Ted Cruze is blaming Reid for holding the American People hostage

To a small faction, Cruz is a hero. His donated fund has expanded. He has five more years at least to find a new way to become a force for disruption. I wouldn't count him out, yet.

The damage done to the economy by this minority Tea Party led by this dictatorial profound right-winger, Ted Cruz, provokes revulsion in me. The despot's stranglehold on the Republican Party where 22 members voted to ALLOW the government to default was OBSCENE!!!!!!!

Perhaps one of the reason these creeps will not look directly into another's eyes is because they're afraid of the intense hatred for themselves they will find there.

The Dems' ads in 2014 should feature prominently EVERY NAME OF THE REPUBLICAN WHO VOTED TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT!

Oh I have not counted Ted Cruz out yet, not as long as the tea party exist and he is the face of same. According to the NYTimes this morning, as you say, Cruz is quite popular still in Texas. One must understand that opposition to this president is deeply embedded as one is fighting against the southern culture of DNA regarding the "other."

Some cancers can easily be gotten rid of, but if its hits in certain parts of the body, it might metastasize reaching stage 4. Ted Cruz is the cancer within the Republican Party and this disease has weakened the GOP; whether the GOP can do anything about it or are strong enough to remains to be seen.

@Moment-in-Time,

Jim DiMint of South Carolina is quoted: "If we're able to stop Obama on this [Affordable Health Care Act], it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."

Representative joe wilson Yells Out "You Lie!" during Obama Health care speech to congress at the time of the State Of The Union.

Newt Gingrich was "Slammed For Saying Obama May Hold 'Kenyan, Anti-Colonial' Worldview."

All these men are from the deep south and harbor strong feelings against this particular president that he, Barack Obama, had the audacity to become president of the highest office in the land, the US.

These same feelings are felt throughout the US (by whites) but are more nuanced. We, whether we like it or not, are facing a new demographic and the face of the American voter is changing, All minorities, those who never dreamed they could possibly reach such heights, now can dream of becoming president because the glass ceiling has been shattered. We might even see a Chinese-American president one day, but first we must have a woman (Hillary Clinton) and after her, probably a long line of Latinos.

@Moment-in-Time,

The biggest problem with the republican party is the simple fact that they really don't have a 'leader.' Ted Cruz is not a leader, he's a rabble-rouser for the crazies. Anyone who believes destroying our economy is worth their fight to destroy ObamaCare really belongs in an institution, and not in our politics.

How crazies like Cruz can become a hero shows how broken our country is.

you dont understand what just happened, it was a going on the record about how much they oppose ObamaCare so that when it turns out to be a disaster they can say "we told you so", and it was a prelude to the real fight, which is over the budget. now the R's can credibly say to the D's "we just cant control these lunatic Tea Partiers, if we dont want the nations credit wrecked they have to get something. Sorry!"

CI, you are cracking me up! Your statement is spot on!!! Obamacare is the Law of the Land, and to shut down the government and vote deliberately to default on the US debt is sheer madness! Cruz is a classical case of abnormal psychopathic behavior.

There are impressionable greedy frighten people among us. These Republican types are fodder for strong dictatorial types like Cruz; these lusterless reps are considered as readily available and of little value to society in general.

@hawkeye10,

Can you try to make "common" sense at least a few times?

ObamaCare is already the LAW OF THE LAND, approved by congress, the president, and SCOTUS.

It's legal tender in the US. Trying to destroy what's already law needs to be done in the same way; by congress, the president, and the approval from SCOTUS.

You don't even understand simple civics.

Where did you learn your ignorance?

Only crazies keep banging their heads against the wall. The House Republicans have attempted 41 times to repeal ObamaCare. They should already understand as legislators that it requires the Senate and President Obama to okay a repeal of ObamaCare.

Do you really believe they're going to repeal ObamaCare? Really?

You are as stupid as the Tea Party; the No Nothings.

as respected journalist Michael Hirsh pointed out in the piece I posted last page the Tea Party is winning.

no, and i dont think they thought they would, it is all foreplay for the real battle over the budget.

So, you believe that's okay? That he doesn't care about the whole country?
That he's responsible for the weariness of companies and individuals who really don't know what to expect, so they cut back on hiring and spending?
The the economy lost $18 billion from this recent shutdown is okay with you?

You are an idiot!

I'm putting you on Ignore. You're a waste of time.

absolutely. our major problem is that we send people to washington who do not attempt to fight for the people, they get corrupted and play their petty political games. a guy who says "i dont give a **** about all that, I am going to fight for what the people who sent me here want" is refreshing. It is also how the system was designed to work, and I for one could certainly deal with Washington working better.

of course, because you cant deal with points of view or truth that dont align with your opinion's. then we get to listen to you yak about how so many people are just" CRAZY!" to your mind because you cant begin to fathom them. Well go figure, you purposefully close your mind then wonder why so much of reality seems so nuts to you. Had you instead chosen to watch and listen to other people you might have been smart enough to begin to understand what is going on.

You're the one who can't do that. This is what CI said.

He's given you the answer, you can't deal with the truth of that answer. You're not the radical thinker you like to think you are. Most of your posts are a mixture of ignorance, half truths and bullshit.

REPTILES always love other COLD-BLOODED SNAKES, at least during mating time; hence, those people who adore Cruz think and act like him and are in the same pit as he.

D's and the Professor are peacocking around, and " journalists" are writing odes to them, but the problem has not been solved even a little bit.

The problem hasn't been solved because one side refuses to compromise at all while the other side has already compromised.
