Why Elizabeth Warren does not equal Ted Cruz (Fauxcahontas is willing to play along)
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | December 15, 2014 | Sean Sullivan

At the height of the debate over a $1.1 trillion spending bill last week, we examined the similarities and differences between Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who protested the measure from opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Later, as the bill approached passage and won approval over the weekend, we saw a key distinction emerge: Cruz was willing to hold up the process to make his point. Warren was not.

Warren opposed the bill because of a provision that would relax a restriction on Wall Street banks. In press conferences and Senate floor speeches, Warren spoke out against the bill and encouraged others to vote against it. She also teamed up with Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) to introduce an amendment to strip out the banking provision.

Cruz used similar tactics to protest what he saw as an inadequate response in the bill to President Obama's executive actions on immigration....

These debates would be a bloodbath and the MSM would play the drubbing as a chapter on the “war on women”.

She may have folded but she might have gotten the votes from George Will and Charles Krauthammer. At lest their respect.

Of course they then both talked about what an idiot Senator Cruz is.
Well (kinda drawn out as Mr Reagan used to) I am liking that idiot better by the day.

The more people gripe about Cruz the more I like him.

Old Chucky and Georgy are DC elites and only worry about what Xmas party to get invited too.

They are the problem.

Cruz is a threat to the Republicrat Party, which is why the media hate and fear him. They know he is smart, they know he can debate them into the ground, so they must poison the public’s perception of him.

Wall Street paid for the Warren for Senate campaign.

She’s very of her times: says one thing while doing the other while a fawning media never points out the hypocrisy.

She’s a Obamaland kind of woman. :)

Sez the Post:

"If he were to run, Cruz's core support would come a from conservative base fed up with Washington, which could care less what Collins, Flake or most other Republican senators think."

And they're absolutely right, which I put in the "Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then" category...
