Well, obviously winesipper Brooks doesn't think that it's the American people in general, and Cruz's Texas constituents in particular.

The GOP Elitists think they’re immune to being voted out on their Elitist rectums?

Maybe Ted Cruz should tell the GOP leadership that they are very unpopular with the American people...

Cruz is doing his job, the GOP leadership isn’t!

“They wanted to have this big thing, we’re going to defund Obamacare, or else shut we’re going to down the government.”

The editor must have had the week off.

Ted Cruz knows who the boss is because he’s listening to us.

I always thought “the boss” of our government was WE THE PEOPLE

Congress and the WH have gotten to be very uppity servants

I especially liked this little online survey graphic they offered to readers:

My thoughts exactly.

I don't think Ted cares. His dad came from Cuba.

Whatever, Bud. You have no idea what you’re talking about. A “cultural commentator” for the NY Slimes has no credibility.

In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."

Don't rile the RNC. The proper people are in charge and you're not.

Once again the lie is propagated.

The Reps ain’t voting to shutdown the government, everything is funded except Obamacare.

But the progressives know their audiance, low information, weak minded voting majority, that couldn’t think there way out of a wet paper bag.

Ted Cruz is representing what a majority of the people want. David Brooks is irrelevant.
