[Peter] King [(R-N.Y.)] blasts 'morons' in Republican Party
The Hill ^ | 02-12-2014 | Mario Trujillo

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) defended Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday after the House passed a clean debt-limit bill that raised the ire of conservatives.

King branded as “morons” many conservatives in the GOP caucus who consistently oppose any effort to pass the debt limit, asserting they are the same faction that led to the government shutdown last year.

“This is the same group that back in September and October went into a government shutdown that everybody knew was a disaster,” King said on MSNBC. “They ended up looking like morons following Ted Cruz over the cliff.”

King had been one of the most vocal critics of the strategy that led to the government shutdown last year. He said the Speaker tried everything to get appease his members Tuesday.

However, many of them didn’t have the "guts" to vote on any proposal to raise the borrowing limit, King said.

“John tried everything,” he said. "I was so disgusted with people in the Republican conference. So many got up and said they knew they had to pass the debt ceiling, but they didn’t have the guts to vote for it. And they wouldn’t vote for anything. And that’s why he had to do what he did.”

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is a lying s.o.b. and he knows it. He knows those in the republican part who don’t support these debt limit bills want a lower debt limit. He knows that is what it is all about, but he lies to his more liberal supporters telling them that the fiscal conservatives are a hateful bunch of suicidally minded maniacs. He commits the fallacy of ad hominem, knowingly. Knowingly. He is a lying s.o.b. Fortunately for him, 95% of voters are dumber than he is evil.

No, chief Moron King, they consistently oppose any effort to give the Progressives a blank check : any form of an irresponsible direct or indirect INCREASE in the debt limit.

As the First Manchurian Candidate said, "It's smple arithmetic!"

Is everybody in? Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin

Wake up!
You can’t remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
.......
.......
Awake

Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child my sweet one

Chose the day,

And chose the sign of your day, the days divinity.

First thing you see..

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon

couples naked race down by it’s quiet side

and we laugh like soft mad children snug in the wooly cotton brens of infancy.

The music and voices are all around us

They will always admit who they are, all you have to do is listen. It’s like looking in the mirror, same reflection.
