Rep. Peter King: Sen. Ted Cruz tapped into ‘dark strain in the American political psyche’
Washington Times ^ | 9/26/13 | By Seth McLaughlin

Rep. Peter T. King said Thursday that Sen. Ted Cruz is a “false leader” who is peddling a “false bill of goods” in the debate over defunding Obamacare and said Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, has tapped into a “dark strain in the American political psyche.”

-snip-

“I don’t think it is possible to heal tensions with Ted Cruz,” Mr. King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Hey King....spend some money and buy your second IQ point.

While waiting, shove your silly speeches up your septic Obamahole.

We’ve had it with RINOs and dim-bulb-crats.

I think King is a little too self absorbed.
Cruz is a strong man and I like him.

LIGHT VS DARKNESS: John 3:19-21

19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Gee. Isn't it weird how MSNBC has been so interested in what Republicans think lately?

Hey, Pete, did you get a chance to explain your own thoughts on obamacare in general? High taxes? UN arms treaties? Ben Ghazi? Syria? Anything other than Ted Cruz?

Homework assignment for Republicans invited to speak on MSNBC: Google "useful idiot".

The Republicans have a new leader. Some Republicans know it, and some don’t. Rep King is one that knows it and is not willing to give up power.

King is not garnering any favor among the average Republican/Conservative voter. I suspect is days in the Congress are numbered. I hope!!

It’s easy to think that Obamacare is no big deal WHEN YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM IT!!!

The reason I say that is that he seems intent on doing whatever he has to do without regard to either the party or, quite frankly, to the Senate.

Uh...that is what he is supposed to do...the 'will of the people.' Read what he said carefully, "he seems intent on doing whatever he has to do ," not wants to do like the rest of the government, what he HAS to do.

God Bless Ted Cruz and keep him strong and safe.

There are two problems that King and too many other Republicans have:

1.) The intellect to make a cogent argument against progressive policy and for conservative policy.

2.) The testicular fortitude to fight against progressives.

The battle is already lost when they are not willing to fight.

If there is a “dark strain in the American political psyche”, it was created by RINOs and Bolshecrats who know better than the American people.

This a-hole is your typical New Yorker, a big mouth and pansy-ass attitude. Ever hear this moron talk? He runs his mouth a mile a minute and sounds as if he’s got a mouth full of mud. I can barely understand half of what he’s saying.
