” It established in the minds of the American public that the GOP is firmly on the side of Obamacare Repeal.”
Are you kidding?!?!
No less than the 2008 Presidential Candidate has excoriated Cruz - have you forgotten he called Cruz a “whacko bird”??
One after another chicken-shite GOP partisan lined up to apply similar descriptions to the defund-repeal effort, and the media was more than happy to deliver that message (”GOP in disarray...” to the masses.
No, it’s not the GOP that will be remembered as firmly on the side of Obamacare repeal...it’s Ted Cruz and the Conservative minority. The ones who had the guts to stand up and say it before it was fashionable to do so.
No I'm not although I agree with most of your post. Unfortunately the MSM owns the Ted Cruz Image. They have a virtual copyright on it. So Cruz will get less credit than he deserves as will Lee.
The people will, I believe, recognize that the House stood firmly on the Recall Principle while the Dems universally were against it. That is the key to 2014.
The Senate. With two notable exceptions I have no idea where they stand.
