Yes, amazingly so, isn’t it? Keep at it, GOP!!!
Candy Crowley disgusts me as do 99.9% of the media. :)
The Pundiots like Georgie Will hate having to explain Cruz to his friends at the Brie and Chablis parties. He would rather explain how to manage defeat.
His willingness to fight and to articulate basic American notions of limited government is something we’ve been looking for since Reagan.

Not that difficult to do.
Most Anything in govt. can be defunded.You don't have to kill it just defund it.What if govt. had five million unfunded employees and two million that were funded,it could happen.
“Wallace has done a good job.”
OMG!!! Now I have to watch!
MTP has Savannah Guthrie sitting in for DNC Dave, who must be still recovering from the beatdown administered by Ted Cruz last week. The MSM simply cannot handle Cruz-Control.

Jack Lew Gets Grilled by Chris Wallace Over The Shutdown & Obamacare - Fox News Sunday 10-6-13
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEEALSMrXJk
Savannah Guthrie is reading her teleprompter questions with an increasingly frantic voice, as she interviews Rand Paul. Another lop-sided fight!
I think Breitbart picked this up a few days ago and so far that thread is over 6,000 posts!
It's all happening right where I live.
What is going on is that the everglades Nat. Park,run by an obama psychophant Jonathan Jarvis-- director of all Nat.Parks have closed the 650 square miles of Fla. Bay to boaters/fishermen etc.
It's particularly tough this time of year. Our economy typically dives anywhere from 50-70% in Sept.,Oct.and Nov. so if we get a storm or stuff like this it all but shuts us down.
We need fishermen coming to the Keys. Our economy depends on it.
The fishermen come from all over the world. They stay in hotels/motels, hire boats, eat in restaurants,their wives spend money in the area shops, and the economy flourishes. But, it all starts with the ability to go fishing in the back,Everglades Nat. Park. Take that away and you just shut down a portion of our economy at the slowest time of the year,not good.
What is going on is that if boaters/captains going into the park get caught they usually get a warning the first time.The second time they will try and take the boat away.
Getting told we can't fish here or there is really nothing new down here. The feds have been doing it since the 70's on both sides of the Keys. And, it just gets worse every year.
this is the worst ever! Figures. It happens under the socialist administration of jarvis/obama. By the way Jarvis is screwing up all over the country from false info on oyster farming in Calif, just ask Dianne Feinstein,closing down parts of the Outer Banks for bird nesting, Mt. Rushmore cones, you name it his ugly hand is everywhere.
And now this
Feds evict elderly couple from their home, cite shutdown

God bless Boehner!
ABC - George could not believe that Boehner was standing strong for the people.
Savannah Guthrie’s question writers must be interns at MTP.
She only gave Paul lead-ins to express rational Republican perspective on our country’s situation.
This is a short clip and a longer one will be posted soon.

Ted Cruz to Candy Crowley: Use Debt Ceiling Vote to ‘Mitigate’ ObamaCare - CNN - 10/6/13
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh5PMEhvkVc
Published on Oct 6, 2013
10/6/13 - On CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued that provisions “mitigating” the Affordable Care Act should be attached to a vote to raise the debt ceiling, a sign that the Senator who helped engineer the current government shutdown over ObamaCare is willing to take the fight to the next level. “Number one, we should look for some signifiant structural plan to reduce government spending,” Cruz said in response to host Candy Crawley’s question about what he would seek in return for the raising of the debt limit. “Number two, we should avoid new taxes. Number three, we should look for ways to mitigate the harm from ObamaCare.”
This stopped Crowley. “You think that some facet of the president’s health care plan should be attached to an increase in the debt ceiling?”
“The debt ceiling historically has been among the best leverage that Congress has to rein in the executive,” Cruz replied. “There’s great historical precedent. Since 1978 we’ve raised the debt ceiling fifty-five times. A majority of those times, twenty-eight times, Congress has attached very specific and stringent requirements, many of the most significant spending restraints, things like Gramm Rudman [i.e. the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act], things like sequestration, came through the debt ceiling.”
“So the president’s demand, jack up the country’s credit card with no limits and no constraints, is not a reasonable one,” Cruz said.
......we bring in 250 billion in tax revenues every month and our interest payment is 20 billion there is no reason we should ever default.
Wow Rand Paul!! just too good.
If this comment gets out all the regimes arguments go away and quickly!!
What’s the scoop down there, rodguy911....is your ocean still open, or have they closed it too ? Ha!
