FRiends, I've been seeing this all over the internet... the administration and their fellow rats have issued their talking points. Cruz (and Paul) are rogue EGOtists that are only doing what they are doing for their own fame and glory. They are giving no thought to what is best for the country, only trying to make names for themselves and obtain power. That meme is also being promoted at the DUmp. Head up, Patriots!

I’ve seen the word “ego” used relentlessly against Cruz.

Repeat a lie often enough...

It's called "leadership," a word that is not in the ruling-class elite GOPe's vocabulary.

Yeah, Dana Milbank is so worried about the GOP and the damage Ted Cruz is doing. It wouldn’t surprise me if the GOPe is behind these attacks.

More RAT projection.

The simple fact of the matter is that Barak Hussein Obama’s EGO TRIP carries a terrible cost. Lives of our military, millions of Americans out of work, the economy is a shambles and our National Security is at risk like never before.

The question is simple. Can WE allow Obama and his Marixist Regime to continue, unabated or have we had enough of this junior grade Tyrant?

The “catastrophe” has already happened, Milbank. It is named Obama. Why don’t you write about that?

One man with courage, Cruz, is trying to do something about the catastrophe and you worry about ego. Fool.

Yep. This is now the talking points from all DC Elites.

Thank you Ted Cruz for once again exposing the RINO’s.
It was amazing to see and read what one brave conservative could do.

1) Cause the senate to change the voting rules, so that the voting was not transparent, done like a thief in the night.

2) Had the RINO’s in shear panic for 45 minutes trying to decide who the
sucker would be that cast that 60th vote.

3) Caused the RINO’s to lie about what they really voted for.

Amazing what one brave conservative did.

His actions suggest Cruz has put himself before his party and even the nation’s solvency.

No Milbank, he's put himself before party members who've become little more than democrats.

The only cost was further exposing who Cruz wants the voters to get rid of, and replace with solid conservatives. We’re happy to oblige.

this vote would have left little chance of avoiding default on Feb. 27, when the Treasury was to run out of funds.

Dumb ass. The Treasury is already out of funds. We are over 17 TRILLION dollars in debt and and have been living on borrowed money for a very long time. Money we can never payback. Money that everyone in the world knows we can never pay back. Soon America will be done. We will be owned and run by others.

Anyone who takes a stand against deficit spending and/or debt is a target for smears and dehumanization by the nedia.
They’ve been pushing the ‘Cruz just a selfish egomaniac’ meme since October.

The media’s fiscal books cry out for that government supplied consumer spending.

It’s a good thing obama doesn’t have a big ego! Then we’d have real problems.

The Greatest Danger is from the Liberals and RINOs who are determined to take the whole country down the road to the Detroit destination.

… a failure of this vote would have left little chance of avoiding default …

When are the Republicans going to call the Democrats out on this lie? Even without an increase in the debt ceiling there is enough income for the Federal Government to service its debt. What would have to happen is that other spending would have to be reduced to match income.

Since paying our debts is Constitutionally mandated the President would be required to pay these first, then, absent any adjustments to the budget by Congress, would have to prioritize the remaining spending. This is no different than what every family must do from time to time: pay the mortgage first and then turn to the kids and say, "sorry, I know that I promised but you cannot go to summer camp this year".

Live within our means. Don’t bankrupt our grandchildren. Adhere to the Constitution. Cut taxes and regulations to spur the economy and let people keep more of their own money. Yep, Cruz is definitely on an ego trip. /s

The Dems are clearly trying to stir up trouble setting Republicans against each other, hoping that will result in so much infighting, that the Dems will manage to keep the Senate.

From the article: “His actions suggest Cruz has put himself before his party and even the nation’s solvency. “


The nation’s solvency is not solved by debt any more than your household’s solvency is solved by a new loan from your Capitol One card or Guido in the alley.

And Cruz should put “his” PARTY first??? Cruz should, as he does, put his freaking CONSTITUTION first. The PARTY is nothing but a bunch of gelded power and money breastfeeders. The USA and his constituents are the only important things a congressperson needs to worry about. His party, sheesh.
