Rising Hegemon
As CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out to Cruz, he had nothing to show for his efforts — President Barack Obama’s health care reform law had not been defunded nor delayed — after 16 days of a government shutdown. Cruz, however, said that he disagreed: “Months ago, when the effort to defund Obamacare began, official Washington scoffed, they scoffed that the American people would rise up, they scoffed that the House of Representatives would do anything and they scoffed that the Senate would do anything.”Scoffing's effectiveness has certainly been underestimated.

“Never get out of the boat.” Absolutely goddamn right! Unless you were goin’ all the way… Cruz got off the boat. He split from the whole f*ckin’ program.
They scoffed at financial deregulation, they scoffed at the Iraq invasion, they scoffed at evolution deniers, they scoffed at global warming deniers, they scoffed at racists, they scoffed at homophobes, they scoffed at Fox News, they scoffed at Rush Limbaugh
But hey! You GOPers go right ahead and embrace all that stuff!
The Great and Powerful Cruz IS the man behind the mask.
It was a remarkable Pickett's Charge until they got in range of Union Artillery...
a democratic led congress would smell even vetter in the morning.
This is a very cynical reprobate with absolutely no conscience. He and Sarah Palin are like peas in a pod, except that he continued his education past 5th grade..
So the next thing Cruz did after casting his losing vote last night: blocking the next FCC chairman. Why? Because Cruz and his supporters might have to disclose more information about who's actually contributing to his reckless, feckless cause.

He nudged the T-bond market just enough for his wife's employer to make a quick killing. Goldman Suchs will be giving him a tasty corporate doggy treat.
