If we had just half a dozen more like him on Capitol Hill, the entire left would fold like a wet blanket.

I agree.

is there a Ted Cruz historian out there?

He was Texas Solicitor General, but other than that, I don't care what he did before becoming a U.S. Senator. He's making all the history I care about, right now.

Yes, this may be problematic, but hell, the Rats had Mr. President $hithead for two terms, let’s do the same for Cruz and then back off to the Constitution when his term is over. Eye for an eye.

Thanks SoConPubbie. Zero knows he's lost, but it will be a while before he'll be able to climb down off his overgrown unwarranted self-esteem. I suggest not giving Zero an 'out', drag his ass through the mud and feces he's been flinging at all of us his entire (chronologically) adult life.

...he told Obama that all sides need to "provide substantial relief to the millions of people who are hurting because of Obamacare, who are losing their jobs, being forced into part-time work and losing their health insurance." Cruz said he told the president that a deal to reopen the government must also provide relief for those affected by the Affordable Care Act... Cruz said Friday he's happy there are finally discussions being held. "That is an improvement... There was an awful lot of talk, but then, at the end of the day, the president still said he wouldn't negotiate." ...he denied Friday he's responsible for the government shutdown, instead blaming Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "I opposed the shutdown from Day One... I think it was wrong that President Obama and Harry Reid forced the shutdown," Cruz told reporters. "They forced the shutdown because they wouldn’t compromise on Obamacare."

Hey SoCon, add me to the list please! Guess it makes no
sense to be on the Sarah Palin Ping list if I’m not on the
awesome Ted Cruz one! LOL.

P.S. His tweets are great for FReepers on Twitter. He’s a
seriously funny guy!

Cruz has message and thus strAtegy, the GOPe is full of it. Surrender is not strategy.

[Cvengr]

Must be his doppelganger.

Hmmm, did Reggie Love go with him or meet him there? The man in the White Hut has tensions, you know?/s And needs someone to help “ease” that tension. The man in the White Hut had better remember what happened to Marie Antoinette and her husband. The only positive thing about his trip to Hawaii, if you can call playing while Rome burns a positive thing, is that we know what playground he's occupying, and who he's probably “playing” with. The time of reckoning will come, and we will not forget.

Instead he told Obama that all sides need to "provide substantial relief to the millions of people who are hurting because of Obamacare, who are losing their jobs, being forced into part-time work and losing their health insurance."

Outstanding. How can anyone not love this man? I am so impressed.

Classic movie reminder. Scary thought.

The Boa of tyranny is strangling our Constitution, and we’ll have to cut it’s head off to get it back.
