The Cruz Missile Hits the GOP
Republicans created Dr. Cruzenstein and now they seem shocked that he’s he’s walking around (1) looking like an idiot, and (2) taking all their money.
Let’s talk about coming back to bite you on the butt. Ted Cruz is raking in more money lambasting Republicans than any Democrat does. The part the GOP is mad about is that it’s Republican money. Ted Cruz is taking Republican money to call other Republicans names.
Well, not every individual Republican is pretending to buy into Cruz’s plot. Some rational Republicans — or the “surrender caucus,” as Cruz calls them — see that the plan is doomed and are saying so. Here are five Republicans who are calling BS on Ted Cruz’s very profitable “Defund Obamacare” gambit.
Holding the American economy, paychecks for the military, and social security checks hostage is not going to work. Ted Cruz knows that.
Hell, Ted Cruz is to politics what professional wrestling is to sports.
It’s all fake. It’s just a money making deal.
You know, in all honesty, I would be rooting for this bull in a china closet except it’s my damn china closet. This china closet doesn’t just belong to the GOP. But the Republicans in congress all have breath that smells like hen feathers.
If the GOP is willing to sell the full faith and credit of the United States of Damn America to a man who is hall Hulk Hogan and half Jimmy Swaggart, then I say screw them all — and the horses they road in on because those horses were probably a lot smarter than the riders.
And that’s how I start my Thursday morning.
And we wonder why the American Public doesn’t trust Congress. Except for the Koch-controlled Tea Party.
1Saw this coming. Now I gotta go to C-SPAN and watch the vote on the Nutrition Title to the Farm Bill, you know, the one where the Rethugs want all the poor to starve.
2It they pass the ‘starve the poor bill’ I hope the pres. will veto it!
3I have good news on this front.
One of the few young, rational Republicans I know was recently asked by the powers-that-TEA-be in her county to run for state rep. She called to consult with me about what to do. Before she called she had already decided against it but wanted to talk it out one more time. Basically, she turned them down because the Texas Republican Party has become too nutty for her. She actually said that she can’t be a member of a team lead by the likes of Perry and Abbott. She is young and decided she can wait until after the come-uppance that is coming and then join in the rebuilding. It is encouraging to know that people are beginning to make the shift away from these nuts.
4“Hell, Ted Cruz is to politics what professional wrestling is to sports.” Funny, but speaking as a fan of the wrasslin’ I am somewhat offended that you compare these real entertainers to Cruz.
5I Ted Cruz is starring in his own movie, might I suggest a couple of titles?
Cruzing for a Bruising
Teddy Cruzer, Big Bad Loser
6Please folks recall him back to Texas (on his way home to Canada) the country cannot afford this buffoon!
7I don’t like Ted Cruz, but I do like the fact that it’s the GOP that has him. The guy is political herpes.
8Pass the popcorn.
9Prove to me that the republi-can’ts aren’t doing this to raise the interest rates on the bonds used to pay for their profligate spending.
10Hell yeah it’s about the $$$$$. How else do you explain how people like Rick Perry get to be millionaires on a government paycheck.
