Meanwhile: Romney warns threat to shut down government not ‘effective’

...."I think there's a better way of getting rid of ObamaCare — my own view — and that is, one, delaying it by at least a year,” Romney said. “That was Senator (Joe) Manchin's idea, the Democrats' idea.”.....

Only an observation....but if Cruz can step across the line and generate his own ‘caucus’ in the House...then McCain and the dozen other ‘French Republicans’ can basically retire or resign.

Cruz is proving on a dozen levels the bogus nature that the Obama-crowd talked up about the President’s way to work deals and arrange compromises as he learned as a Senator. The President has no such skills. If Cruz works the House in some fashion....I’d say he just proved he’s way ahead of the crowd and ready for the Presidency already.

If the conservatives/Cruz are thwarted by the Republican establishment such that no significant change to ObamaCare implementation (defund or delay) it is either the end of the RHINOs or the endd of the party. Obamacare itself may take care of the democrats.

Would that Sarah Palin was in the House to speak up for the will of the Tea Party. We must rally to support the Tea Party in the House—Stand with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee! Let us support those who are giving their all for Freedom!

Cruz takes the GOPe to leadership school but they won’t lead, can’t follow, and thrive on getting in the way.

Cruz is setting the standard, raising the bar far above self service, making integrity, honesty, boldness, character and sacrifice, once again the principles of leadership, he is quickly gaining the respect, confidence and loyalty from all those who wish to once again see a free republic.

Cruz is doing his job.

This article reads like he is breaking some sort of rules.

Of course he is speaking to Conservatives, that is what you do when you form a coalition.

Cruz is leading—and that is something Boehner and Mitch McConnell do not know how to do.

If Senate conservative Republicans HAVEN’T been working with House conservative Republicans all along, then this is a sad commentary on the conservative leadership in both houses.

Conservatives “plot”, Liberals “solve”.

Ah! We see Romney is STILL preferring to do things the Dim way! Nothing's changed with this guy.

Meanwhile, Ted continues to step over the RINO road blocks, to lead the way.

Go Cruz!!

Those who say to delay it, and believe me I want it delayed if that’s all we can have, expect us to believe that the Communist Dems will agree to delay it, therefore they won’t shut down the government.

Hello?

Hate to borrow from Hillary, but to the Communist Dems, what difference does it make? As between defund permanently or delay a year, they choose NEITHER.

In order to achieve delay, the same process would need to be followed as in order to achieve defund. And a shutdown would loom when the Communist Dems refuse to delay it.

Am I missing something?

Well, maybe I’m only missing the fact that Senate craven RINOS wouldn’t stand up for a delay, either.

FUMR.

The best way to get rid of ZeroCare is to let it be a flaming debacle while kicking and screaming the warnings. Then win in 2014 and replace it in its entirety watching Zero veto every provision. That will elect a conservative President to finish the job.

These RINOs need to take a tour of the Reagan ranch and get inspired. They are so yellow I could spread ‘em on my hot dogs.

“Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday appeared to confirm that he plotted with House conservatives to prevent Republican leadership from shifting strategy in the government shutdown fight. “

He’s one of the few who recognize that there is a difference between “conservatives” and “Republican leadership”. This is why they will do their best to crucify him if he runs for POTUS.

I also hope Ted Cruz is talking to Tom DeLay.
