Jon Karl: Ted Cruz ‘so hated’ among GOP senators ‘he’s going to need a food taster’ [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | February 16, 2014 | Jamie Weinstein, senior editor

Posted on 02/16/2014 10:17:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl says many of Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s fellow Republican senators despise him — like, really, totally hate him.

“The Republicans in the Senate had this all set. This was going to be able to pass with only Democratic votes. He stands up, says ‘I’m going to filibuster’, suddenly they need 60 votes,” Karl explained on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, speaking of last week’s vote to increase the debt ceiling. “I’ll tell you, Ted Cruz is so hated among his Republicans now — more so than even during the shutdown — that at the Tuesday lunch they have, every Tuesday, he’s going to need a food taster.”

It must suck to be one trying to do their job in a crowd of people who all are members of the DILLIGAF club. Needless to say, the resentment factor must be off the charts for making the rest of them look like the pikers they are.

Well, Jon Karl shows his own hatred here more than aught else.

BTW, references to “food taster(s)” imply that the USA is an absolute monarchy with the Congress serving as mere courtiers. This is how the press really views the Obama Administration, then?

Didn’t I read somewhere that Benghazi Barry Soebarkah has his OWN food taster?

(and that he made sure the military guard was disarmed during his last “annointment”?)

If the traitors did not hate him, I would probably not like him as much

Excellent point, I had much the same reaction to reading this. I’ve run out of words, it’s just too much really.

They are using the same scripts and lines that they once used against Sarah Palin.

Remember, these are the same people who stabbed Bush in the back all the time he was in office.

Sooooo .. it would stand to reason why they doubly hate Cruz .. because it was Cruz who was Solicitor General of TX and went before the Supremes to argue Bush v. Gore - AND WON.

And .. their envy of his ability to get press attention, as well as so many adoring fans .. it’s mind-boggling how juvenile; jealous; envious; hate-mongers they have become.

Like Rush said the other day .. he can see 2014 being even bigger than 2010.

And .. don’t forget .. the repubs are way ahead in donations .. so why are the elites so mad .. Cruz has padded their coffers .. and they’re still mad. Go figure!

ROTFLOL !!! McCain sent me an email asking me to sign a petition to repeal ObamaCare ..?? I was so shocked, because all McCain did was badmouth Cruz over the “repeal” stuff or the “defund” stuff.

So .. being the smart-alecky person that I am, I wrote a note on top of their email which read:

“SORRY, I ALREADY SIGNED UP WITH WHACK-0-BIRD.” Which, if you remember, was the name McCain called Cruz.
