Rep. Peter D. King (R-N.Y.) is not a fan of Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas senator, newly announced presidential candidate, and fellow Republican.
"To me, he's just a guy with a big mouth and no results," he told CNN this week.
Well, Cruz supporters aren't much fans of King, a moderate representing Long Island who has long been critical of hard-line conservatives in his own party. And, King said Friday, they have called his congressional office to let him know how they felt, prompting him to issue a statement slamming those Cruz backers as suffering "from severe cases of arrested development."
"I owe it to my staff - particularly the female members and young interns - to make this statement," King said, explaining that he was used to "return fire" in politics.
"What I do find revealing is the number of vulgar, rabid and adolescent type - phone calls my office has received from Cruz supporters," he said in the statement....

I guessed right - without peeking - What do I win?

Mr. High Tech,
Please do not despair about Cruz and Obamacare. When it finally plays out, Cruz will look like a genius and the Obamacare bunch will be eating crow and looking like the slow PC practitioners they are.
There’s a method in what appears to be Kruz madness. Patience! Ted is brilliant. Don’t listen to the drive-by propagandists.
Just imagine Kruz facing Hillary in a debate. He will annihilate her.
He’ll get there, believe me.
Well, Pete, assuming you’re telling the truth, it’s no surprise that your acting like a boorish ass might attract a few boorish remarks in return.
“. . . King, a moderate representing Long Island . . ..”
Moderate? By whose definition? Good Grief!

Peter King might be one of those “purists” we keep hearing about. Obviously Cruz is noy pure (statist) enough for them.
When 2016 gets here, and Obamacare with Health Insurance Premiums increased by 200 percent, cancelled polices galore, and hardworking American families taxed for not signing up...... Cruz WILL, indeed, be the genius and the RINOs and DemocRATS will look like the little kid sent away from the dinner table for farting.
moderately rotten??
Actually, Peter King gave a great description of himself. Having a big mouth. Check one for Peter. No results. Check two for Peter.
(He would've been a lousy senator, but better than the guaranteed Dem vote.)
Sorta like...Peter King?
The second best thing about nominating Ted Cruz will be Peter King jumping off a bridge.
Do we get to pick the bridge?
King... The Bawney Fwank of the GOP
This is the same tactic used by Leftists who insist that Tea Party members call and threaten them. No one ever provides proof, however the media makes sure it’s aired, because they want it to be true.
Peter IRA King can GO TO HELL!
Does this guy ALWAYS look like he’s got barbed wire up his private holes???
You forgot to tell people not to email him at pete@peteking.com or call him at (516) 459-5007.
Should I try to get my contribution back from http://www.TedCruz.org? I feel so ashamed.
Care to list a few results senator Cruz has actually accomplished in senate? List of Bills sponsored? List of his Bills passed by the senate? List of his Bills passed by the House? In other words I am trying to get a feel for consensus building skills of senator Cruz. I already know none of his Bills will get signed by president Obummer.
Some say who needs consensus, because that means compromise! Guess what, that is how our democratic republic works! The House, the Senate and the President must come together before any Bill becomes law. Even if senator Cruz gets elected as president, he can’t pass a single law without consensus from congress.
How do we know that these people who are calling Rep. NY King’s office are actual Ted Cruz supporters ?
Or ? that Rep. King paid or put people up to this to make Ted Cruz look bad ?
How do we know these folks who are calling Rep. King are not Occupy Wall Street types from the left to make Ted Cruz look bad ?
Or Some one on the left or GOPe establishment doing this ?
The only real way to find out is to check the phone call records and find out where they really came from ( paid by SOROs ? ).
Rep. NY King ? What are you going to say if it’s found out your own people are doing this ?
Or ? the left in a evil scheme to make Ted Cruz to look bad at doing this ?
Rep. NY King ? Will you give Ted Cruz a full public apology on TV to Ted Cruz and his supporters ? And resign ?
The phone call records will show were these phone calls really came from.
BINGO !
REP. Peter King could have, might have, perhaps, put his own people up to this, or those on the left, or perhaps OWS, or SORROs claim.
Your correct, they never show proof, only lies,
Peter King ? Were are those phone records to prove that these were Ted Cruz supporters ?
We would wish for Ted Cruz to say to REP. NY Pete King “ Prove it Pete King, show us the phone records “.
