My fear is, the Democrats planned this for months. We're fighting the battle and they have the high ground. That's the point I don't think Ted Cruz and others got. They should have had commercials 'in the can' ready to run against Democrats from Day 1.

I'm not saying the Teaparty position is wrong, but I've always thought the timing of the battle may not be right.

I hope the PR war gets better ...
