Oh dear Lord how awful can this get?

Ted Cruz’s logic twisting machine has got it floored in neutral and pumping propane.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday argued that President Barack Obama and Democrats, not Republicans, were the ones trying to shut down the federal government because he insisted on funding a health care reform law that was passed in 2010.

No, he’s serious.  It’s President Obama who is causing them to shut down the government because he’s insisting that the votes were counted and Obamacare won.  Who died and made him President?

“We have voted to fund the federal government. We want to fund the federal government. Why is President Obama threatening to shut down the federal government? Because he wants force Obamacare down people’s throats.’”

One reporter pointed out to Cruz that polls showed that most people thought that defunding a law and shutting down the government was not the proper way to govern.

The Texas senator, however, argued that some polls had been crafted as tools of advocacy.

Actually, he wanted to say that polls are tools of the devil as are the electorate.

Y’all, this is where we’ve come to.  It’s Ted in Wonderland.  You could have one eye tied behind your back and still see that this man is nuts.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up and John for the graphic.
