Thanks for posting that.

I agree. The Republican message should be that the Democrats are holding the budget hostage, are being partisan, and are threatening to defund the government if their demands aren't met.

First time in almost 10 years I made it to the side bar!!!!This is fixin to be a good day!

a degree from Harvard

I can't help but wonder if he really despises Sean Hannity, the man without a college degree, the outsider at Fox News who's been moved away from O'Reilly's hour, so Bill can be surrounded by his fawning fems.

O'Reilly sees himself totally right in wanting American blood to be spilled to protect Obama's credibility in Syria. He sees Assad as evil, but the other side doesn't count.

He absolutely bitterly opposed any talk to defund ObamaCare.

He staunchly supports gay marriage, adoption, and agenda.

His platform enables him to spread his blather.

Outstanding. Better yet, go to the site and write a comment supporting Cruz. I wrote a couple myself. Occasionally, we have to preach outside the choir.

Who believes these ObamaBot reporters and their “unnamed sources? They are doing their best to divide the GOP. Of course, the fossilized Republicans do hate the conservatives who shake up their little domaine, so they try to buy the praise of the Leftist media by feeding them this garbage anonymously.

As I told Newt. When you go down this path you are all in. There is no retreat. No money until they break. That said, I support gov’t shutdown 150%. Pass it and walk away until the libtard s scream for mercy.

[NFHale]

Heheheh... Ol’ Teddy is stirring the sh*tpot with a giant stick, and the Bluebloods are HATIN’ on him for it!!!

Go Ted, Go....

[Colonel_Flagg]

But House Republicans didn’t care; they were apoplectic with Cruz not only for laying the responsibility for defunding on them, but for making them seem weak.

But they are weak, especially in leadership. And perhaps the next time some ball-less Republican senator rolls his eyes when discussing the clearly expressed will of the American people, some one will use his fingers to make the point.

[Caipirabob]

I’m set to Cruz control.

[iontheball]

I agree, but the man is taking it from all sides. I worry that he will back off...give up. I don’t know the man. Doesn’t anyone here know of him? Surely, he has already worked a miracle by bringing this to a head.

If you want to be reassured, just look to his dad. This is where he got his beliefs. Many times you can not have in a man everything you want, but I just wish he had a military background. The military takes leaders and hones them into warriors. Nonetheless, I believe Cruz will not faint under fire and he sure is going to have to take hellfire from all fronts on this one. The RINOs in the Senate really need to to be tarred and feathered and strung up.

[McGruff]

Stay on course senator.

[SharpRightTurn]

The Big Government Republicans hate Mike Lee and Ted Cruz even more than the Dhimms hate them. After all, the Dhimms don’t pretend to be “conservatives” and Lee and Cruz are forcing the Republican elites to now act conservative.

Lee and Cruz have put the establishment cockroaches in the hot seat and they resent it tremendously. Having finally put enough pressure on Boehner/Cantor to at least pretend that they are fighting ObummerCare, and Cruz having painted a realistic picture of what will likely happen in the Dhimm controlled Senate, now the Establishment Republicans are coming out of the woodwork to accuse Cruz of backpedaling.

It’s hilarious to see these Big Government Republicans attach Cruz for retreating when it took him and Mike Lee to drag their sorry tails to a point where they are having to fight.

I saw in an article this morning it was 8.

[LibLieSlayer]

Beautifully stated and I agree with you 100%!

[nikos1121]

What site are you talking about NRO?

[penelopesire]

I now call myself a ‘Ted Cruz’ republican on Twitter. He has a lot more support from the grassroots than the elites think...lol.

[ScottinVA]

Yeah, if the grumblers are sooooo convinced that Cruz is speaking only for a small "fringe" within the Republican/Conservative base, then why are they always afraid to reveal their names in these hit pieces?

Exactly. If they take such umbrage to Cruz' brashness, one would think they'd be proud to make themselves known so as to ingratiate themselves with the "media." These purported repubs are probably the usual suspects... McCain, Graham, Corker, Alexander and other "Get-along Gang" GOP-E types.

Screw those quisling bastards... we've played their game long enough, and to what end?? If defunding Obamacare results in a governmental shutdown and it mortally damages the GOP, then the inevitability of the establishment of a new conservative party moves forward on the calendar.

I'm just listening to Laura Ingraham and am SICKENED by EVRYONE on OUR SIDE just BERATING the REPUBLICANS when they should be BLASTING THE DEMOCRATS AND HARRY REID!

STFU, LAURA and the rest of you....go after the DEMOCRATS!!

We ALWAYS have a CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD...ALWAYS....That's why we are in the shape we are in!!
