"TOO CRAZY" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER

Tweet from Matt Drudge:

CRUZ LOSES... http://t.co/K7uBFNtWvY

The link goes to a Breitbart story in which Ted Cruz is quoted as saying that he won't hold up the Senate vote on the budget deal. The comments mostly fall into two categories. One set of Breitbartniks think Cruz is a great patriot who was stabbed in the back:

Cruz stuck by his promises, that doesn't sound like a loser to me.

****

He isn't finished yet. Cruz 2016

****

Cruz loses? The United States of America lost. Statesmen get it. Politicians don't.

****

The welfare people are a parasite on the nation. They feed of others because their too fat, lazy and stupid to do anything else. Cruz/Paul 2016.

****

According to the LAW, last time Cruz HAD A CHANCE, and 23 Rep turned against him. This time because he has no LEGAL chance of winning so will not waste America' time. Cruz for President!

****

Cruz is speaking for a VERY LARGE majority of AMERICANS so to attack him is to attack the AMERICAN people!!!! No it wasn't Cruz who lost...it was the AMERICAN people who have lost again because of greed, incompetence, and the dumdumcants refusal to live under the same laws (obozocare) they enforce on everyone else!!!!

****

Whatever, his own party won't back him, what can he do.
At least he let us know who all the cowards are

****

Cruz woke up Americans and believe me, we won't forget it.

****

If it wasn't for Cruz & Lee this discussion would not be happening.
I see some are saying it is over, they lost.
In any strategy there is an opening move.
The fighting has just begun.

Another group thinks he wasn't crazy enough:

Senator Cruz, what happen to your backbone. The American people don't like Obamacare and the GOP caves in to the liberals once again. Remember the voters will speak loud and clear in 2014. We want leaders that listen to us and don't cave in.

****

Cruz is just another squish rino it appears.

****

IF CRUZ really believed what he was saying all along about Obamacare being the death knell for this country, he would have BLOCKED this. He is obviously a RINO who swindled and hoodwinked the rest of the Tea Party. And as another person mentioned, his WIFE works for Goldman Sachs. I'm certain that helped sway his UNPRINCIPLED OPINION.

****

Everyone knows Cruz is all bluster and no actual accomplishment. He is a zero. An asterisk in the history books at best.

That's the range of opinion in the GOP voter base: from far right to even further right. No acknowledgment that this was an insane thing to do to the country, or that Republicans have to compromise with Democrats in order for representative government to function.

This is what right-wing rabble-rousing has done to democracy. Weep for your country, sane Americans.
