Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is no fan of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as the outspoken congressman made clear in an interview published Wednesday in The New York Times.
My sound bite is to say hes a fraud, King told the Times. I start with that, and then I go on. It takes me two or three minutes to explain it.
Minutes later, according to the Times, King had a damning characterization of Cruz's effort to block funding for the health care law, which has raised the risk of a government shutdown. Cruz continued his quixotic campaign to defund Obamacare with a marathon floor speech that began Tuesday afternoon and spilled into Wednesday.
It is just a form of governmental terrorism," King said.
King was one of many House Republicans to lash out at Cruz over the defunding effort last week, telling the senator to "keep quiet." In May, King boycotted a GOP fundraiser that was headlined by Cruz because of the Texas senator's vote against a Hurricane Sandy relief bill earlier this year.

This is the guy who, when Fox interviewed him during the Washington Navy Yard incident (why?), made it all about himself by saying, “and this is just about a quarter mile from Capitol Hill”, intimating that he and his “colleagues” were in the danger zone. The Fox guy interviewing him interrupted him and said, “actually, we’ve verified that it’s over 2 miles away”. I didn’t know whether to laugh or spit.
Fraud, Who is the Fraud here Rep. King? You are finished
just like all the rest of your RINO BUDDIES!
I just emailed him and said “I’d rsather have “Cruz’s terrorism “than HIS tyranny.
Well, I don’t see ANY possibility of a massive, tyrannical government extermination of millions of undesirables, not with THIS scrupulous, serene, and genial kind of rhetoric being thrown around.
I mean, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?
I so agree.
Just yesterday we’re called Anarchists, and a member of our own party now says ,”we are creating governmental terrorism.”
Folks, I think scarier days are ahead and soon it seems.
Good! Thanks.
FUPK
Time to send this feces home, ya think?
” I have no idea what has gotten into King, but his stance on this obamination has cooked his goose.”
Being from blue liberal New York, has it really cooked his goose? Just an ignorant Okie from Texas really asking this.
King does know about terrorism. He’s ex-IRA.
King isn’t the only one that needs to be taken down. GOP Senator Boozman from Arkansas is denouncing Ted Cruz too saying that he was receiving phone calls at his office, slandering his support for Cruz. Now that he caved, there’s one more RINO that was just unveiled.
We need to take these a-holes down. I’m sick and tired of people pandering to the communists running the show. Nobody is willing to stick their neck out to show how committed they are to protect their freedoms, except for two people I saw last night: Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

Go screw yourself, King... and every other chicken-sh*t RINO who couldn’t muster up a fraction of Cruz’ courage on this.
The frauds are YOU!
Freedom Party.
No other answer.
I think Pete King needs to go home, drink a bottle of Geratol, and take a long nap.
His rants have ceased to be relevant.
Nice! Where can I get one?
Nobody does Cruz's thinking for him. Maybe that was part of Cruz's intention....to have the "whacko birds" drive McCain and the other sanity disabled RINOs right off the cliff.
King isn't KING!!
The hell with him,.......
Good post!
