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.

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

Fat chance!

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

Does that mean there are sharks off Long Island that he's decided to jump?

Peter King doesn’t want Conservatives to vote Republican. Ok. See how you win without us.

I guess that his name makes him king of the dick...

Not yet.
For the moment he's just "King Dick."

Signaling a new level of Dem/RINO desperation.

For once, Peter King is right.

Ron Paul and Ted Cruz are libertarians, which is exactly what is needed in this environment and why they are enjoying so much success and fear from their opponents.

At least those in New York can be proud that they have a R that is just as bad as McCain.

NY is this years AZ.

There are no RINO’s, there are no democrats.
It’s just communists, socialists, and conservatives. The
republican party is in on it with the commie/democrats in
ruling against the will of the people. The republicans
are the false opposition branch of the democrat party. That’s
why they couldn’t get anything done but further the march
to communism when they were in power.

I'm really more concerned about why more Republicans around the country didn't join me in denouncing Ted Cruz.

Yeah Pete, why do you think that is???

Cruz and Lee are the true patriots, you know the type of guys who will say what needs to be said when it needs to be said. Without them the Oct 1 rollout of Obamacare would have been a celebration akin to V-J Day.

We cannot allow our party to be taken over by the likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. I mean, these are people, isolationists, I consider them RINOs, because they don't represent traditional Republican principles.

He is right. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Gov. LePage really are RINOs and they should wear the badge proudly.

This is no longer our party. It's time to start a 3rd party and leave it. Like it or not, they (McCain and Peter King and Linda Graham) are today's republicans and the reason why I am not a republican. Today's republican party is the democrat party of the Clinton era.

Exactly! And the GOP does not deserve them. You know, if Reagan were in politics today he would also be called a RINO by this man. It's time for a THIRD party.

If the brave men at the Alamo, both whites and Mexicans, had decided it was a losing battle and surrendered immediately, there would be no Texas. The battle stopped Santa Ana’s army for 13 days. Otherwise he would have continued to move north and wiped out Houston before he got a chance to train an army. I doubt they would have made it to San Jacinto.

But Travis, 26 years old, and Bowie and the others knew when something was worth standing for. They didn’t surrender even thought they knew would lose. They hoped for reinforcements that never came. Cruz hoped for re-inforcements that not only never came, but joined the other side.

Obviously King does not know the definition of a RINO. For that he could just look at John McCain. Well, I think a new word should be coined for Juan but I haven’t come up with one yet.
