Cry Baby Dana Milbank: ‘Ted Cruz Bullied Republicans for Years’

Is Dana Milbank – one of the Washington Compost’s many leftist columnists – really a girly man or do you think he’s just pretending?

"Finally, Senate Republicans are standing up to the bully who terrorized them the past two and a half years — and they’re finding out he isn’t so tough, after all. After Cruz on the Senate floor Friday called his fellow Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), a liar, his GOP colleagues have moved swiftly to shut down his antics. They voted in large numbers to renew the Export-Import Bank (McConnell’s scheduling of the vote, opposed by Cruz, is what prompted Cruz to accuse McConnell of lying) and they thwarted Cruz and his sidekick, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), on poison-pill amendments to the highway bill..."

A bully who “terrorized” Republicans? How did he do that, exactly? By threatening to wipe entire nations off the earth, like Iran has done – a country John Boehner et al. are more than willing to negotiate with? Or did he perhaps create a little army of radicals who are ready and willing to behead anyone who disagrees with the dear Senator from Texas?

Why no. Of course not. All Cruz did was standing up for conservative principles. That’s it. He was elected by the people of Texas; they wanted him to actually behalve like a principled conservative… and that’s exactly what he has done.

Apparently, that’s enough nowadays to accuse someone of ‘terrorizing’ and of being a ‘bully.’ In the real world, where real men live, the entire notion is laughable, but Dana Milbank lives in the Washington bubble so he actually thinks that nagging and whining like a disgruntled little girl makes people sympathize with him.

No thanks.

Sounds like all the more reason to support Cruz.

Standing up for what you believe in = Bullying Behavior

Shouting down and silencing those who disagree with you = Standing up for what you believe in.

Juxta-Progresivism

[cripplecreek]

Ted Cruz really does terrify the democrats and probably more than a few elected republicans.

Real people not so much.

[VictoryGal]

Hey Dana. This one's for you!

[LibWhacker]

Bullied his whole life.

[CMailBag]

The biggest bully in Washington is that Chicago street punk.

[miss marmelstein]

Good! It’s why I support him.

[DoughtyOne]

Pathetic.

Ted Cruz told the truth.  If that's so tough to take, it must mean there are some embarrassed people out there.  Too bad.

You know a scumbag socialist ny the methods and words they use

[dowcaet]

So calling people out to follow through on implementing legislation they were sent to Washington to do and not buddy up with lobbyists and big money donors is now called bullying? Dana, time to stop inhaling that bad air in DC full of lefty and establishment myopia, and get out there amongst the people of this country to find out the truth that what y’all are doing in the nation’s capital is making Americans lives miserable.

[marron]

Ad hominem when you don’t want to deal with what they actually said.

[Paladin2]

It is impossible for the base to bully the GOPee.

[nathanbedford]

The sin is not in telling the lie but in betraying the ill grace to expose it

[smoothsailing]

Milbank is a pussy, that’s all you had to say. It doesn’t require 8 paragraphs.
