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.

(36,974 posts)Democratic group sends lovely fruit basket to Ted Cruz as GOP popularity plummets
Some of President Barack Obamas 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 Obamas 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 groups 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.

(37,305 posts)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.
