Does Ted Cruz Have A Memory Problem?

[JakeStarkey]

You mean Ol' Senator Shutdown Hold em (Texas)?

We have seen make himself no longer a contender, along with Huckabee and perhaps my favorite, Christie.

We in the GOP are holding our candidates to a higher standing. About time.

Christie? The bully who use a helicopter to see his sons soccer game and closed the GW Bridge?

That's what is being said.

Maybe Hillary will select him as her VP?

It would be more likely for HRC to select you, Frank. You are the best disinformation agent on the Board that left has, next to Yurt.

Even the senile Bob Schieffer got it. Yesterday on CBS:

“Throughout the government shutdown I opposed a government shutdown. I said we shouldn’t shut the government down, I think it was a mistake that President Obama and the Democrats shut the government down this fall...

BOB SCHIEFFER: --if you didn't threaten to shut down the government, who was it that did? I mean, but we'll go on--

SEN. TED CRUZ: It was Harry Reid and President Obama.

Dude...the whole world knows you did it! I'll bet even your mother blames you!

It’s not a ‘memory problem,’ it’s that Cruz is a liar.

There's no better liar than this guy.... he's even taken top place...

If Obabble had compromised no shutdown would have happened...

*sigh* He did compromise.

He just didn't agree to gut Obamacare.

Really? And what exactly did Obama offer?

So it's Cruz's fault that Obama refuses to negotiate?

 

[Synthaholic]

If Obabble had compromised no shutdown would have happened...

He isn't required to compromise.

And tonight Jon Stewart showed a stream of Republicans from the past 2 years all saying they wanted to shut down the government.

You lose, dope.

 

[Synthaholic]

CBS should explain why it felt it appropriate to edit out a high profile senator accusing the President of the United States of targeting his politcal enemies. These are strong accusations leveled at the president, and CBS’s viewers deserve to hear them, yet strangely they were not.

Because Ted Cruz is just a clown whom no one with any sense takes seriously. And he's only high-profile because of his clowning antics. He's just a freshman Senator who should STFU and let the adults talk.

Yeah heaven forbid the man elected to be our leader actually try to lead us.

Good thing Obamacare gutted itself.

Is that what they are saying inside the bubble?

Ooh - I have to save this for when you are supporting and defending him in a few years.

Because I love to save your stupidest posts:

If Republicans really wanted him to lead, they would follow behind him instead of trying to trip him with every step.

Memo to the White House: The website may be fixed, but President Barack Obama's new health insurance markets have yet to win over most consumers.

Negative perceptions of the health care rollout have eased, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds. But overall, two-thirds of Americans say things still aren't going well.

Of those who've tried to sign up, or who live with someone who has, 71 percent have encountered problems. But the share reporting success jumped to 40 percent from a meager 24 percent in December.

"Everything is not perfect; it takes time to work out the glitches," said Carol Lyles, a homecare provider from Los Angeles who was able to get coverage as a result of the law. "If done right, I believe it will provide the services that are needed."

The poll comes with about 60 days left in open enrollment season. The administration is playing catch-up to meet its goal of signing up 7 million people in new insurance exchanges that offer subsidized private coverage to middle-class households. So far, the markets have attracted an older crowd that tends to be more costly to cover. Younger people in the coveted 18-34 age group are still mainly on the sidelines.

While the poll did not find a turnaround for "Obamacare," the trend offers some comfort for supporters of the health care law.

In December, 76 percent of adults had said the opening of the new markets was not going well. Such negative perceptions have now fallen 10 points to 66 percent.

Still, rave reviews remain rare.

Only 4 percent said things were going extremely or very well, while another 17 percent said things were going somewhat well.

That's a perfect example of why Fox News is vitally important.

They provide witness to the way things REALLY are and not according to a warped Leftist/Progressive set of rose colored glasses.

Here is an article by the brilliant Thomas Sowell that will explain the whole thing to you.

Who Shut Down the Government?

Even when it comes to something as basic, and apparently as simple and straightforward, as the question of who shut down the federal government, there are diametrically opposite answers, depending on whether you talk to Democrats or to Republicans.

There is really nothing complicated about the facts. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted all the money required to keep all government activities going — except for ObamaCare.

This is not a matter of opinion. You can check the Congressional Record.

As for the House of Representatives' right to grant or withhold money, that is not a matter of opinion either. You can check the Constitution of the United States. All spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives, which means that Congressmen there have a right to decide whether or not they want to spend money on a particular government activity.

Whether ObamaCare is good, bad or indifferent is a matter of opinion. But it is a matter of fact that members of the House of Representatives have a right to make spending decisions based on their opinion.

ObamaCare is indeed "the law of the land," as its supporters keep saying, and the Supreme Court has upheld its Constitutionality.

But the whole point of having a division of powers within the federal government is that each branch can decide independently what it wants to do or not do, regardless of what the other branches do, when exercising the powers specifically granted to that branch by the Constitution.

The hundreds of thousands of government workers who have been laid off are not idle because the House of Representatives did not vote enough money to pay their salaries or the other expenses of their agencies — unless they are in an agency that would administer ObamaCare.

Since we cannot read minds, we cannot say who — if anybody — "wants to shut down the government." But we do know who had the option to keep the government running and chose not to. The money voted by the House of Representatives covered everything that the government does, except for ObamaCare.

The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that he wants a "clean" bill from the House of Representatives, and some in the media keep repeating the word "clean" like a mantra. But what is unclean about not giving Harry Reid everything he wants?

If Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to accept the money required to run the government, because it leaves out the money they want to run ObamaCare, that is their right. But that is also their responsibility.

You cannot blame other people for not giving you everything you want. And it is a fraud to blame them when you refuse to use the money they did vote, even when it is ample to pay for everything else in the government.

When Barack Obama keeps claiming that it is some new outrage for those who control the money to try to change government policy by granting or withholding money, that is simply a bald-faced lie. You can check the history of other examples of "legislation by appropriation" as it used to be called.

Whether legislation by appropriation is a good idea or a bad idea is a matter of opinion. But whether it is both legal and not unprecedented is a matter of fact.

Perhaps the biggest of the big lies is that the government will not be able to pay what it owes on the national debt, creating a danger of default. Tax money keeps coming into the Treasury during the shutdown, and it vastly exceeds the interest that has to be paid on the national debt.

Even if the debt ceiling is not lifted, that only means that government is not allowed to run up new debt. But that does not mean that it is unable to pay the interest on existing debt.

None of this is rocket science. But unless the Republicans get their side of the story out — and articulation has never been their strong suit — the lies will win. More important, the whole country will lose.

And if you don't bother reading it and try arguing your same bullshit again later you will wonder why so many posters are increasingly starting to treat you with disrespect.

It's because your audience got smarter by reading the stuff I post. And you refuse.

And guess who is the loser?
