Rep. Peter King: 'We Have to Start Going After Ted Cruz by Name'

(CNSNews.com) - If Congress passes legislation deferring a decision on the debt ceiling and stopgap government funding, Republicans should anticipate another crisis in six to eight weeks, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said on Monday.

"We have to anticipate Ted Cruz is going to try to do this again. Ted Cruz and 30 or 40 people in the House. And we have to start going after him by name. I've been doing it all along. I wish I had more company on it."

King said "we just can't have" Republicans or Ted Cruz second-guessing the final outcome of the current stalemate.

"What's going to happen, months from now, after this is resolved, he's going to say, 'Republicans were on the edge of winning. But they lost their nerve in the end, and they caved in. This time it's going to work.' I think he's going to rewrite history. And we have to make sure he doesn't do it. And it's really time to speak out against him. And also again, there's about 30 or 40 (conservatives) in the House who are going to go with him. We can't let John Boehner and Eric Cantor be put into this position again. They told us in mid-September this would be a disaster."

King said Republicans all over the country are going to suffer because of what Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has done: "I don't care where you're from, what Ted Cruz is doing is affecting the entire country."

King said "there's no doubt that Democrats are winning" right now, but he also said that President Obama needs to "play a more aggressive role" in bringing the two sides together. - See more at: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/rep-peter-king-we-have-start-going-after-ted-cruz-name#sthash.GiHprG4W.dpuf

King said "there's no doubt that Democrats are winning" right now, but he also said that President Obama needs to "play a more aggressive role" in bringing the two sides together.

If the Democrats "are winning," why does King think Obama would have the slightest interest in "bringing the two sides together."

Whatever else King may be, anyone who could string together this nonsense is without any doubt a moron.

I think we have to start going after Peter King by name. Call him the lying traitor he is, don’t let him run his mouth with no blowback, it ain’t right.

Peter King is an attention whore,

He’s also a bitter, old man, who’s totally jealous of Senator Cruz.

By blasting Senator Cruz, Peter King gets invites on MSM TV shows.

How much more effective would the Republican party be if they didn’t spend half their time shooting their people in the back?

Who the #%€* is running this “party”? I don’t see the Rats verbally lynching Joe Manchin or anyone else that dares to listen to his constituents.h

The primaries for 2016 will be even bloodier for the GO “P??” than 2012.
But by then, the McCainiacs will have joined the Rats.
[I stick by my prediction of a Hillary - KrispyKreme ticket.

Oh BTW, FUPK!
