When you’re advocating closing down the tiny bit of gov’t that is affected by a gov’t shutdown, you bear some responsibility for the consequences. And Cruz almost cost one of our senators his seat. And this is, evidently, the only friend he has in the Senate, btw.
Sen Cruz can claim he stood on his principles all he wants, however, there is this: we were the minority party at the time, and Obama was in the White Hut at the time: There was NO WAY Cruz was going to prevail and he knew it — yet continued his grandstanding. I’m not the biggest Rand Paul fan, but his filibuster had some real results. Cruz’ not at all. Except that Mike Lee had to kiss a lot of fannies to make sure he wasn’t primaried by a Romney who was going to have Huntsman money, besides. And if you don’t know how significant that is, think of the Hatfields and McCoy’s joining forces to get rid of someone.
Nothin’ to do with cocktail parties, trust me.
As far as Mike Lee, do you think he's smart enough to understand the consequences of his vote, maybe you would think more highly of him if he joined with all the other snakes
"Nothin; to do with cocktail parties, trust me."
Right, how old are you? your naive if you think these people care about the voters they're more concerned about schmoozing the cocktail circuit so thy can grub more money. glad handing the very people they call snakes in public during the day. I'm sick to death of politicians who's motto's are 'live to fight another day' or 'run away, run away' as evidenced by the last 7 years, that hasn't worked has it?
