".....DeLay began by admitting Republicans did lose the fight over the budget and the debt ceiling. Echoing the words of House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), he said, They put up a good fight. O appreciate everyone that voted against the deal yesterday and stood up and fought. Unfortunately, they didnt have enough votes to carry out the fight and win.
When Baldwin brought up Republicans crumbling approval ratings, Delay accused her of pushing a media narrative with those numbers. I have no narrative, sir, she responded. Im just right in the middle, just asking the question.
Im not attacking you, Brooke, DeLay assured her, but we saw how the media completely trashed Ted Cruz and others, trying to fight for what their people believe in. He said despite the GOPs effective loss, out here in the real world, outside of New York and Washington, D.C., these people think Ted Cruz is a hero. They think that those Republicans in the House are heroes. And they think that Obama is destroying this country.
Asked to elaborate on his criticism of Obama, DeLay referred to him as arrogant-in-chief. He added that the statement Obama delivered this morning was the height of arrogance and incompetent. The president is incompetent with Obamacare. He cant even roll out Obamacare. Hes incompetent by enforcing on this country something that they dont want. Hes incompetent in his foreign policy. Hes just an incompetent president.
DeLay predicted that America will see more action from the tea party wing of the Republican Party over the next 90 days when the next round of budget and debt ceiling battles will take place. Republicans should regroup and come out fighting and be on offense, and not be on defense. he said. Extending the football metaphor, he added, They need to develop a game plan, getting ready for January and Februarys fight.
Watch video below, via CNN:
SHERIFF CORDEL SAYS....'HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER: REJOIN US!'
How about these numbers:
232 Republicans in the US House of Representatives; 200 Democrats
That adds up to "GOP had sufficient votes to stop it."
If Louie Gomert isn’t interested, then De Lay should primary Cornyn.
If the rest of the weenies would start to say this kind of thing about Bambi care and the incompetence of everything the rats have done instead of criticizing the TEA party or Sen Cruz, we'd throw these fools all out on their rear ends in total disgrace.
Why can’t we have strong leadership like this? Our guys are so passive.
Tom delay for speaker of the house.
Yes, and what would that accomplish, to block this bad deal at this time? Could we have gotten a better deal?
Yes, I wish McCain types would shut up and quit taking shots at Conservatives, but -—
There is NO excuse out there to get mad at the entire Republican Party at this time. They put up a FIGHT and I am glad they did! The Sequester cuts are still in force, we WON on that count.
Pete is like the kid that sits in the back of the class with his head down, praying he won't be called upon. ...zero passion or fight in the guy!
Most probably don't even know who Pete Olson is.
The “Hammer” is back.
Ted Cruz for President, Allen West for Vice President
