Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Did Ted Cruz just hand Dems control of the house???

True. He's scared because of the phone calls he has been getting. Those calls said to grow some balls. He's trying to act like he's gotten the clue, before his next election is due and I expect there will be many more because a lot more folks are getting pissed.

Unfortunately, mine have. Both of them promised to screw us over royally, and they've been doing their best.

No, mainly based on the map of the next election.

Did Ted Cruz just hand Dems control of the house??? [Re: RobJordan] Maybe the dumbest question posed during this whole episode.

How to react to a near L-shaped ambush:

This was not an ambush but a self inflicted wound. Now it is infected and turning into gangrene. Time to amputate the limb! The stench is overwhelming!

Too funny!

Conservatives are winning the battle. People are leaving both parties in doves. Independents now make up 47% of the electorate.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats lost in this mash up. The conservative ideology was championed though and it's winning minds.

How can a "small minority in the house and Senate" accomplish this much disruption if they weren't getting HUGE support from the masses.

This so called epic win for the Democrats cost the President yet another point in his approval ratings.

Minds that aren't handling the left handed cigarette!!!



Take care, Willie

You really believe this? Do you live in a cave? When you are standing in a pile of crap you can pretend that it's a flower garden but the bottom line is you still stink! Keep repeating that this was a victory and if you say it loud enough and long enough it will come true!


Geeee...

For sure. A Dimocrap woman called in to Hannity radio and said she is a Tea Party member and knows of many other Dimocrats joining the Tea.

That there is the extent of your knowledge on current events.

This thing is already passed and opening - assuming it was ever on the average American voter's radar in the first place, which I doubt.

Dullards like you ain t ever gonna get it. I don t expect you to get it. I don t care if you ever get it.
Ted will bear the brunt of the blame by the government run media because they fear his leadership ability. He took on a Herculean task of trying to knock some sense into the senseless. Dipschmidts like you will remain dipschmidts, but those of us that work with otherwise life long dems are seeing the light come on about the massive destructive power grab that is obamacare.
As the obama brownshirts showed their true colors barricading public places, as had never been done in any of the other numerous shutdowns, many lights went on in the heads of those union type people. Not all mind you, but don t forget that the leadership of the AFL/CIO was howling mad about the destructive nature of obamacare just as the shutdown started.
Ted did about as much as he could have considering he had no podium in the msm to state the facts and the fact that those in charge of his own party are criminal Dem operatives.
Kudos to my Sen Johnson for standing on the principals he campaigned on

step out into the real world and learn a thing or two.

ask anyone, liberal or conservative, "is the government too big or too small?" Almost everyone will say it's too big.

It's as simple as that...

Nice to hear form you NWA. Did they install free wi-fi down at the Two Potato?

Cruz discovers the fringe benefits of failure
10/17/13 10:45 AM

By Steve Benen

The recent political turmoil in Washington was multifaceted and involved quite a few personalities, motivations, and working parts. No one person was ultimately responsible for the entire nightmare.

But if we were to focus in on one main culprit, it�s safe to say Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) would lead the list of suspects. He spent the August recess demanding his party follow his shutdown plan; he offered leadership to House Republicans; the right-wing senator even made himself the public face of this fiasco with a 21-hour speech that served no legislative purpose, but made it easy for Ted Cruz to celebrate his fondness for Ted Cruz.

The freshman Republican became so notorious that when he campaigned for Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia a couple of weeks ago, the gubernatorial hopeful didn�t want any photographs taken of the two of them together.

But let�s not miss the forest for the trees. Cruz led his party into a ditch and drew the ire of Republicans who blame him for his misguided crusade, but the far-right Texan appears to still be in the midst of a long con.

If you were curious, talking on television for 21 straight hours is very lucrative. Over the last quarter, Ted Cruz�s still-young political action committee pulled in $797,000 during the period that included his extended C-SPAN advertorial. It�s nearly twice what Cruz pulled in the quarter prior. [�]

His October report, which covers July 1 to September 30, notes that his PAC has $378,000 on-hand after the nearly $800,000 haul, money that will be used to support conservative candidates and issues close to Cruz�s heart.

Cruz isn�t making many friends among his Senate colleagues; he has no prospects for actually passing bills; and he�s cultivated a public reputation as a dangerous extremist. This may seem like a poor combination, but the senator clearly doesn�t see it that way.

While pushing his party over a cliff, Cruz has also positioned himself as a guy capable of winning straw polls, quickly raising a lot of money, and collecting a massive new database of conservative donors and activists � which may come in handy if a certain someone intends to launch a bid for national office in a couple of years.

Cruz�s party shut down the government and caused a debt-ceiling crisis for reasons that still don�t make any sense, leading to a surrender in which Republicans gained nothing. In fact, it was worse than nothing � the GOP has seen its support collapse, ending up with a deal that could have been better for the party had it been less ridiculous weeks ago.

But from Cruz�s perspective, these developments, while unfortunate, are a small price to pay for advancing his personal ambitions.

So...You are placing the Ted Cruz melt down and its importance to the Yetti Bear? Sad

Doesn't NBC stand for "Nothing But Crap"?

You say I'm stupid, yet you support those who say your southern border is more secure than ever before and put up warning signs against getting near the border?

You want to be able to have a gun but support those who would take them away?

I know, makes perfect sense to you.

Sometimes there is just no hope for some. But kudos to you for trying. But I sure wouldn't lose no sleep over it. Ya gotta take it from the source sometimes!!
