Funny. Where is Juan McLame and Linda Graham on this issue? They are usually first to get to the cameras. Rove was just out-maneuvered by a better man than him. I saw Cruz’ interaction with Dingy Harry and thought Cruz had the tactics and arguments well laid out. With all the dirty parliamentary effluence used to PASS ObamaCare, I hope Cruz can use Harry’s rules jujitsu-style. The GOPe never misses and opportunity to miss an opportunity.
I like it!
Just wait until 2016 when Krauthammer, Kristol, Rove et al try to stick the GOP with someone like Jeb Bush. The TEA Party will stay home, and Hillary will be picking over the milquetoast remains of what is left of the Stupid Party.
When 70% of US citizens are praying for deliverance from ObamaCare, the Stupid Party wants to savage Cruz and Lee for their support for the wishes of the people over the grasp of Big Government. These pundits and pols are NOT conservatives and should be deposed from their phony perches in the movement.
Excellent article by Erick. The last sentence sums it up well.
Cornyn is getting savaged on FB for claiming he'll vote against Obamacare funding while playing the games. Cornyn is up for reelection next year.
ObamaCare is about keeping jobs in the medical field, and has nothing to do with Services (at this point). Education, Police/Fire/Security, and the Medical fields are the largest employers in the United States today. If the poor economy tanks, and insurance does not basically pay the salaries of employees, then the medical profession will lose jobs, and cycle continues. Central Planners, aka, socialists wet dream is ensuring a continuous stream of service sector jobs paid for by other employees. I am not a fan of Obamacare but at least see it for what it is, just as Obama “saved” the Automobile Industry, this is the same type of structured Bailout. Instead of Government buying the debt, it is being bailed out by Insurance Companies (The largest buildings in American both Banking or Insurance). It makes sense to structure the economy to keep 20% of the jobs. Again, I hate OC but it’s the economy that the democrats (and republicans) are tying to save - Why don’t they just say this?
Many will find their premiums increased and many will find out they no longer have health insurance. Their cries should be long and loud in the halls of congress and to those Democrats responsible.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
Does not Rove’s admission that the attempt to sandbag Cruz by republicans prove the need for Cruz to go around the Republican beltway crowd?
