Norquist Slams Cruz: He Has No Plan on Shutdown
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 03 Oct 2013 03:27 PM | Jim Meyers and John Bachman

Sen. Ted Cruz has “no plan, no strategy” for resolving the conflict over Obamacare and the government shutdown—and should apologize to the Republicans he misled, low-tax crusader Grover Norquist tells Newsmax.

And Republicans are now “weaker” as a result of Cruz’s actions, the party strategist says.

But he believes Democrats may be willing to delay implementation of the healthcare reform act for a year so that its shortcomings won’t become evident before the November 2014 election. …

The Norquist solution is to kneel down and kiss the posteriors of his crony corporate masters.

Cruz’s plan ended over a week ago when the Senate quislings voted with the Democrats. This current thing is not Cruz, it’s the House leadership. Cruz is backing them because something is better than nothing. Cruz’s plan was to defund Obamacare, which is not even on the table.

Grover Al Norquist is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Are you sure? I thought he was a troll in conservatives clothing.

Who gives a flippin’ crap? He split the GOP caucus, conservatives on one side, RINO’s on the other. They can pick their sides, and the RINO’s get primaried, then the Dems get pummeled.

Obamacare is going to piss alot of people off, people ripe for the picking at the polls.

Mr. Norquist represents the views of maybe, at the most, 1% of registered Republicans. He is a legend in his own mind and a useful idiot for the Mainstream Media.

the rats appear. Go Cruz.

I’m going to refer to him as Rover Norquist because of the way he and the other establishment Repukes just roll over like dogs for their Democratic Party masters.

Grover Norquist is married to a muslim. He is the founder of The ‘Islamic Institute’. He is a main agenda setter, lobbyist, policy maker and overall heavy hitter for the muslim terrorist front group, C.A.I.R. that is based here on our American soil. He is a slithering snake spreading his islamic poison. (On the ‘good’ side tho.....he is also a long time National Rifle Association board member.) Now that is nice huh??!!

Cruz’s plan was the filibuster. After that, he has no plan to get the nation out of this mess.

You apparently have either had your head in the ground this whole time or are purposefully lying about Senator Cruz.

Cruz's plan was always for the House to defund Obamacare because constitutionally, they are the ones responsible for funding the government.

He did what he could in the Senate to get the GOP to do the right thing and not vote for cloture, sadly, we have too many liars, cowards, and traitors in our midst in the Senate to accomplish that.

So, either get informed, or quit lying.

Choose a side, you're either with us, or against us!

Cruz

1) Delayed voting in the Senate to keep pressure off the House
2) Has the Rats panicked
3) Has Conservatives fullly charged and ready to rumble
4) Exposed the Rat infested GOPe
5) Whacked the WH Clown like a piñata

His plan is freedom. No explanation needed.
