Today, I proudly voted to Defund Obamacare, and I am proud that every Senate Republican has united in support of the House-passed Defund Obamacare provision.

I only wish that more Senate Democrats, many of whom were responsible for Obamacare’s passage into law, would have voted with us. (NOTE: The amendment to remove the Defund Obamacare provision, which passed the House, was defeated by the Democrat-controlled Senate by a straight party-line vote of 44-54.)...


Lindsey, you made the provision strip happen. Without your vote for Cloture, it would have required 60 votes to strip it and it would still be in there.

You lied.

He is using the McCain tricks.  McCain screens who is allowed at his townhalls.  A couple of years ago someone who had something they wanted to ask him had to go to something like five different townhalls before they finally went to SunCity and managed to get in the door..... but when she started asking a tough question his people strong-armed her out of the room.........  that story spread like wildfire around AZ...

The day when you could thread the needle and have it both ways is over, voters are awake and watching what is going on. In fact today you voted to support Obamacare, not kill Obamacare. Shame on you and every GOP senator who voted with Harry Reid today.
