A small group of Republicans reportedly turned against Ted Cruz in a closed-door meeting Wednesday, attacking the outspoken Texas Senator for leading the charge against funding Obamacare which led to the government shutdown,

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eager to exploit divisions among Republicans, Democrats have hammered the message that the U.S. government shutdown is the work of a small segment of House of Representatives Republicans on the far right.
In fact, support for the tactic that led to the shutdown - now in its fourth day - has proven to be far more solid and widespread among House Republicans than the Democratic portrayal.
That is because the far right, after the 2010 and 2012 congressional elections, is not a small segment at all - it represents probably 69 percent of the House Republican caucus.
Members who were endorsed by Tea Party organizations in the 2012 election make up a full third of the Republican caucus of 232 representatives.
Even more, about 160 members, a strong majority of the caucus, get high ratings from the ultra-conservative Club For Growth.
Thanks for the info.
Certainly, I hope you’re right. Seeing Cruz with a spine has possibly been a blow to the jaw to these career cavers. They are critically late, but “appear” to be playing along at the moment.
The people insisted.

Despicable RINO B@st@ards! Stay strong, Mr. Cruz!
Cruz was on the Bill Bennett radio show this morning and basically said he wouldn’t disclose the private conversations he had when asked about this incident.
The Senate doesn’t matter. The House is in control.
My state of Missouri has it’s own Judas, Sen. Roy Blunt. Since when did the Executive Branch control the House? IF the republicans cave, blink or give in on this..Obama will deem himself to be untouchable for the next 3 yrs.
This is the Dept of Agriculture Forest Service, not the Dept of Interior National Park Service
All rengers are sworn LEO’s and are armed
They took Bill Bennett off my local talk show station and replaced him with Imus. Imus is a mentally challenged suckup who, like Larry King, thinks every book he ever read was “just great.”
"Many" are cowards, liars, and back-stabbing traitors who've been exposed by Senator Ted Cruz.
History will show that Cruz is clearly in the right.
The Old GOP is on its’ last legs. They will be on the ash heap of history.
Thank you.
I still don’t recall armed NPS, although I see the rationale.
There a variety of NPS employees that are around and meeting the public. They are nature interpreters, historians, guides etc/ They are not “Rangers”
It is the “Rangers” that are armed.
I havent seen one of the slimey gang of 25 take a stand against 0bamacare...they want to destroy Cruz!
Frankly, I think these people are being paid and promised that they will be paid. I think this is all about money. Not power so much as money. That, too, though.
Imagine if the GOPe Senators are being promised some sort of position in an 0bama dictatorship that eliminates the House.
