Rep. Peter King: Ted Cruz And Rand Paul Are RINOs

REP. PETER KING (R-NY): Andrea, this is the strategy of Ted Cruz and going back to mid-September, I said that Ted Cruz was a fraud, that there was a dead-end to this policy and it made no sense to follow it. John Boehner also told us in early September that it would be the wrong thing to do to shut down the government in an attempt to defund Obamacare. Unfortunately, we have three or four dozen Republicans in the House, Cruz Republicans, who basically threatened to bring the House down if John Boehner did not pursue this policy. John knew it was not doing to work, but he felt he had no choice. I understand his position.

[twister881]

Orwellian. King is off his rocker...sad, really.

[ScottinVA]

Maybe you’re right, Peter. The conservatives perhaps should be called RINOs... that, of course, until they found their OWN party.

[simonjo]

Oh, shut up Peter King. All hat, no cattle!

[Obadiah]

The RINOs, they be angry, and they be lashing out.

[svcw]

hahahahah Headline is hysterical, can’t breathe from laughing........

[Peter ODonnell]

I suppose he’s right in the narrow sense that conservatives aren’t “real Republicans” so the logic would then suggest that real conservatives should run under their own banner and let the Republican Party die a natural death as a sort of halfway house for socialist-Democrats.

Why bother having a “sort of Democrat” party when there’s already a Democratic Party with all the bells and whistles of big government socialism?

Might as well pull the plug on that and run candidates under a Conservative Party banner, and make sure it really is conservative and not CINO (the Canadian or UK version of RINO).

[austinaero]

King needs to hear from all of us,,LOUDLY!

[VRWCarea51]

Looks like Peter King is taking a lesson from his master, Nero.

Projection is thy Name Peter...

[ryan71]

Keep digging that hole, Pete.

[twister881]

King is being dishonest. He harbors the desire to run for president in 2016, even though his chances as a Congressman are nil. It’s his ego that’s getting in the way as he stakes out the “moderate” ground and paints Cruz & Paul as “extremists.” All this mock outrage is just political theater. Traitor.

[twister881]

And if King can’t be POTUS, he wants to succeed Whiner as House Speaker.

[RKBA Democrat]

“We cannot allow our party to be taken over by the likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.”

I wholeheartedly agree! They should both leave the gop wing of the uniparty and start or join a different political party. I think they’d be happier to leave Rep. King with the stinking corpse of the gop.

[gov_bean_ counter]

He had a plan you moron, but you were too freaking stupid to figure it out.

It is what every good prosecutor does when he has a number of witnesses who refuse to budge. They turn the heat up. And they keep turning it up until they turn on each other.

Please Pete. Go away. Just STHU and go away.

[niteowl77]

And we have to cut this guy off now.

There is the money quote. Destroy Ted Cruz before he destroys us.

Peter King becomes John McCain minus the purported military "credentials." Wonderful, innit?

Mr. niteowl77

[LibLieSlayer]

No... they just look like that to a fat communist fag like yourself peter-eater.

[ohioman]

Rot in hell Peter King!

[Sacajaweau]

peter is a baby kisser....

[b4its2late]

I think he went off the deep end of a pier somewhere down there in Long Island.

[vette6387]

“No... they just look like that to a fat communist fag like yourself peter-eater.”

“Peter King,” sounds like the name of a bouncer in a gay bar!

[PotatoChop]

Peter King, please get back on your meds, one more ass-hat in congress is exactly what the American people do not need.

You may only speak when the American tax payers jerks your chain, until then, sit down, shut your pie hole, and remain silent while the adults (Cruz, Lee, and Paul) stand up for the American people and put an end to this out of control government!

[mojito]

King was also out front defending the NSA spy-on-everyone-all-the-time programs.

If he likes 0bamacare and the surveillance state so much, and the Constitution so little, then I know a party that would welcome him with open arms.

[NTHockey]

Amazing what happens to a person who has delusions of being President. Pete, how do you expect to win even your next primary when you throw away half your voters?

[El Cid]

Sadly, I agree with King.
I'd hazard a guess that 80% of the Republican Congressmen/women are members of the same 'Big Government' party as the Democrats. They run as Republicans to get elected in conservative districts.
Americans that favor limited Government and seek the follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights are a rarity. So, by that definition Cruz is a 'RINO'.

[onyx]

Peter King: STHU and Go straight to Hell.

Like I said on another thread, he is John McCain without any military service!!!

[o2bfree]

I think somebody in the GOP majority in the house should call him a democrat to his face with the camera’s rolling. King will turn red faced and go into hysterics and have a nervous fit... Right on cue.

[LibLieSlayer]

It does... or a male stripper for gay weddings.

[Gay State Conservative]

Well,one thing's for sure...between "the honorable gentleman" and I only one of us is exempt from Osama Obama Care.

And it ain't me.

[Elle Bee]

[cotton1706]

Haha. All the right people are exposed now. The charade is over.

[PGR88]

What the hell is wrong with King?

[wac3rd]

FUPK

[puppypusher]

RNC,Please advise Peter King to join a party more to his liking.Just make sure its the Democrat(Communist)Party.

He’ll be very happy there and he’ll still keep his title.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sadly, he may be correct. I figured I was the RINO when Romney clinched the nomination. The party left us.

[CityCenter]

Would be better just to pretend he doesn’t exist. For someone like King, would be a fate worse than death itself.

[conservative98]

King is right. King is the real Repubic.

[trebb]

Now we know why the word "peter" is synonymous with "dick"...
I guess that his name makes him king of the dick...

[spawn44]

King and the other rinos sound like they have some pending business deals hanging for campaign contributors.

[justa-hairyape]

Why did Obama refuse to sign the bill funding the government without Obamacare ? Because he knew it is a disaster for the American people and the Congress would never fund it.

Rep. Peter King: Ted Cruz And Rand Paul Are The Real RINOs (video)

This guy is as insane as the treasonous Democrats.

King just doesn't get it. What alternate dimension is he in?

"RINO" until recently, defined politicians with an (R) after their name, who behaved identically to the no-limit spend Democrats, and no longer the conservative republican (with a small "r") constitutional, fiscally prudent party.

THAT IS NO LONGER TRUE.

"RINO" has been redefined now, for those who are finally, and seriously fighting for traditional, fiscally responsible Republican governance.

If that redefinition is true, RINO is suddenly a good label.

[publius911]

And if King can’t be POTUS, he wants to succeed Whiner as House Speaker.

Fat chance!

[publius911]

I think he went off the deep end of a pier somewhere down there in Long Island.

Does that mean there are sharks off Long Island that he's decided to jump?

[RginTN]

Peter King doesn’t want Conservatives to vote Republican. Ok. See how you win without us.

[publius911]

I guess that his name makes him king of the dick...

Not yet.
For the moment he's just "King Dick."

[RetiredArmy]

New commercial on TV just now with RINO Utah gov and Dimwit IN gov wanting people to sign petition to stop the gov shut down. Stinking RINO and Commies going together.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Signaling a new level of Dem/RINO desperation.

[elkfersupper]

For once, Peter King is right.

Ron Paul and Ted Cruz are libertarians, which is exactly what is needed in this environment and why they are enjoying so much success and fear from their opponents.

[elkfersupper]

Make that Ron AND Rand Paul.

[hadaclueonce]

At least those in New York can be proud that they have a R that is just as bad as McCain.

NY is this years AZ.
