On Monday afternoon, Senator Ted Cruz made a strong statement;

"I intend to speak in support of defunding Obamacare until I am no longer able to stand,"

Following Tuesday afternoon, he proved that he meant to stand by his words when he protested against the Government Funding Bill for Obamacare on the Senate floor.

The hard truth he is faced with is the fact that he may not be able to block the legislation, and that he lacked other Republicans support. He can talk long hours before the Senate reconvenes, however, not for more than 15 hours. The Senate adjourns by noon on Wednesday.

Final voting starts on Sunday as part of the series of procedural votes before the bill goes back to Congress.

Senator Ted Cruz has been quite active speaking long hours on the Senate floor, thus making colleague Paul open up a few advice when he spoke Tuesday. He said;

"Senators don't always ask for advice. I thought I'd come down and make sure you have comfortable shoes on...try not to eat on television, that's a little bit of free advice."

He also Tweeted before going to the Senate;

"I might try to sneak him some candy."

Ted Cruz also said in another statement about being comfortable standing, and talking long hours in the Senate;

"I will embarrassingly admit that I took the coward's way out and went and purchased some black tennis shoes, I am not in my argument boots, and I'll confess I really do feel embarrassed by that."

The Senator is known to throw some famous lines during speeches and interviews. Some of which was curated by ABC News;

• "If we stand together and vote 'no,' that forces this body to deal with the problem. Otherwise we know how the kabuki dance ends."

• "The moon might be as intimidating as Obamacare."

• "The American people are frustrated because their elected officials don't listen. When we're home on the campaign trail, we say we listen. And yet something about this senate floor, something about Washington, D.C. I don't know if it's the water, something in the air, the cherry blossoms, but people get here and they stop listening to the American people."
