Well, it appears the Socialists just stick to the Alinsky playbook and believe that calling names will be enough to win the day. I suppose they didn’t get the memo that some Americans are just not intimidated by name calling. It seems that Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), yes the same Bob Menendez that was embroiled in an underage prostitution scandal, is fond of name calling. In the latest round of the use of “phobia,” which is really becoming quite boring, Menendez said that Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) must has “Obamaphobia” because he stand opposed to the amnesty bill being pushed forward by the Senate’s Gang of Eight, which is doing nothing more than selling out Americans to illegals.
“Well, I think he has Obamaphobia,” Menendez said of Cruz. “The reality is that it is the Gang of Eight that came together — four Democrats, four Republicans — and said that we need a path to citizenship.”
The comments from Menendez came on Tuesday, following Cruz’s comments on Monday in which he said, “The biggest obstacle to passing common sense immigration reform is President Barack Obama.”

of course, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Daschle, Clinton et al. none of them were Bushaphobic. No. they were patriotic for disagreeing
I agree. I am guilty as charged with him.
I oppose amnesty. “Go, Ted!”
Can anyone point to an issue where Cruz has gotten it wrong?
Gotta luv this guy
Since it looks as though Rubio has sold his soul, it will be up to the House Republicans to stop it by forcing Bohener to recognize the Hastert Rule requiring the vote of a majority of Republicans to be for a piece of legislation before it is brought up for a vote.
Diogenes is yelling EUREKA!!!! GO TED GO!!!
Our future US Attorney General..the obots and corruptocrats should fear the Cruz Missile.
That's beautiful.
AMEN!
I’m glad to see this bird ruffling a few feathers in Washington, D.C.
Hey! That's ANGRY bird....[GRRR!]
Gotta keep those emoting flames of the low-info voters fanned, don'tchaknow!
LOL!
I said yesterday that Cruz would have fun with this!!!! I love how he sends the Dem communists into fits.
Proud Whackobird here!
I remember being accused of being a homohobe by someone. I thought it was absurd until I found out that it is not just fear of homosexuals, as are other phobias. It includes being opposed to its legitimazation.
At which point I said, “Looks like I’m a hobophobe, and thank you for the compliment.”
If Texans can elect a patriot such as Sen. Cruz against the wishes of the quisling GOP establishment, why can’t other states do the same? We need at least 20 more patriots of his stripe iin the Senate f this country is going to be saved.
Quite possibly the best Senator (on standing firm) since Helms.
Maybe there is a better comparison but if not, then Cruz is the best I’ve seen (since the late 80s).
Media response: Oh, Crap! We’ve never had one do THAT before!
“A path to citizenship is the most divisive aspect of this bill,” Cruz told ABC’s Jeff Zeleny, “and the White House is insisting on it.”
“The path the White House is going down, I believe, is designed for this bill to fail,” Cruz added. “It is designed for it to sail through the Senate and then crash in the House to let the president go and campaign in 2014 on this issue.”
Cruz is calling them on their bogus-bill!
Cruz has no fear of the floppy eared President
A better descriptive is loather.
Like much of America, Cruz is an Obama loather
“obamaphobia” ... “homophobia” ... sound curiously alike.
Cruz reminds me of Allen West in the sense that they both refuse to be cowed into backpedaling, “clarifying” their remarks, and apologizing. Neither of them give a damn about the left’s attempts at intimidation.
