"Basically, 'filibuster' is just a funny word." Please come CAPTION Ted Cruz!!!!



Ted ("You can take that to the betting parlor" ) Cruz is saying: "Madam Chairwoman, I rise today to speak on the behalf of millions of Americans against the prenicious effects of Obamacare before it crushes their hopes and dreams, destroys their families, and dessimates their values, leaving them destitute, mad, and utterly alone in a cold, alien world. . . . Our land will never know peace, our children will never be safe, and our way of life ever resemble the modern world again if we let this monstrous law go into effect. . . . Just how is is exaggerating to call Obamacare the greatest enemy we or any other people have ever faced?"
