We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything that they say we are, we are
And we are very proud of ourselves

It is because of the likes David Brooks and his phony, elitist fellow travellers that we desparately need Ted Cruz and more like him.

"They want to stop things. And so they’re just being — they just want to obstruct.”

LMBO!!
Another Democrat scumbag is concerned that a Republican is trying to "obstruct" the progress of the communist agenda.
Oh, heaven forfend!

“And Ted Cruz . . . doesn’t have an idea that he’s going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation . . . They’re not normal members of Congress. They’re not legislators. They want to stop things. And so they’re just being — they just want to obstruct.”

Oh, dear! Cruz isn't there to expand the size of government? How could any sensible person support him?

“This is a damn outrage,” in reaction to Bennett losing.

So, now we’re having a big debate about Syria, which is derailing immigration and everything else he wants to do, when his whole policy was to get out of the Middle East.

Brooks and Shields thought there would be an AWB by now.

I sure am getting tired of Brooks and his incessant bullshit.

The House Republican Tea Party types are running against the Republican establishment.

You gotta give it to Dave, he's a deep thinker, isn't he? Yeah, Dave, they are, and this is the reason:

[Cruz] doesn’t have an idea that he’s going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation.

Bingo. Because we don't want a "lot of legislation" passed, Dave, the country and our society are being choked to death with regulation. It isn't a matter of which flavor of bigger government we get. We don't want it at all. What we want is a smaller, less ubiquitous government that taxes us less. What we want is a less racist, redistributive, and oppressive government. What we want is our freedom back.

Dave, he just doesn't get it.

“Ted Cruz is running against Republicans in the Senate. The House Republican Tea Party types are running against the Republican establishment. That’s how they’re raising money. That’s where they’re spending their money on ads. And so they’re having a very obstructive role which is going on this week, and I think it’s going to make John Boehner’s life even more difficult.”

"Yes! Yes! David speaks the truth! He's speaking the words that come from my heart! It's so hard, it's so hard!"

I was fortunate to live in Texas during his election and am proud I sent him to the Senate.

Mr. Brooks can pound sand.

I’ve been saying since early 2010 that the “tea party” is a hostile takeover of the Republican Party— a takeover long overdue.

warned that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and similar legislators’ rise to prominence threatens the traditional Republican Party.

Thank God!
The Entrenched Republican Party is nothing more then Democrat lite...

David Brooks inadvertently makes the case for conservatives to support Ted Cruz and any Republican that bucks the GOP establishment. A political party that has betrayed conservative principles and supported officeholders that have blatantly ignored the wishes of constituents. As America, like a runaway train, races toward a socialist abyss, people like Ted Cruz are standing in the way and trying to divert it. Brooks' disdain of Ted Cruz actually validates the effectiveness of the Tea Party politicians who are trying to turn the tide and pull the GOP back to First Principles. I hope David Brooks is even more upset with the GOP in the near future.

Shouldn’t Brooks be sniffing obama’s pant-leg, or whatever the heck he does with his free time?

... they just want to obstruct.

Brooks just makes up accusations as he sees fit.

So Dave, I take it you don’t care for the crease in Ted Cruz’s pants?

Brooks insists the motives of Cruz are less about legislation and policy and more about the politics of undermining the Republican establishment.

Hey Dave, it called a pendulum. And it's about finished the swing in your direction. I'd suggest you get used to this. We ARE taking OUR country back!
