Sen. Cruz: It's getting harder for Democrats to support ObamaCare
Foxnews.com ^ | October 23, 2013

Sen. Ted Cruz told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Wednesday that it is becoming “harder and harder for Democrats to defend” ObamaCare as the problems plaguing the health law's sign-up website persist.

Cruz, R-Texas, said on “On the Record” that as Americans begin to see the law is “not working,” there have been few Democrats that have stepped in to defend the substance of the health care overhaul.

“I think we’re seeing momentum and I think it’s ironic all the people that just a few weeks ago were saying ‘There’s no way you can win this fight, there’s no way we can do anything to stop ObamaCare’ and they also said ‘There’s no way any D’s are going to flip,’” Cruz said. “We’re starting to see Democrats flip as this thing – it’s a train wreck and it’s not working and in any political fight, when the truth is on your side, you’re in a good situation and here the truth is this thing isn’t working.”

Cruz said that ObamaCare has bigger problems beyond the glitches plaguing the website.

“You’ve got the disasters with the website but more broadly you’ve got the impacts that are happening with jobs – it’s the biggest job killer in the country, it’s forcing people into part-time work,” Cruz said

They are using the term AFFORDABLE CARE ACT instead of OBAMACARE with the uninformed voter who ALL think these are two
different laws! This makes the poll skewed!!!

If people think its bad because its not working, wait until they see what it does when it starts working

BRING IT ON

(reminded of the scene in “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” where Clark W. Griswald is being upsold a crap car and the salesman says:

“If you think you don’t like it now, wait until you drive it!”

Obamacare is like Chernobyl.
Its a lost cause, best to abandon it and let it rot away in the history books, you cannot live in a place contaminated with that much radiation.

Damn we have waited a long time for someone Like Cruz!

But let’s not forget Mike Lee...he and his staff are EXCELLENT. Its been a team effort by Cruz/Lee and a few others....and a lot of decent folks across the country(FReepers included).

Cruz has charisma and is a natural leader...and on our side!!! Keep fighting!

I love Ted, even he needs to wake up...perhaps he sees this was a staged train wreck planned from likely 15 yrs ago...I hope he sees that.

Ted Cruz will be standing tall in the middle of what will become the pile of 0-Care rubble.

Ted Cruz was right.

Cruz set them up the bomb by getting out in front of it, and now they own it.

Actually, a Gallup poll showed that Democrat voter support had increased in the past month. If that’s the case, why should Democrat politicians back away?

Purple districts.

All those a-holes, dems, McStain, Rove, etc., owe Cruz an apology.
