Cruz forcing normal 60-vote passage of debt ceiling bill in the Senate to drive out RINOs (UPDATE)

Somebody's gotta call the quislings out, and I couldn't think of a better man to do it!

NationalJournal: Sen. Ted Cruz is about to make life a little more difficult for his Republican "friends."

The Texas Republican plans to object to a simple-majority, up-or-down vote on the debt ceiling, his office confirms. The clean debt-ceiling bill will then need 60 votes to pass the Senate, meaning at least five Republicans will have to join the entire Democratic caucus for it to pass.

Much of the saga over the debt ceiling has played out in the Republican controlled-House. But the Senate may not be without its own bit of drama. An aye vote on the debt-ceiling increase isn't exactly one that Republicans, even moderate ones, are itching to cast. And now Cruz...will be the one to force them into that position.

Go ahead, McConnell. You too, Cornyn, Graham and McCain. Show voters who you really are.
