Is Dana Milbank – one of the Washington Compost’s many leftist columnists – really a girly man or do you think he’s just pretending?
"Finally, Senate Republicans are standing up to the bully who terrorized them the past two and a half years — and they’re finding out he isn’t so tough, after all. After Cruz on the Senate floor Friday called his fellow Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), a liar, his GOP colleagues have moved swiftly to shut down his antics. They voted in large numbers to renew the Export-Import Bank (McConnell’s scheduling of the vote, opposed by Cruz, is what prompted Cruz to accuse McConnell of lying) and they thwarted Cruz and his sidekick, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), on poison-pill amendments to the highway bill..."
A bully who “terrorized” Republicans? How did he do that, exactly? By threatening to wipe entire nations off the earth, like Iran has done – a country John Boehner et al. are more than willing to negotiate with? Or did he perhaps create a little army of radicals who are ready and willing to behead anyone who disagrees with the dear Senator from Texas?
Why no. Of course not. All Cruz did was standing up for conservative principles. That’s it. He was elected by the people of Texas; they wanted him to actually behalve like a principled conservative… and that’s exactly what he has done.
Apparently, that’s enough nowadays to accuse someone of ‘terrorizing’ and of being a ‘bully.’ In the real world, where real men live, the entire notion is laughable, but Dana Milbank lives in the Washington bubble so he actually thinks that nagging and whining like a disgruntled little girl makes people sympathize with him.

That’s great. I only wish he had a Jean Arthur in his corner. I suspect he’s alone on Capitol Hill.
Boo hoo. More garbage.
He writes for the same paper that put Herbloc cartoons on the front page and bullied Republicans for years.
Diana [Milhouse ain’t no man.]
Typical leftist lies... The war matters more than the battle, and the imex-bank lost the war because it didn’t pass in the house. The leadership of Cruz helped play a role in bringing it down.
I’d rather “lose” like this than win like McConnel’s re-election.
Our founding fathers saw speaking the truth in the face of opposition as a thing of honor, not bullying.
The thing today is people are easily offended for speaking the truth or asking for truth.
Bingo
In other words, telling the truth has become a revolutionary act.
Of course, the beta male whines about people “bullying”.
Ted Cruz Ping!
