I think it is safe to say that the leadership of the House, as well as a good portion of the Republican caucus, is downright angry with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
Sen. Cruz has been at the front of the parade calling on the House to defund ObamaCare, but as soon as Speaker Boehner announced their plan to do so, Cruz said, “[Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid will strip the defund language. At that point, House Republicans must stand firm.” That’s not what the House Republicans were expecting from Sen. Cruz. They were expecting him to lead a filibuster of any effort to strip the defunding language.
And now a lot of Republican House members and staff are taking to Twitter to blast the crap out of Cruz. But, you know, as Malcolm X once said, “The chickens always come home to roost.” When you tell lie upon lie upon lie about ObamaCare, eventually a day of reckoning comes. That day is nearly upon us. What they have is a great big bag of the bullshit lies they’ve been telling, and they’re tossing it back and forth from the House to the Senate like a hot potato. They’re both going to be left holding the bag.
