Ted Cruz Smacks Down Candy Crowley for Saying 'It's Blackmail' to Offer Separate Funding Bills
Newsbusters ^ | October 6, 2013

CRUZ: But Candy, let me press back. It's twice you've said Harry Reid would say it's blackmail. And I want to press back, because I actually -- I think that's a false claim with no basis. The bill that the House passed on the VA simply funds the VA. It doesn't mention anything about Obamacare. It doesn't mention anything about anything else. Now, for hundreds of years, the way Congress is appropriated has been one topic at a time. How is it blackmail to say we think we should fund the veterans? Do you agree? That's a yes or no vote. Now Harry Reid refuses to let the Democrats vote on that. But how is it blackmail to say, we may not agree on everything but is there anything we can agree on? We ought to agree on supporting our veterans.

I’ve said it before, but it never ceases to amaze me how Candy Crowley has managed to last this long as an analyst.

Here is your answer courtesy of RUSH. Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.

Yes we can dream. But don't post those dreams. The dems will want to tax our dreams in advance of them coming true. Just in case those dreams result in making us all more prosperous.

Not a Romney Fan, but I hate the way Obama keeps getting bailed out by the media and gets kid gloves treatment from the GOPE. I really didn't think it was possible for the Repubs to ever win again against the Dems because they didn't want to fight, and were content to be the permanent political minority.

Now there are some in the GOP who would be fine with constantly losing, McCain, Bohener and McConnel, come to mind, but guys like Cruz, Lee and Paul don't seem content to screw around and they act like they want to win. I never thought I would say this, but I really think we're winning the battle against Obama. If Cruz keeps this up he could be in the WH come 2016. We can only hope!

Candy Crowley is not a journalist, she is a propagandist. She has no curiosity to pursue a story. The woman is singularly devoted to promoting oppressive government.

And she looks really awful doing it.

For sure put me on the ping list. Cruz is my Senator and had a chance to meet him before the election. He was a crowd pleaser.

It's kinda' small of us to pick on Candy's physical shortcomings, particularly when there's plenty of ammo sitting above her shoulders.

On the other hand, this is TV.

Obie and the media get away unquestioned because of the bigotry of low expectations. Obie can't be picked on because of race. Media can't be the ones to do it.

That will change. Barring another "nice-looking, intelligent black who speaks without a dialect", it ends with the campaign for '16, which starts shortly. If Dems find one, they'll be forced to use another race based dancecard. Cory Booker ? No. Deval Patrick ? No. Jesse Jackson, Jr. ? Ha. Maybe an attractive hispanic can fill the race dancecard this time...one of the Castro bros from Bexar county.

Be ready for it, 'cause Hillary will have support as the first woman, but she's got issues, including old age.

“exactly who indoctrinated the press...and when.”

What you see w the MSM is simply modern liberalism in action. Once a person buys the basic premise of modern liberalism, they no longer actually ‘think’ about anything. They simply reject anything & everything that is traditional and conservative & plow ahead w the ironclad assumption that liberalism will right all the historical wrongs ever perpetrated on earth. Evan Sayet explains it all in this priceless video:

I’ll bet Cruz’ staff has to plead to get on these democrat shows.

how can anyone think it’s a surprise she has a job after the debate? She was colluding with BO and did her job well.

Se gets compensation for this, I don’t doubt.

And I wonder haw anyone can think she is any worse or any more unattractive than anyone else on the democrat media.

And Ted Cruz is just getting used to them. I’ll bet they hate to have him on, one, because he’s honest and doesn’t accept their premises, pressing back, and, two, they don’t want him getting good at this.

‘She ends with the insult, “do think you have hurt the Republican Party brand?” ‘

She ended there, but the clip ends with him laughing at that question. He is sincerely amused.

In spite of fierce competition from Eleanor Clift and Susan Estrich, Candy wins the prize for best Democrat cheer leader.
