However . . . They followed Cruz!

[madashelltoo]

Say what they may after shutting down the government to the tune of 24 billion dollars, and taking the world to the last financial hour; they ALL followed him. Their votes were consistently unanimous in lock step behind a man many of them knew offered an option that would not work. Rep. King(NY), Senators McCain and Graham and others voted with the crowd, now are saying, "I told you so." Does that make what they did okay? So, if we go to hell following a crazy man whose fault is it? Come to the rescue at the last minute does not excuse their behavior for me.

"THEY FOLLOWED HIM!"

2. Yup!

You want your Kool Aid in a China or paper cup?

9. Ted Cruz: The Jim Jones of the Republican Party

The "We Must Destroy our Country in Order to Save It" Wing of the GOP.

Must be said and said often.

3. All while accusing the Dems of exactly the same thing....

IDK how many times I've heard the RWNJs howling about the vast Democrat(ic) conspiracy to denounce/defeat them and wondered just when the Dems actually voted as unanimously as the Repubs. This was a time when they did, thankfully. It saddens me that it happens so seldom.

4. you give him too much credit...

If he did not have power backing him, we wouldn't know his name. Maybe he's getting groomed for 2016.

5. Perhaps I have.

However, all the public sees is him. Bring out the power behind him; Heritage an n'em, and I'll say the same thing. They followed them.

6. he could be...

their next dream boy....he and Sarah Palin...what a ticket! I guess we all know how bad this could go, but I don't want to engage in the hype....as I just have.

7. Naw, you're still cool

But it momentarily tasted good, didn't it?

[stillcool]

8. not really..that's my problem

Those ideas leave a bad taste...I can think of much sweeter things.
