I wouldn’t fact-check this through Newt Gingrich if I were you, but Ted Cruz is just amazingly certain that the 1995 – 1996 government shutdown was good for the GOP.

It is a well-known fact that Ted Cruz spent 1995-1996 admiring his image in a mirror and practicing strutting.

Ted is trying to make his idea of ruining Obamacare worth the price of shutting down the government.  Not to benefit America, mind you, but to benefit the GOP.

I think the GOP hires people to sit around in a room somewhere and make up this crapola.  Hell, it’d be cheaper to hire a herd of mules in a hailstorm because you’d get the same crazy.  Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall of that room – especially when they decide that Nixon was a Democrat?

So, dream on Pretty Boy, and do a double Gingrich backflip without mussing your hairdo.  I wanna see this.  I do.

Thanks to UmptyDump for the heads up.
