King of the Damn Mountain
Ted Cruz has pretty much decided that if he can’t kill the government, he’ll shut it down.
Cruz is demanding that the senate do nothing between November 4 and January 2nd. Like we would know the difference.
Last month teabagger Cruz tried to force Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to cancel the Senate because “it weakens accountability and subverts the will of the American people” if their elected representatives dared to work after November 4, Election Day.
Now he’s willing to not fund the government after December 11th.
Cruz’s letter ignored Republican and Democratic leaders’ prior agreement to pass a stopgap measure to fund the government until December 11, that even the House passed to ensure some business would be finished during the lame duck session.
What’s the line between treason and duty? Obviously none.
Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
I predict that Ted Cruz will overreach one time too many and get himself booted out of the Senate. It will be easier to do when Mitch McConnell is no longer minority leader!
1Time for Daddy to take away Daffy Jr’s pipe and stop loading with the st00pid juice.
2And if we expected a big rush of Dems into Congress, I’m sure he’d feel exactly the same about shutting down so the lame-duck GOP couldn’t do jack.
It’s OK If You’re A Republican.
3Boy, those voices in Ted’s head, er, I mean his god, are really pushing Ted to jump off the edge.
4Montag, he went off the edge a helluva long time ago. The problem is he hasn’t yet hit bottom. He’s just floating on air like goose fluff.
5I believe that Cruz is fomenting sedition at this point and should be censured and thrown out of the Senate, a body he is attempting to destroy. The man is out of touch with reality!
6I thought all adults had brains. Cruz proves me wrong.

The Porn Star name of Sen. Ted Cruz is Maxx Jammer. Just, you know, FYI.
9I just noticed how much he looks like Bill Murray. Except Bill is funny and smart – and Ted is only funny when he is trying to be smart.
10@Cheryl … it’s taken you this long to see the similarities in looks … Cruz and Murray? Yes, thank goodness, one is funny the other … not even close!!!
11I tell you Al Capp foreshadowed TeaBaggers years ago, in the form of Senator Jack S Phogbound. “Ain’t no Jack S like our Jack S.”
12Cheryl & Marca, there’s a cartoon show about them: “Pinky and the Brain… one is a genius, the other’s insane….”
13Ted Cruz’s citizenship should be revoked and he should be deported back to Canada. If I was prone to conspiracy theories I would suspect that a hockey team from Canada sent Cruz down into the lower 48 to cause disruption.
14Can’t Cruz find anything useful to do? Aren’t you glad you never had him in third grade? or any grade for that matter.
15I really want to laugh at him but he truly frightens me. He is Joe McCarthy all over again and then some.
