Ted Cruz not liked for IMMIGRATION

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/1...n_4084819.html




if you think about it, if the House had passed an immigration reform bill and some other stuff (like background checks) they would not look so moronic right now.Moronic yes, but at least productive morons.

From all accounts that I've seen it's Cruz Missile Ted's government shutdown crusade that has overshadowed the glitches in the federal ACA website.

I don't have any proof but like you I'm wondering how many of those radicalized Koched up cadres are sitting in their Mom's basements performing flood attacks against the website.

The group had come all the way from Russia; part of a foreign-exchange program set up by Congress to show off the virtues of American democracy.
But when they got here, neither Congress nor American democracy was having its best day.
.................................................

Still, the Russians liked Washington itself. The city. In interviews with four of them, they said the capital was surprisingly green with trees, unlike big Russian cities. Washingtonians were very polite. And — even in a time when the government was supposed to be shut down — the streets were clean and the shops were open.
The shutdown felt like a holiday, they said, rather than a catastrophe.
Eduard Temnov, an educator from a city near Moscow, chuckled and told a joke in Russian. He had realized: What he was witnessing in Washington wasn’t actually democracy!
It was actually a highly advanced vision of soci@lism. Here was what the old theorists had promised: a society functioning on its own, with no leaders in charge.
“Maybe you will come to communism soon!” he said. “No government ... but people are still managing!”
The good news, for the Russians is that they leave Washington on Friday. For the next week, small groups of them will fan out across the country, and observe local governments in action.

LOL!!!

And I say all that with great sadness. I was always an Eisenhower republican in my views.

Rush was the cheerleader for what McCain just called “one of the more shameful chapters I have seen in the years I have spent here in the Senate.”

For 50 million a year I would make up a whole bunch of lies to spew on the radio to a bunch of kool aid drinkers too. You sure as hell ain't going to get paid that kind of money to be honest.
