I think Obama should not negotiate on anything until a clean CR is passed....
you do not want this set as precedent.

An end to the sequester would be a decent achievement...............but not at the price of blackmail.


One good thing: Cruz will never be President....and you can probably say that about Rand Paul too. I think Cruz has just Joe McCarthied himself. McCarthy kind of spread his Big Lie out over a few years if I am not mistaken. Cruz has lit himself on fire and burnt out like a Roman Candle on the 5th of July.

In the Navy during a fire drill there would be fake dead casualties you did not have to medically treat because they were burned to death already. We called them "crispy critters". Dave I know you had to have heard that term lol.

Ted Cruz is a crispy critter about now. If he puts his tail between his legs, shuts up and goes back to the Senate and sits at the feet of McCain for a few years he may come back. Buy he will never be President. Not after this.
I'm afraid that you over-estimate the attention span of the voters.

Regards,

D-Ray

I'm with Ice on this. Cruz is now as politically effective and esteemed as Bachmann and Palin. His Senate colleagues hate him and will join in undermining any of his future narcissistic ploys.

This Is Why Shutting Down The Government Was Dumb

The GOP is alienating normal Joe Six-pack who works at the nearest military base....

Hating Obamacare has translated into making a moderate Republican late on his mortgage.

Wait till the feds are forced to lay off a sizable percentage due to forced budget cuts.

Yup, the sequester is one black eye for the 'Pubbies but this one is a flat nose, split lips and the other eye gouged out. All self inflicted. Can't say they don't deserve it, tho.
