[history]
REP. PETER KING (R-NY): Andrea, this is the strategy of Ted Cruz and going back to mid-September, I said that Ted Cruz was a fraud, that there was a dead-end to this policy and it made no sense to follow it. John Boehner also told us in early September that it would be the wrong thing to do to shut down the government in an attempt to defund Obamacare. Unfortunately, we have three or four dozen Republicans in the House, Cruz Republicans, who basically threatened to bring the House down if John Boehner did not pursue this policy. John knew it was not doing to work, but he felt he had no choice. I understand his position.

Peter King, please get back on your meds, one more ass-hat in congress is exactly what the American people do not need.
You may only speak when the American tax payers jerks your chain, until then, sit down, shut your pie hole, and remain silent while the adults (Cruz, Lee, and Paul) stand up for the American people and put an end to this out of control government!

King was also out front defending the NSA spy-on-everyone-all-the-time programs.
If he likes 0bamacare and the surveillance state so much, and the Constitution so little, then I know a party that would welcome him with open arms.

Amazing what happens to a person who has delusions of being President. Pete, how do you expect to win even your next primary when you throw away half your voters?

Sadly, I agree with King.
I'd hazard a guess that 80% of the Republican Congressmen/women are members of the same 'Big Government' party as the Democrats. They run as Republicans to get elected in conservative districts.
Americans that favor limited Government and seek the follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights are a rarity. So, by that definition Cruz is a 'RINO'.

I think somebody in the GOP majority in the house should call him a democrat to his face with the camera’s rolling. King will turn red faced and go into hysterics and have a nervous fit... Right on cue.

RNC,Please advise Peter King to join a party more to his liking.Just make sure its the Democrat(Communist)Party.
He’ll be very happy there and he’ll still keep his title.

Sadly, he may be correct. I figured I was the RINO when Romney clinched the nomination. The party left us.

Would be better just to pretend he doesn’t exist. For someone like King, would be a fate worse than death itself.

King is right. King is the real Repubic.

Now we know why the word "peter" is synonymous with "dick"...
I guess that his name makes him king of the dick...

King and the other rinos sound like they have some pending business deals hanging for campaign contributors.

Why did Obama refuse to sign the bill funding the government without Obamacare ? Because he knew it is a disaster for the American people and the Congress would never fund it.

Rep. Peter King: Ted Cruz And Rand Paul Are The Real RINOs (video)This guy is as insane as the treasonous Democrats.
King just doesn't get it. What alternate dimension is he in?
"RINO" until recently, defined politicians with an (R) after their name, who behaved identically to the no-limit spend Democrats, and no longer the conservative republican (with a small "r") constitutional, fiscally prudent party.
THAT IS NO LONGER TRUE.
"RINO" has been redefined now, for those who are finally, and seriously fighting for traditional, fiscally responsible Republican governance.
If that redefinition is true, RINO is suddenly a good label.
