Allahpundit over on hotair agrees with Ted. Here is his take:

“this surrender was inevitable — and designed to be so once GOP leaders settled on DHS funding as their alleged “pressure point” in the cromnibus in December. Remember, Boehner and McConnell took office in January determined to show voters that Republicans could be trusted to govern responsibly, i.e. with no more shutdowns or debt-ceiling standoffs. They chose DHS’s money as their leverage on amnesty not because they thought it would make Obama blink but because they knew it’d be easier to sell an eventual capitulation on that money to conservatives. “We can’t withhold the funding!” they could say. “ISIS will overrun Washington!”

Those majorities do not matter.

They are simply an illusion. it doesn’t matter which party is in charge, because government is in charge, and both parties comprise government.

There is literally zero difference between a GOP majority and a democrat majority.

The only thing that matters is that the government agenda advances, just as it did today, and that the public stays fooled long enough for them to continue.

They’ll lose both majorities soon and probably never get them back

But that is just it. The Dems are outright communists and are intolerable. The GOP plays footsie with them and I get so mad I want to punish them by letting them lose.

Then the Dems shove all their programs down our throats. It stinks.

Sadly its obvious that Obama, Reid and Pelosi were all in on this diversion tactic and played there roles.

Bibi was used and probably not happy about it.

Don’ t you recall that the news leaked out by accident that Bonehead told the Kenyan Muslim about Bibi ahead of time .

But the story died and Bonehead never said a thing to support that fact ! The Dem media and the Communist Dem party watch the greedy K street traitors cut their parties and citizen future / wrists and enjoyed it.

“No more shutdowns” was their and the marxmedias delusion. Cruz shut it down, and the pubs took it in the ass. So much so, that the pubs won the greatest majority in congress in recent history. Shut the whole stinking thing down and await the reward. Idiots.

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.

And, even further, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama was in on all of it from the first, including playing his part in his indignation over the invitation to Bibi. It gave Boner a chance to act tough and didn't cost Obama anything. Word was that Boner was meeting with Obama during the ruse.

Does anyone know a website where I can contribute to Ted’s campaign for president? All I have been able to find is his old Senate campaign site.

Ted is the only candidate who has the balls to reverse Hussein’s decrees. Even Scott Walker, whom I like otherwise, does not seem to have the fire in his belly that is required to stand up to the RATS and their media and the GOP establishment. To paraphrase President Reagan, Ted Cruz is the last best hope of America and therefore the world.

I HATE getting played by these people.

I hear you! They're getting more and more like 0bama in that they're blatant about it and don't give a whit who knows.

Allahidiot is K Street bagman and loves Amnesty and DC elite.

He loves his DC insiders and peddles there crap daily.

His website is a K street owned front group and needs to renamed Hot-gas.

Every single employed poster is a Amnesty shill .

Michelle did us no favors selling out to those K street crooks.

It wasn’t a plan so much as it was inevitable. Without the 13 democrat votes in the senate to over ride obama’s veto, this was inevitable.

Yes, RINOS are full-fledged Marxists. One and the same. Joined congenitally at birth as the spawn of Frederick Charles Krueger and Nurse Ratched. I don’t think you can get any more evil than that.

Yes, I do indeed recall that.

These players are all after the same goal.

“ISIS will overrun Washington!”


Right at this moment I’m having a hard time figuring the downside, we could hold them off at the North Anna River.

I do not follow him but what he wrote makes sense. Do you disagree with anything in his analysis? It makes perfect sense. As has been stated here, even Netanyahu’s speech was probably orchestrated to give Boner cover.

Here is Allahpundit’s conclusion:
“Washington Republicans aren’t so good at outmaneuvering Barack Obama or Harry Reid, but they’re darned good at outmaneuvering their own base. And they should be. They seem to spend most of their time on it.

The only remaining check on Obama is the courts. If that wasn’t already painfully clear before today, it is now.”

Do you disagree with that?

Yep. I remember when MM would write great articles about and post videos of illegals breaking our laws, extremist muzzie atrocities, etc. What were those vids called? Rant?

Once she sold out, the RINO/progs took over, for sure.

RINOs are worse than Democrats. Every traitorous bill is passed by RINOs. Now they don’t even need to pass bad bills, they can’t just stand by and watch Obama destroy the country.
