the Republican Party. It was a lot smaller in the 60's than now, but I know you've never opened a history book.
Well, I guess while the Libs ignore the headlines like the one I posted, any fantasy will do.
I don't know, but it seems to me, there will be some 'splaining to do Rickey.
These diminished medical networks are fueling growing concerns that many patients will still struggle to get care despite the nation's biggest healthcare expansion in half a century.
Consumers could see long wait times, a scarcity of specialists and loss of a longtime doctor.
Apparently you've been reading the wrong polls.
RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Public Approval of Health Care Law
OnMore broadly Cruz, Lee and company would presumably point to polls showing that Obamacare remains broadly unpopular. But that reflects, charitably, a superficial knowledge of the polling. Take the Pew Research Center/USA Today poll released earlier this week. Fully 53 percent disapprove of the Affordable Care Act as opposed to only 42 percent who approve. (The Real Clear Politics average of polls has 38 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving.) But dig deeper and you'll find that that 53 percent is split over how to deal with the law they don't like – more than half of them, 27 percent, want pols to try to make the law work; a lesser number, 23 percent, want to see elected officials try to make it fail. In other words something like one-quarter of the actual American people stand with Cruz, Lee and the rest of the fanatics. Some mandate.
This is not an unusual result. Even a laughably skewed poll which Heritage Action – the activist branch of the Heritage Foundation – commissioned to bolster the "defund" push found that 52 percent of Americans (or more precisely 52 percent of Americans in a selection of 10 GOP-leaning House districts) think that implementation of the law should go forward, while only 44.5 percent favor repeal. This makes intuitive sense: Not everyone who dislikes the law does so because they're conservative; some portion of the law's critics is progressives disappointed that it wasn't more liberal.
Not a myth my friend. The tea baggers and other right-wing fanatics are driving moderates and reasonable people away from the GOP...that is just a fact.
Even Rove, who created the monster of the tea party, is now aware of that. He hates the Palin/Cruz continuum and spends most of his time criticizing the freaks in the tea party. He realizes, too late, that the tea party is the freakish Golem that will strangle its master.
It's poetic justice.
The liberal house will eventually collapse on itself.
