NCSEN: Tillis slams Cruz | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: Brant Clifton uses the words of others, in part, to shine a light of what being a Republican is all about in his "bare knuckles" Conservative online publication known as The Daily Haymaker.

    Well, all of you folks who held your nose in the 2014 US Senate race - look at what you got:

    [...] Afterward, in a fiery floor speech Friday, Cruz accused McConnell of telling a "flat-out lie" by shifting his plans to move the bank measure.

    Republicans were taken aback, noting that the Senate has rules barring members from impugning the integrity of another senator - much less a party leader.

    "I think it was a violation of the rules," said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). "It's not how you treat a colleague regardless of how you feel."

    Tillis and several other GOP senators said Cruz's rhetoric backfired.

    "Generally speaking," Tillis said, senators declined to give him a roll-call vote because they disapproved of his name-calling and the risky precedent his tactics would set if he were successful in forcing a vote. .[...]


    And THIS is coming from the same guy who took such great pleasure in dressing down and trying to humiliate Robert Brawley on the floor of the North Carolina House ???

    Go back and read the transcript of Cruz's remarks. Watch the video. The guy spoke the truth.

    Oh, and this bunch also couldn't even pass a measure to defund ObamaCare. Weren't we all told happy days would be here again - only if we could get a GOP Senate?

    Folks, Big Government country club, Rockefeller Republicanism OWNS DC. We put these people in power in 2010 and 2014 to dramatically change the place. And now, they're playing the same games the other guys did and are laughing at us just like the other guys did. Pathetic.
Go Back

But remember, you are not a moderate, you are a Liberal.

Hence you are a Fool, Stan --- one can be moderate and be far more wise and good to deal with an any abject conservative I know---but I DO like you personally. . .

Hence, you are a Liberal. I knew it when you were advocating that you were a moderate. All I had to do is read your words, just as you read mine and you could read that I was a Conservative.

You should embrace being a Liberal, as I do being a true Conservative.

It is one of those things that you either are or you are not. It is like you can't be a little bit pregnant.

That's OK, Stan --- it will be a cold day in hell when I advocate for your kind of Conservatism and I fail to see any positive results of it, old sport . . .

Speaking for myself, and probably, Bobby Tony, I don't think we care about your problems with the Baptists ... in all due respect ... of course.

You 2 "brilliant Conservatives" missed the last part = "DO THE SAME THINGS THEIR FORMER ENEMIES DID THAT THEY CRITICIZED . . ."

This is what they do here in Beaufort County. The Liberals and the RINOs meet, and not only do they make up lies to tell us, they make up lies to tell each other, and I'm pretty sure that they lie to themselves.

By judging the stupid stuff they do, um ... nobody can be that continuously stupid, right?

"My experience with Liberal Politicians showed me how they meet in secret places / plot to overthrow / make up lies and rumors on their enemies / then do the same things they claimed were EVIL under the former leaders" . It is the Abject truth.

My experience with Conservatism in the Southern Baptist Convention showed me how they meet in secret places / plot to overthrow / make up lies and rumors on their enemies / then do the same things they claimed were EVIL under the former leaders . . .

Ain't politics interesting and funny these days . . .

Now, who would I vote for president: Thom Tillis or Ted Cruz?

Now, who would I vote for for North Carolina's U.S. Senator (if offered the opportunity): Thom Tillis or Ted Cruz?

MM ... me thinks Mr. Thillis should put away the knives in respect to Mr. Cruz. If Thom wants to go after fellow Republicans, I have a long list for Mr. Thillis.

My opinion: Start with the RINOs, the hypocrites, the cronies, the unpatriotic, the stupids ... well ... pretty much the RINOs.

Cajones. I suggest Thom finds out what they are and maybe get a pair.
