Ted Cruz Smacks Down Candy Crowley for Saying 'It's Blackmail' to Offer Separate Funding Bills
Newsbusters ^ | October 6, 2013

Posted on 10/06/2013 3:03:28 PM PDT by SMGFan

CRUZ: But Candy, let me press back. It's twice you've said Harry Reid would say it's blackmail. And I want to press back, because I actually -- I think that's a false claim with no basis. The bill that the House passed on the VA simply funds the VA. It doesn't mention anything about Obamacare. It doesn't mention anything about anything else. Now, for hundreds of years, the way Congress is appropriated has been one topic at a time. How is it blackmail to say we think we should fund the veterans? Do you agree? That's a yes or no vote. Now Harry Reid refuses to let the Democrats vote on that. But how is it blackmail to say, we may not agree on everything but is there anything we can agree on? We ought to agree on supporting our veterans.

Candy is a hack for the Communist Party...like most members of the media.

Candy Crowley is fatter than ever and uglier than ever. I don’t see how she waddles up to the desk where she sits.

Yes. We should start calling her the "iceberg".

Two-thirds is below the desk.

[There was a Quebecois talk-show host in the seventies, Lise Payette, of Crowlian proportions who was referred to as such]. L'iceberg as they put it.

Thanks. It was fun to watch Cruz kick her butt.

He couldn't miss.

Crowley’s continued employment at CNN is her reward for being a good not-so-little Marxist during last Fall’s presidential debate.

Agreed. She is absolutely horrible at this job. This is the best CNN can do? Cruz demolished her amateur crap without breaking a sweat. She was sweating a lot, though I imagine that happens a lot at her resting heart rate.

And why does she still have a job after her debate against Mitt Romney?

Because her bosses at CNN were delighted when she helped Obastard cheat in that debate?

Cruz defends himself against Candy...but Candy has no shame.

She ends with the insult, "do think you have hurt the Republican Party brand?"

With liberals (particularly the liberal press), reality and truth have no resonance. They are sure of themselves--fact and truth be d@mned.

This is why they are a difficult enemy. They are intellectual dishonest and don't seem to even notice. Their minds are absolutely closed!

They appear to be brainwashed and beyond all reason. The question is who brainwashed them and what was their process. Obama relied heavily on neuro-linguistic programming techniques (pacing and leading) in speeches to his followers...but exactly who indoctrinated the press...and when.

Because millions of conservatives keep paying those cable and satellite bills every month instead of doing all they can to cut funding to media organizations that hate you. But hey, fake reality shows and sports are more important than cutting CNN and MSNBC’S lifeline.

This biotch, Creepy Crawley, should have been put into her place at the presidential debate when she tagged herself into the ring against Romney. Good to see Cruz stand up to her, she’s a bully and an intellectual lightweight like Obama and when conservatives fight back – liberals lose.

It’s blackmail for Harry, Barry, and the press to say it’s blackmail. It’s really the law as Barry would say. The law of the land is for the House of Representatives to send bills over for a vote and for the Senate to vote and then if it is approved to send it to the president to sign or not to sign. It’s quite simple. Alas, the blackmailers want a pork bill with everything for everybody in it. They don’t care about what is best for the country. They care about their power over the people. They wanna know everything about everybody. They wanna control everything about everybody. The blackmailers need to be shut down.

Candy is the one who shut down Benghazi talk. She is a tool.

I kind of thought Candy Crowley was an ok reporter and sorry to say but the liberal network assigned her to cover republicans because she is fat and depressing.

But then in the debate with Romney, how much of a reporter do you need to be to realize that in a friggin presidential debate you do NOT get involved and start saying one or the other is right. I mean it’s preposterous that she didn’t know to say “that’s between you two and for the American people to decide, I’m here to moderate”.

So unfortunately after she did what she did in that debate I have to say she’s dirt.

Of course why republicans are in debates moderated by CNN is a good question too.

You kidding? After that debate, Obama awarded Candy the Order of the Red Banner of Labour!

Good catch, the resemblance to Candy Cowley(sic) is striking!

I love Cruz! My dream would be Cruz for 8 years followed by an appointment by Ted Nugent to the Supreme Court.
I can dream right?
