Ted Cruz, House Republicans Meet in Secret at Tortilla Coast (on Capitol Hill)

Roll Call ^ | Tuesday, October 15, 2013 | Matt Fuller

I doubt it. Any connection to McCain at this point in time is toxic for a Republican, especially one running for a red state seat.

[Lancey Howard]

McCarthy is a regular at the Capitol Hill watering hole, and a source said he seemed particularly interested in what the group was up to.

Cruz looked up, noticed McCarthy staring in from the other room, and got up from the table to close the door.

88mm In-coming bigtime Flak right now from the center of Extortion-Care. Straight in or it’s all over.

Who says you have to have a “connection” with McCain to pass on details
of what was discussed at a meeting to him or one of his staff members?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Push it past the 17th just to show Obie and the Dems for the liars they are (again).

[Viennacon]

Things like that can get out, like McConnell’s ‘traitor’ comment. That comment has probably lost him 10 points in the primary.

“Hahaha. Roll Call is so pathetic...this reads like a bad spy novel..Kevin McCarthy was particularly interested in what they had to say...didnt it occur to Roll Call that Cruz met here on purpose so that everyone could see them in the “popular watering hole”?...I love how Ted just keeps poking these squishes right in the eye...”

That was exactly the thought I had reading this! Cruz is tweaking the House Leadership head on. I love this guy!

In the basement? =)

I believe our guys *wanted* to be seen, or they wouldn’t have been. This is encouraging news.

McCain - the Marshal Pétain of the Vichy Republicans.

While the emerging deal to reopen the government and hike the debt ceiling increase may have been a hot topic, it was not immediately clear what the group actually discussed. But the fact that such a group met with Cruz at all could give House GOP leaders even more heartburn as they consider themselves what to do if the Senate passes the measure.

Senator Ted Cruz, House Majority Leader. I like it. If he's helping the conservative House members plan anything, I'd like to think it's the overthrow of Boehner.

Someone should have been seen carrying a file marked: -CLASSIFIED- IMPEACHMENT LIST

[itsahoot]

Ron Johnson didn't vote with Cruz, but with Dingy.

Levin had him on last Thursday give it a listen to see how much of a worm Johnson is. He sounded like a democratic talking point specialist.

[SaxxonWoods]

Dig the comments under the article. The leftys are in hysteria.

I love this govt slowdown and I don’t want it to end.

<...”I believe our guys *wanted* to be seen, or they wouldn’t have been”....>

I tend to think so as well.... There’s a great deal of ‘political posturing’ going on now at any given moment and place throughout DC and otherwise. Much is show to one side or the other as well as to distract and confuse either side.

Bottom line still remains that Obamacare cannot be funded for the long term....especially now that the “Navigators” have resorted to “Hard copy” (Paper forms) enrollment because they are so desperate to sign people up. Which by the way won’t work because theirs no program to work with paper enrollment anyway.....what Jerks these people are!

[Nextrush]

Someone in the meeting with Cruz is a Judas who will report back to Boehner. That’s how politics usually works with one faction sending pretenders (spies) into the meetings of the other.

[VerySadAmerican]

McCarthy is a traitor. All those meeting with Cruz who give the leadership headaches should be ousting the leadership.

[VerySadAmerican]

McCarthy was there for the booze. He’s an alcoholic. I don’t know that but what the hell.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

[EBH]

Have you read the comments there?!

Whoa...
