Stuff it Stephen. Expect your RINO buddies to be looking for new employment over the next 3 election cycles.

Was never that fond of Steven Hayes anyway but now....he can go f&*k himself.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The girly-men DC metrosexuals don't like confrontation.

We don’t want Deathcare and we voted in a Republican House to stop it. What’s so hard to understand?

[rhubarbk]

My blood was beyond boiling when I read the 1st sentence and then . . . I read on.

My blood is still way over 212° after today’s vote and it taken every bit of restraint to be civil when talking with my elected officials (Isakson & Chambliss) office and expressing my thoughts on their traitorous votes in favor of Zero Care.

[TLI]

He has done the bidding of the GOP fringe,

No, it is not the "fringe."

It is what is left of the actual republican party.

The rest of the GOP is nothing more than the butt kissing collaborator brigade that is hiding behind a phony "R."

Let the PRIMARIES begin.

These people tell themselves what they want to be true.

We say two cheers for Ted Cruz​—​and for Mike Lee

bttt

I was GOP fringe, but no longer. The GOP is self-aggrandizing, power hungry, treacherous, conniving, perfidious, irresolute, recreant, unfaithful, traitorous, valor-less, untrustworthy, collection of knaves and miscreants.

They pretend to be the left tackle to defend liberty and purposely get out of the way of the block so the offense is stymied. They don't make the sack themselves, they just fail to stop it. If it were football, we would all think they were on the take and had some skin on the game at Vegas. Maybe the house will surprise me and stand resolute, there is a first time for everything they say.

[FReepaholic]

LOL. With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth the past few days you’d think a bunch of demons had Holy Water sprayed on them or something.

Stephen,

William F. Buckley, Jr. ran as a candidate I the CONSERVATIVE PARTY. If he were alive today, he would fire your ass.

The “consensus in Washington” is usually the polar opposite of the reality outside the beltway.

[CPO retired]

1. Cruz has brought more attention to obamacare, and more people are becoming informed about what it.

2. Polarization is good. We get to see who is on what side of the war. A bunch of elected officials had to pick a side with everyone watching. We know who is the enemy and who is an ally.

[Servant of the Cross]

They succeeded in one crucial respect: Everyone is talking about Obamacare. And the more it gets talked about, the clearer its flaws are to an already skeptical public.

Even Stephen Hayes must grudgingly acknowledge this. And what a success ... as well as a crucial one! Therefore, Stephen, Senator Cruz does deserve three cheers! This is leadership. And left to his own devices, McConnell would have NEVER achieved this crucial success! Here's how Senator Cruz described this current GOP "leadership" in the U.S. Senate on Rush ......

I will tell you the single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here. I mean, we don't even talk about how to win a fight. There's no discussion. We talk about, "Hey, let's get a show vote so we can go tell our constituents we're doing something." But I promise you, Rush, if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you'd be in therapy for a month ... but they've been here a long time, and they're beaten down, and they don't believe we can win. They don't believe it can happen, and the answer they say on every issue is, "No, we can't do it. We can't do it."

Stephen Hayes and the GOPe apologists never. Senator Ted Cruz forever.

[Caipirabob]

Ted Cruz has sparked a Republican civil war. He has done the bidding of the GOP fringe, in a self-aggrandizing crusade.

Just what the #&$% is "fringe" about NOT wanting to be a socialist tax-slave?!?

[Grampa Dave]

Hayes is another worthless beltway faux conservative living, lying and pretending the be know it all for us, the peons outside of the beltway.

[pgkdan]

Hey Stephen Hayes...kiss my butt and then go sh*t in your hat!

[GeronL]

Ted Cruz has re-energized the conservative movement.

Waahh

At least one Senator refuses to do the bidding of the Democrats, this cannot be allowed.

We aren’t the fringe. We are America.
