Yuck Yuck (Tucker Carlson and Charles Krauthammer excoriate Cruz over Obamacare defunding)
Legal Insurrection ^ | 9-23-2013 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 09/23/2013 4:57:28 PM PDT by servo1969

Tonight on Special Report with Bret Baier both Tucker Carlson and Charles Krauthammer were excoriating Cruz over the issue of Obamacare defunding.  That's fine.

If you think he's wrong or foolish or whatever, make the case.

But as part of their arguments each brought up that Cruz was born in Canada.  Carlson mentioning that there were questions as to whether Cruz could be president and Krauthammer joking that Cruz could be Prime Minister of Canada.

What did that have to do with anything?  The topic was defunding Obamacare and Senate strategy.

.@TuckerCarlson @krauthammer What does Cruz being born in Canada have 2 do w Obamacare? Y bring it up tonight on @SpecialReport ?

.@Krauthammer: "@TedCruz can be PM of Canada" - yuck yuck - don't u have better arguments than that over Obamacare defunding?

You can make the case against Cruz’s tactics, if you want, without going where you went.

This was my 17,000th tweet ever, whatever numerological significance that holds:

FWIW @tedcruz eligible 2B president http://t.co/4SQ5pTEjlB cc: @TuckerCarlson @krauthammer

As much of a pain as it was to do the research, at least it’s out there: natural born Citizens: Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz.

Bookmark it. If tonight is any indication, you’ll need it for the 2016 Republican primaries.

O’Reilly and Brit Hume are going after conservative talk show hosts— they sound exactly like Obama. I switched to The Voice.

You bet. Let’s just make the list here and now. It’s been on my mind today after listening to Michael Berry talk about it.

Brooks who?

I think Cruz would make a damn fine president.

He might be okaY BUT Palin would be the best. Any who think not and have a better idea put it forth now your reasoning.

I think it’s brilliant.

Like it or not, TED CRUZ AND TED CRUZ ALONE will be identified as the guy that tried to stop all this when EVERYONE GETS INSURANCE HIKES AND REDUCED COVERAGE next year.

Ted Cruz can endorse fledgling primary candidates and they will win against incumbents on this issue alone.

The GOP elite has Karl “Tokyo” Rove and the other Longknives at work doing a character assassination of Cruz. Next thing you know we will be hearing about how Cruz did something mean in kindergarten.

Oh, how I have missed William F. Buckley Jr! Every day more than the one before. He could think, write, AND talk the truth with never a waiver.

Krauthammer was in love with Hussein five years ago. He is NOT a true conservative. Just plays one on TV

with the Left having a tendency to want to cut off their nose to spite their face,

Nothing like that will happen anyway, besides what about the 3-4 million conservatives who did NOT VOTE in the last election? They had the chance then to remove obama but instead cast a vote for him by NOT VOTING!

They are the ones who saddled us with Obama for a second term and worse see my tag line.

I agree. Krauthammer talks a good line and leads people to believe he is conservative until its time to actually make a stand, and then all the sudden he advises against doing anything substantial. He does the elites bidding by attempting to mislead conservatives by pretending to be a conservative with a voice of reason. Krauthammer is just a flunkie for the elite ruling class.

I realized a long time ago that they were out of touch. They are more interested in maintaining their credentials as Washington insiders than anything else. People who live and/or work in Washington see the world through a distorted lens. In the end, they go along to get along. Cruz threatens to shake up their safe little world; and for that reason, they are attacking him.

They are just in there punting for the GOP elites. Its going to get real messy between now and 2016. We all need to stay strong and not listen to these guys. I always try to remember that Kraut used to write speeches for McGovern and Tucker’s sister is Margaret Carlson an out of control progressive troll who makes Eleanor Clift look sane.

The Legal Insurrection followers seem to be against everyone.

Someone has to tell me where in this piece Tucker is making fun of Cruz.

It’s not there.

Where did your “since his father was a Canadian citizen.” come from?

His Dad was a Cuban refugee who had resided in the USA a number of years prior to working in Canada when Ted was born. “Resided in the USA” are key words, look em up regarding NBC.
