If only he'd read The Lorax next ;-) </p> <p>But seriously, did he wear a diaper? Get a catheter? He's got some stamina, that's for sure, but I agree with @Mrs. Jacks: that seeing as it was not a real filibuster it was mostly a waste of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111743 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:54:30 +0000 wonderstruck 1111743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yes, I said the exact same thing about Green Eggs and Ham! So ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111090 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:42:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1111090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: that sounds good... Just not with the fox, because he might find out what the fox says before we do... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111084 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:40:11 +0000 Honeybee 1111084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: How about in the dark? :) They can shout all they want in a train tunnel without bothering the rest of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111079 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:37:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1111079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I think we should put him in a box. Maybe then we can get back to the business of governing. You know you are on the wrong side of things when your own party is denouncing you left and right.</p> <p>Just him and Mike Lee trying to break the country! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111073 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:34:42 +0000 Honeybee 1111073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Important question: Do you think he'll like it in a tree, though? :) I think his entire performance was ridiculous and infuriating. Cruz had no effect whatsoever on the ACA; he did, however threaten the jobs of millions of federal employees by delaying debt discussions/bills with his nonsense. Don't worry, though, even if the government shutdown happens, Congress people like Cruz will continue to collect their paychecks. Freaking ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111018 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:20:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1111018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I do so like green eggs and ham, thank you thank you, Sam-I-Am!</p> <p>Can you imagine Ted Cruz thanking President Obama? Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1111003 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:12:51 +0000 Honeybee 1111003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: This is exactly the comment my husband made! "Try it, try it! You will see!" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1110973 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:00:27 +0000 Mrsbells 1110973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yes I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1110962 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:54:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1110962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, filibuster is there for a reason, but given that this isn't a real filibuster and wasn't designed to change any outcomes, I think it was ridiculous grandstanding.</p> <p>Besides, hasn't he read Green Eggs and Ham? The main character finds out that he actually likes the thing he thought he hated. The irony was not lost on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-speeches-in-the-senate#post-1110921 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:47:31 +0000 Mrsbells 1110921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you guys follow Ted Cruz's 21 hour speech last night? </p> <p>Personally whatever your political opinions are, I dont understand the need for one person to talk for 21 hours and he digressed a lot, probably because he was tired and also briefly read from Dr Seuss. Do you think speeches of this length are necessary or is it overdone</p> <p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ted-cruz-pulls-nighter-senate-obamacare/story?id=20365712" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ted-cruz-pulls-nighter-senate-obamacare/story?id=20365712</a> </p>
