“If Speaker Boehner doesn’t want to assert his leadership,” he added, “then he should go ahead and turn the gavel over to Speaker Cruz...”

Damn straight Chris. I agree. Preach on.

Van Hollen better see a doctor for that hyperventilating before his beloved Obama care kicks in and he will have to wait so long, the outcome may be bad.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. :-)

The fool does not even realize that many on the left and in the center also oppose Obamacare. Cruz is speaking for America.

In the mean time our conservatives in congress should be getting support from all of us!

Cruz has unified the republicans, at least in the House. Despite Peter King, they are standing together. With Boehner leading them, they were divided and bickering.

"It's pretty clear that this whole episode is being driven by the hard-right, extreme, Tea Party elements of the Republican Party

Really? If this little clown thinks it's OK to call me a hard-right, extreme, Tea party element would it be OK for me to call him and his side fanatical leftists, progressive socialists, and liberal scum hellbent on destroying America?????

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has essentially taken the House speakership from John Boehner during the fight over federal spending, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) charged Monday.
 
And this would be a bad thing???

Van Hollen sounds like he just got off a LIBERAL STRATEGIC CONFERENCE CALL. Get Van, that ought to stir it up in the House.

Dems are poking Boehner in the eye...to make him start cracking some Tea Party heads...

The main goal of this whole democrat Kabuki show is to crush the Tea Party House members by pinning the government shutdown on them...
