REP. PETER KING (R-NY): Andrea, this is the strategy of Ted Cruz and going back to mid-September, I said that Ted Cruz was a fraud, that there was a dead-end to this policy and it made no sense to follow it. John Boehner also told us in early September that it would be the wrong thing to do to shut down the government in an attempt to defund Obamacare. Unfortunately, we have three or four dozen Republicans in the House, Cruz Republicans, who basically threatened to bring the House down if John Boehner did not pursue this policy. John knew it was not doing to work, but he felt he had no choice. I understand his position.

Maybe you’re right, Peter. The conservatives perhaps should be called RINOs... that, of course, until they found their OWN party.

I suppose he’s right in the narrow sense that conservatives aren’t “real Republicans” so the logic would then suggest that real conservatives should run under their own banner and let the Republican Party die a natural death as a sort of halfway house for socialist-Democrats.

Why bother having a “sort of Democrat” party when there’s already a Democratic Party with all the bells and whistles of big government socialism?

Might as well pull the plug on that and run candidates under a Conservative Party banner, and make sure it really is conservative and not CINO (the Canadian or UK version of RINO).

Looks like Peter King is taking a lesson from his master, Nero.

Projection is thy Name Peter...

King is being dishonest. He harbors the desire to run for president in 2016, even though his chances as a Congressman are nil. It’s his ego that’s getting in the way as he stakes out the “moderate” ground and paints Cruz & Paul as “extremists.” All this mock outrage is just political theater. Traitor.

And if King can’t be POTUS, he wants to succeed Whiner as House Speaker.

“We cannot allow our party to be taken over by the likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.”

I wholeheartedly agree! They should both leave the gop wing of the uniparty and start or join a different political party. I think they’d be happier to leave Rep. King with the stinking corpse of the gop.

He had a plan you moron, but you were too freaking stupid to figure it out.

It is what every good prosecutor does when he has a number of witnesses who refuse to budge. They turn the heat up. And they keep turning it up until they turn on each other.

Please Pete. Go away. Just STHU and go away.

And we have to cut this guy off now.

There is the money quote. Destroy Ted Cruz before he destroys us.

Peter King becomes John McCain minus the purported military "credentials." Wonderful, innit?

I think he went off the deep end of a pier somewhere down there in Long Island.

“Peter King,” sounds like the name of a bouncer in a gay bar!
