(CNSNews.com) - If Congress passes legislation deferring a decision on the debt ceiling and stopgap government funding, Republicans should anticipate another crisis in six to eight weeks, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said on Monday.

"We have to anticipate Ted Cruz is going to try to do this again. Ted Cruz and 30 or 40 people in the House. And we have to start going after him by name. I've been doing it all along. I wish I had more company on it."

King said "we just can't have" Republicans or Ted Cruz second-guessing the final outcome of the current stalemate.

"What's going to happen, months from now, after this is resolved, he's going to say, 'Republicans were on the edge of winning. But they lost their nerve in the end, and they caved in. This time it's going to work.' I think he's going to rewrite history. And we have to make sure he doesn't do it. And it's really time to speak out against him. And also again, there's about 30 or 40 (conservatives) in the House who are going to go with him. We can't let John Boehner and Eric Cantor be put into this position again. They told us in mid-September this would be a disaster."

King said Republicans all over the country are going to suffer because of what Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has done: "I don't care where you're from, what Ted Cruz is doing is affecting the entire country."

King said "there's no doubt that Democrats are winning" right now, but he also said that President Obama needs to "play a more aggressive role" in bringing the two sides together. - See more at: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/rep-peter-king-we-have-start-going-after-ted-cruz-name#sthash.GiHprG4W.dpuf

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

[AmericanInTokyo]

They are trying to “Joe McCarthy” him.

[workerbee]

Peter King, “R”-NY.

TRAITOR. Enemy of the United States.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess if you’re too cowardly to go after the commie ‘RAT thugs, you might as well go after Republicans.

[cripplecreek]

And we need to start calling Steve King a Kapo Republican’t because that’s what he is.

[basil]

Yeah—like Rep Peter King is such an asset.....

[slapshot]

Peter King. NOT Steve King

Dont mess with Texas IRA Pete

[Graewoulf]

Obama is a Communist.

Peter King supports Obama.

Therefore, Esteemed NY Rep. Peter King is: ______________________________________________________

A. no different than any other RINO.

B. favored by Boehner to replace Cantor as Majority Whip in the House.

C. upset that a US Senator does not follow McCain’s orders.

D. none of the above.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I wonder what the NSA dug up on this a$$wipe?

[Army Air Corps]

Piss off, bootlicker.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This idiot needs primaried.

[cripplecreek]

I’m sorry you’re right.

Spell check doesn’t prevent brain farts.

[okie01]

And we need to start calling Steve King a Kapo Republican’t because that’s what he is.

Steve King is the conservative Republican Congressman from Iowa.

Peter King is the Republicrat putz from Long Island.

Don't confuse the two.

[PieterCasparzen]

Pete King, darling of international banking / new world order.

[dainbramaged]

It’s pretty clear where that quisling stands. Unfreakingbelieveable.

[unixfox]

"I don't care where you're from, what Ted Cruz is doing is affecting the entire country."

Too bad we don't have a few more like him.

[LyinLibs]

[logic101.net]

We really need to have a RINO season. Maybe Jan - Dec? No bag limit?

[LyinLibs]

[Arm_Bears]

I don’t think Ted Cruz has been shy about any of this.

WTH is this Yankee idiot smoking?

[LyinLibs]

[43north]

F U P K

[cripplecreek]

Don't confuse the two.

I usually don't but I don't know what happened this time. In any case I'm talking about this idiot.

[DManA]

They are cowards and bullies. They will attack Cruz behind the scenes. Not out in open.

[workerbee]

I wonder what the NSA dug up on this a$$wipe?

Nothing!

It's time conservatives stop giving Repubs an excuse in the form of "files by NSA/FBI/CIA", etc. For the most part, that's total tinfoil hat crap!

No. The truth is, too many Repub pols are socialists and go-along-get-along BSers who want their fluffy perks. The sooner we accept and deal with that, the better.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I expect hearing this trash from a Dem Commie lover..NOT from a supposed Republican..New Yorkers..THROW HIS ASS OUT!!

[Mortrey]

Hey, Petey-boy-—watch this to see who has Cruz’s back:

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Will all these Repubs going left it makes me wonder if the Kenyan is using some underhanded tactics here such as blackmail.

[clintonh8r]

Has anybody ever been inside somebody else’s head the way Cruz is inside King’s head?

[Venturer]

Lets go after Peter King by name.

A New York POS.

[Fungi]

This is a fool nonpareil.

[Old Yeller]

We have to start going after Peter King by mob.

[Maurice Tift]

  I was a witness to this war between the 'moderates' and the conservatives back in the early 80s when I got involved and went to the district and state Republican conventions. It seems like the moderates are getting nervous now.I think Ted Cruz has helped us all to identify the moderates in the party and they're the ones who need to be voted out of office in the primaries.

[Carl Vehse]

Peter King, “R”-NY. TRAITOR. Enemy of the United States.

His name is Peter Traitorking.

[Jim from C-Town]

Asset? More like ASS HAT!

[Mastador1]

I guess if you’re too cowardly to go after the commie ‘RAT thugs, you might as well go after Republicans.

I don’t know what Kingrat is talking about, he and all the other demonrats have been going after Cruz by name from day one. And what do mean cowardly? By God this man has the balls of a amoeba!

[acapesket]

They got somethin’ big on that Boy....plus I think he quit his Meds due to Ozombie Care!

LOL...!! I love my own jokes!

(sad that.. but whatever!)

[Paladin2]

Can’t P. King be holed below the water line?

[workerbee]

Let me repeat: The truth is, too many Repub pols are socialists and go-along-get-along BSers who want their fluffy perks. The sooner we accept and deal with that, the better.

Peter King is not being blackmailed. The NSA doesn't have a file on him.

He's just a plain ole ordinary POS traitor. He wants to keep his freebies. He sees the Cruz faction closing in and so he's running to what he thinks is safety -- the MSM and the socialist Demoncrats. Nothing more complicated than that.

[V K Lee]

Love your interpretation of the bubble boy!! PULL THE PLUG

[Gene Eric]

King will likely lose his seat to a Democrat.

[aquila48]

If Ted Cruz is the leader of the tea party, Peter King is the leader of the RINOs... and we definitely should go after the leader of the herd by name!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

F U P K !

[Nextrush]

I’ve said over 90 percent of the GOP elected officials are fake and phony conservatives and King confirms that with his estimate of who the “troublemakers” are.....

[stanne]

King comes across as a shriveled, angry, bitter man.

The fresh, ‘we’re here for the American people by way of the Constitution’ approach that Senator Cruz presents, might sell a whole lot better.

That’s what my people are counting on.
