‘We’re Winning’: Ted Cruz on the Latest in Washington Amid the ‘Government Shutdown’
The Blaze ^ | October 3, 2013 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 10/03/2013 12:00:24 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) told Glenn Beck during a radio interview Thursday that conservatives are “winning” the battle in Washington over Obamacare and the “government shutdown.”

“We’re winning the debate,” the senator remarked. “That’s why they are scared and they are attacking us. The more shrill it gets, the more scared they are.”

.....“Why are they screaming so loudly? Why are they so personal? Why are they so filled with hate and fear? It’s because the American people are mobilized, are passionate and energized,” he said. “And even worse, [they] understand that Obamacare is hurting millions of Americans, and that has the left terrified out of their minds.”.....

When does Obama’s teleprompter get shut off due to lack of money?

Just got a form from my accounts for my business. Seems any business with sales volume over 500K (that’s all?) is required to give to each employee. Form tilted Form B.
No penalties for the current year but non compliance in the future will be $ 100.000 per day. Must explain health care benefits.

And he’s right. The harsher the criticism, the more they fear you. Exhibit A for this truism is Sarah Palin.

Senate Democrats block reopening of NIH, national parks (Reid disparages Cruz on Senate floor) "...........The debate on the Senate floor turned poisonous for a few minutes when Mr. Reid verbally savaged Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican who wasn’t on the chamber floor but who Mr. Reid said was pulling the strings on the GOP strategy and encouraging the GOP-dominated House’s hardline stance.

“Senator Cruz is now joint Speaker. He lectures the House,” Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, said.

Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, firing a warning shot back at Mr. Reid by reading a passage from Senate rules that forbids disparaging the motives of fellow senators."

It's true, the shut down along with the filibuster has brought attention to the disaster that Obamacare is and will become.

The bad optics at the WWII memorial and the parks have not gone the way the democrat/media complex have wanted them to go.

As long as something doesn't come up, like the woman who tried to ram things being a TEA Party leader, this is at least a draw for conservatives, and its trending towards a win. I love the deranged way the democrats are going, watching them melt down is the first political fun we've had in a long time.

We were winning in 1995, too, until Dole stabbed Gingrich in the back and decided to cave. If it appears that we are gaining momentum and the people are with us, just wait for a few RINOs who are not on our side to try to do what Dole did.
