I guess the Aussies never heard of a filibuster.

And it was Obama and Harry Reid who “shut down” the government. Cruz and the rest of the Republicans were burning the midnight oil trying to keep the government open while the democrats were a no show.

Also, only 17% of the government was shut down during the so-called “shut down.”

So...some leftwing Skippy disses Cruz as a right winger who opposes Obamacare. Oh the horror!

Ted’s all choked up. They don’t like him in Down Under.

17% of a goobermint that's probably grown by 200 constant dollar percent in the last 30 years.

Trouble is, many Americans don’t know what a filibuster is either; and their vote counts as much as thoe who do know what it is...

And the writer has a point...all Hilary Clinton has to do is show clips of the exhausted Cruz reading ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ and the people who don’t make politics a big part of their lives are going to say ‘This guy is a blithering idiot, why would I vote him for president?’...
