Ted Cruz says the Republican leadership in both the House and Senate had planned all along on losing this illegal immigration fight to Obama and the Democrats, suggesting this ‘fight’ was nothing more than kabuki theater and that Republicans were never serious about it:
HUFFINGTON POST – Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) charged Tuesday that Republican leaders in Congress had planned all along to capitulate in their battle to defund President Barack Obama’s immigration actions.
Cruz’s remarks came soon after House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) decided to bring up a “clean” bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, backing down from the effort to use department funding to strip authority for Obama’s executive actions.
“Unfortunately, leadership’s plan was never to win this fight,” Cruz told reporters Tuesday.
“Since December, the outcome has been baked in the cake. It was abundantly clear to anyone watching that leadership in both houses intended to capitulate on the fight against amnesty,” Cruz said, adding, “It was a strategy doomed to failure. It’s an old adage in Washington: Never take a hostage you’re not prepared to shoot.”

That’s always their plan.
Correct.
The EXEMPT GOP has proven itself to be the party
of LIARS, FRAUDS, ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE, global warming,
antilightbulbs, and COWARDICE.
No doubt, and I further wouldn’t be surprised that they planned to do it exactly on the same day as
Bibi’s speech, and that’s why he was invited.
These people are slithering snakes in the grass.
yep
But Cruz, if you don’t support the GOP leadership, then you must be supporting the Rats leadership. /FRino logic.

"That clinging orange GOP fool gladly licked our toilet clean, again."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
Murdoch , king of the cheap labor lobby has shut them all up !
Of course is was. The boneless one even timed it so Bibi’s speech would distract everyone.
No doubt at all that Ted Cruz is right.
Bonehead has to go!
Yeah, he’s right.
Same script the GOPe followed with the “fights” over raising the debt limit.
exactly what I assumed.
They Needed the diversion and Pelosi and The Kenyan Muslim played along
I HATE getting played by these people.
They had really hoped to slip amnesty through last summer but we upset their apple cart by throwing Eric Cantor out.
The GOP wanted it out of the way for Jebster.
They don’t mind Owebowmao doing the amnesty as long as it gets done. They just wanted to look like they tried.
It’s betrayal of the citizens.
GOP-RIP
Hey Y'all! Here's an idea! Let's Us All Get Together And Each Send Knee Pads To BoneHead & TurtleHead To Be Used By Them When Bowing To 0bozo's latest Whims!!
Since They're Gonna get On Their Knees For Him Anyway The Least We Can Do Is Help Them Out A Bit!!
What Say Ye?.....
Anybody who says we must vote for a RINO because it’s the lesser of two evils is trying to figuratively manipulate you into taking a loaded revolver that is in their hands, then persuade you to put it to your head, and then pull the trigger when you vote for their RINO candidate. Don’t commit political suicide by continuing to vote for RINOS! Hello???
Yep.
I believe that this strategy has been in place roughly since about the time the Cromnibus surrender was passed, and the DHS funding strategy, which would obviously fail, was settled on.
I believe that Bibi was invited to speak roughly at about that exact same time, and I do not have any doubt that they purposely planned to use his speech as cover for their traitorous actions.
The whole lot of them is nothing but a bunch of conniving schemers.
Absolutely! Why have a RINO, when you can have a full fledged Marxist!
They’ll lose both majorities soon and probably never get them back.
