Cruz heckled during ‘Defund Obamacare’ event: ‘You have health care, so can we!’

[JRLeft]

Hecklers confronted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during a Tuesday Heritage Action event in support of defunding President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

After Cruz told members of the Dallas audience that he would be willing to shut down the government to in order to stop Obamacare, at least two people stood up and began yelling at him.

“You have health care, so can we!” they shouted.

“Gentlemen, thank you for sharing your views,” Cruz replied. “You know, part of the First Amendment is about respecting the views of others.”

As officers removed the protesters, the crowd responded by drowning them out with chants of “USA! USA! USA!”

Cruz used the opportunity to insist that he agreed with the men, but “Obamacare is causing more and more people struggling to climb the economic latter to lose their health care.”

1. "economic latter"?

Is that a play on words?

2. What a complete liar.

These people behind him that support him, know that Obamacare hasn't even really been started yet, except for a few provisions...(which I just read more repubs used than Dems)don't they? So how could this quote be true? “Obamacare is causing more and more people struggling to climb the economic latter [sic]to lose their health care.”

3. Why don't more people on that side of the aisle REALIZE THAT?!?!

OMG. I'm glad the bulb is slowly starting to warm but Jeez oh Pete is it taking FOR-EVER!!

And what the hell is with the USA USA USA chants? Are we supposed to be proud to be intolerant, ignorant assholes now?
Is that what it means to be an American?

4. What I inferred

from the "USA! USA!" chants is that they're trying to say one is somehow unAmerican if they dislike Ted (aka. Rafael) Cruz.
