The GOP is really, really pissed at Ted Cruz (R-TX), the Senator leading the charge on defunding ObamaCare—or at least the one who was leading the charge until the House GOP actually passed a continuing resolution defunding ObamaCare and sent it to the Senate, where it’s now Cruz’s problem, at which point Cruz suddenly left something in his car and would you excuse him for a moment?
Anonymous GOP staffers and then fellow lawmakers spent Thursday and Friday taking shots at him, but things seriously escalated Sunday morning, when Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace said he had received opposition research in advance of Cruz’s appearance—from other Republicans.Wallace patiently but relentlessly grilled Cruz over how he intended to get the defunding CR through the Senate, as he only had the votes to stop cloture, which would mean filibustering his own bill and shutting down the government. Cruz repeatedly answered that if the government did hang a gone-to-lunch sign on the Capitol doors, it would all be thanks to Senate Majority Leader of Jerks Harry Reid’s use of “brute political power.”Wallace didn’t buy this for a second. “You say this is ‘brute political power,’” Wallace said. “It’s Senate Rule 22.”
even with evidence on tape those monday morning spinners tried to take it down like alls well in mudville except the pesky thing they seem to always forget, "IT'S ON VIDEO TAPE, STUPID". you could see Wallace getting really pissed, as if he was tired of the republican elephant dung, if so good for him.
Mike Lee’s appearance on Meet the Press didn’t go any better. David Gregory pressed the Utah Senator on whether he had the votes to pass the continuing resolution through the Senate, and when Lee tried to evade the question, Gregory wouldn’t let him. (I know! David Gregory!) This forced Lee to claim they had the votes, though he could only account for forty-six at the most, solely enough to deny cloture.Even that was likely an overestimate; he was counting the forty-five Republican Senators who once voted to defund ObamaCare, though in that case the defunding was not tied to a continuing resolution to keep the government open, and thus was purely a symbolic vote. In short, when Lee said “We have support in the Senate,” it appears he meant “We don’t have support in the Senate.”
Finally, Representative Matt Salmon, who’d voted in the House for the continuing resolution to defund the ACA, showed up for a lecture at Face the Nation. “This is not the land of wishful thinking,”Bob Schieffer explained to him, in the key of Keep-Your-Hands-Off-My-Granddaughter.
scheming to deny you that has been their self proclaimed job since '08, they say they are doing it to Pres. but anything they deny him they deny you that my friends is the real trickle down and it's not a theory.
