Rep. Peter King: Sen. Ted Cruz tapped into ‘dark strain in the American political psyche’
Washington Times ^ | 9/26/13 | By Seth McLaughlin

Rep. Peter T. King said Thursday that Sen. Ted Cruz is a “false leader” who is peddling a “false bill of goods” in the debate over defunding Obamacare and said Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, has tapped into a “dark strain in the American political psyche.”

-snip-

“I don’t think it is possible to heal tensions with Ted Cruz,” Mr. King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

He should think as a Representative and NOT as a King.

I don’t really care if I ever hear about Peter King again. He and McKook only get attention when they bash Republicans.

Does that fruit EVER criticize Obamugabe?

My email to McConnell

Senator,

After your showing in yesterday’s hearing, you have become the biggest asshat in congress. I will work tirelessly getting you primaried. You need to take your loose marbles back to Ky and give it up. Sen. Cruz showed what the Rebublican party will be.

Retire now and take your bennies and cushy healthcare and get lost. You have been a disgraceful Sen. Leader for a long time. Stuff it.

I think its hysterical. Republicans are finally so sick of their elected representatives not doing the job that they speak up and now all of a sudden they are the dark strain. Isn’t that rich.

Yeah, don’t use your time on air to attack Obamacare and educate voters- use it to bash members of your own party that are trying to do something about the problem!

Hillary Clinton must be smiling at her good fortune of having useful idiots like King and McCain around at a time when she prepares to run for president...

VERY impressive sentence. TOTALLY without meaning.

So Petey, you wouldn’t by any chance be jealous of all the attention Sen Cruz is getting would you? You’re supposed to be a Republican, but you get a couple of phone calls from the fing people you work for telling you to do your job and you run to MSNBC? Disgracia!!

Mr King, you and your ilk treat us like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed crap. We have someone standing up and saying that we don’t like the taste and you...I am at a loss, seriously. Reading your condescending comments just fills me with rage, and I will just stop at this point, or I am going to get myself banned.

Actually, I'm happy to hear, announced publicly on a national show (though a minuscule audience) what King has to say because he tells us loud and clear, just what they think of US - this is who you/we are to them!

I, for one, am glad to hear those words spoken loud and clear, on tape, I hope someone has it, so it can be replayed each and every time King notifies you in his NY House District, when he or his office calls begging for money to "run again to represent YOU!"

You can let the "good public servant of the people", that you are a part of that dark stain of American political psyche that he has had the misfortune to represent and now you're happy to help him out - OUT OF OFFICE!

Not the brightest bulb in the house. His claim to fame is being a representive when the towers went down. He thinks that gives him special status on national security matters. The fool was defending the NSA spying on Americans in the name of keeping America safe. In the meantime we had three terror incidents slip past in less than a year. Good job Peter.

Cruz’s stance has turned over a log with a lot of maggots slithering around underneath. King is one of them & he has a lot of company.

The reality is, conservatives and conservatism are NOT in the same political party as the Kings, Grahams, McCains, McConnells and Boners. We just haven’t realized that time has come to make it official.

GOPe like the role of minority? Well, they’ll love being the smallest of 3 parties.

If my country is getting flushed down the toilet, and it is, I will not share space with turds like that bunch.

Interesting tweet I just saw:

Source: @RepPeteKing bashing @tedcruz on behalf of @GovChristie #2016 #RINO @SenTedCruz #MakeDCListen #tcot #ampats #tgdn #gop

— Defend Glenn (@DefendGlenn) September 26, 2013

Makes perfect sense. One N.E. RINO douche backs another...in this case King is angling for DHS or SecDef in a Crispy Creme Christie admin.
