Congressman Peter King has been one of the strongest Republican voices opposing Ted Cruzs fight against Obamacare, frequently calling him a fraud. On CNN Wednesday night, King continued hammering Cruz, telling Anderson Cooper that despite how much Cruz may view himself as a conservative folk hero the majority of the country is rallying behind, those Ive spoken to think hes crazy.
King likened this to the Charge of the Light Brigade and said Cruz is a kamikaze pilot, ultimately finding his tactics to be destructive to the Republican party. He continued to call Cruz a fraud and a medicine man selling goods he knows are phony goods.
Cooper asked why King is taking the unusual step of being so critical of a member of his own party. King said he has no loyalty to Cruz, adding that Cruz was trying to intimidate Republican members of Congress in the past few months to vote his way with explicit threats of primaries.

Called his office earlier today
Reminded him of Reagan s eleventh commandment
And to shut his dm mouth
Well done.
Ted Cruz is representing the “ caring “ part of the voting population.
King has sunk to a new low with this uncalled for commentary.
Ever hear of the first amendment Peter. That also applies to our elected representatives, and Ted, on our behalf, was excercising his.
I know you, and you pretend I care fellows, don’t like this done in “ your house” but that’s where it’s supposed to happen.
You have joined Chuck Schumer status as far as I’m concerned.
If we had a real conservative on the ballot, Im convinced we could win against Roves machine.
Sarah P backed Ted Cruz to get him elected.
I’m all for a Sarah “ The Cuda” vs Karl “ The Architect” battle, as I’m sure she will go all out to back Ted again if he runs for President.
He has our 2 Florida votes already.

That’s why Rove does his best to undercut, minimalize and sabatoge any Conservatives that run including those who win primaries.
Hey Peter, you couldn’t match his education, his eloquence, his class and his smarts no matter how hard you try. Bitter, jealous coward.
What has King ever accomplished?
Pray America is Waking Up
He’s just a stupid old commie who is afraid the gravy train will stop if Conservatism prevails. And you’re right, Mr. King.
The corruption will stop, you old wacko bird.
Also, the green-eyed monster may have something to do with the high degree of venom in his insane attacks. Sen. Cruz is
young, brilliant, on his way UP, and very handsome, while King is none of those things, and he has the face he deserves.
It is the face of an angry, far-left, ignorant loser, and I see that all the time on the Demwits, men and women alike. They
sneer so much that their faces are frozen into a perpetual, furious rictus.
The problem is he’s from New York and when was the last time a true conservative won a state office or a congressional race there? If we consider liberalism a mental disease, then what should we call the rinoism that is rampant throughout the GOP?
During the 1990s King enjoyed a close relationship with the Muslim community in his congressional district. King often gave speeches at the Westbury Islamic Center, held book signings in the prayer hall, took in Muslim interns, and was one of the few Republicans who supported U.S. intervention in the 1990s to help Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo. The Muslim community thanked King for his work by making him the guest of honor for the 1993 opening of a $3 million prayer hall. For years, a picture of King cutting the ceremonial ribbon hung on the bulletin board by the mosque’s entrance.[7]
These types get really pissed when the citizens they extort cash from under penalty of imprisonment start mouthing off.
We need to primary these guts and to run Tea Party democrats against them. Let’s infiltrate both parties like the progressives did.
These Rinos do not mind being the socialist minority party. They are not for a constitutional republic and have more in common with the communist global ideology than the ideology of America.
