WASHINGTON -- In a stunning attack on a leader of his own party, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying to him and said he couldn't be trusted. Cruz, a Texan who is running for president but ranks low in early polling, delivered the broadside in a speech on the Senate floor, an extraordinary departure from the norms of Senate behavior that demand courtesy and respect. At issue are assurances Cruz claimed McConnell, R-Ky., had given that there was no deal to allow a vote to renew the federal Export-Import Bank - a little-known federal agency that has become a rallying cry for conservatives. Cruz rose to deliver his remarks moments after McConnell had lined up a vote on the Export-Import Bank for coming days.

McConnell, you slimy git!
I’m sure the Obama Regime has blackmail material on McConnell and I have a general idea what it is.
I good POTUS would try to build his own coalition in Congress. Including behind the scenes support for Congressional Leadership posts.
A big Wednesday night Kitchen poker game a mix of both party congress critters and Viola! You’ve just created a kitchen cabinet, Super congress committee, and a direct feed into Congress that bypasses disloyal or malcontent party leaders.
That would suck the wind out of the sails of the congressional leadership.
THANK YOU Ted Cruz for standing up to the duplicity of the mendacious GOP “leadership”!!!!
DITCH MITCH

And BOOT BOEHNER
Here is the video... must watch
There are no unbiased polls. I used to work at a survey research center.
There were NO questions on ANY of their political surveys which a Conservative could answer without selecting for the Liberal response or seeming to sympathize with Liberal views.
All political questions (and MOST others) were written so that no possible answer would count as anything BUT a Liberal/Liberal sympathizing response.
The only questions which Conservatives COULD answer directly and honestly and be counted AS Conservatives, were written so that selecting the Conservative response would put the respondent in the worst possible light.
These questions were worded so that NO Liberal could even inadvertently answer as a Conservative, AND also… to guarantee Conservative data would appear as strictly consistent with the established and negative, Liberal prejudices representing Conservatism in America.
I DO NOT do surveys!
Trump’s philosophy of taking no prisoners is taking hold. Way to go Sen. Cruz. Recall how GWB, practically rolled over in a fetal position when ridiculed by RATS, Schumer, Pelosi, Kerry, Rid et al.
Do you need any more evidence that the GOPE folks are just like the Democrates? I refuse to vote for another liberal republican!!!!
Cruz has always been good but maybe a little of Trump is rubbing off on him and making him even bolder. Go Ted

What a lame response
Cruz to the White House 2016!
It’s not be too far back that Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) told us Boehner was a liar. I think it was about the procedural vote on the Cromnibus. Boehner told Stuzman if he voted yea on the procedural vote he wouldn’t bring up the Cromnibus for a vote.
Glad to see some have the principles to speak up.
Thanks for the video link. Cruz is GOOD!
Great, thanks!
Oh well now, that just cuts me to the quick, don’tcha know! ;)
LOL!
