Is it too early to close nominatins and give the MVP award to


Senator Cruz and Representative Boehner as the Most Valuable Senator and Congressman in the legislature this year?

Really there isn't anything that any of our guys could do to advance our cause more than these guys.

They are helping to build a generational change. They are helping us recruit congressional candidates, they are depressing recruitment on their side. They are turning off every one under the age of 42 to the Republican Party.

The latest poll shows that only 49% of the Republican Party agrees with their action.

These are Hall of Fame numbers.

Remember when DU sent flowers to Helen Thomas.

Wouldn't it be funny as hell to flood their offices with flowers of gratitude from DU for advancing our interests.

Cruz would be for Senator and Boehner for Congressman.

They are worth any 5 of ours.

Democratic group sends lovely fruit basket to Ted Cruz as GOP popularity plummets

Some of President Barack Obama’s closest allies sent a nice fruit basket to one of the most prominent faces of the deeply unpopular congressional Republicans.

Americans United For Change announced it had sent the gift to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose insistence on tying funding for the Affordable Care Act to funding for the federal government helped lead to the current shutdown.

Recent polls have shown the GOP favorability ratings have plunged to all-time lows for any political party, while Obama’s popularity has risen slightly and support for his signature health care law has grown.

“Dear Ted,” said the card on the fruit and snack basket sent by the group’s president, Brad Woodhouse. “A Texas sized thank you!! Thanks to you, Obamacare is more popular and the GOP is less so. Keep up the Good Work!! Yours, Americans United for Change.”

We are turning off people who look to government as the solution. It all looks so bad and sounds obnoxious.

I used to love politics, but lately I just want to bang heads together and tell them to shut up and don't leave til they agree on something that is long term enough for us to not have to go through this again.

tweeted:

Dear TaxedEnoughAirheads. Your mission is accomplished. Congrats on destruction of the GOP thanks to @DanaRohrabacher and his ilk. Onward!"

his reply:

Dana Rohrabacher ‏@DanaRohrabacher

@sleeplessinSoCal If U were saying good things about our efforts I'd know we must be doing something wrong. Sure U want a strong GOP, sure

replied:

@DanaRohrabacher I'm merely observing the breakdown. Finally doing something for my benefit. Thanks. Onward!

and I tweeted final thoughts....

@DanaRohrabacher who is "U"? I'm just enjoying results of TP action on GOP. Hope for rebirth of Repubs & reason.

@DanaRohrabacher @CerebralGuild Dana's GOP stands 4 #GreedyOverstayedPlutocrats. Only a TP plutocrat thinks defaulting doesn't harm people.
