| Stallmigo Ted Cruz, U.S. senator from Texas endorses right wing groups. |
Again, the Stallmigos are pushing their demands at the whims of government shutdown and a possible global destruction.
GOP Sundays offer another dose of Republican points and the denial of reality. The establishment were making the rounds on the programs and pushing this ridiculous narrative that the president is "unwilling" to work with them on a compromise.
Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) is one of the most moderate legislators in the U.S. Senate. Her proposal would require a temporary debt ceiling increase, an opening of the federal government, and a repeal on the medical device tax. The president rejected the proposal because it would advocate more gridlock once the deadline occurs.
What the president wants is a clean budget resolution and a no strings attached debt ceiling increase.
The Republicans want concessions. They want spending cuts. BIG SPENDING CUTS.
They want to repeal the healthcare law. Even though its a law and they've wasted too much time on this, they won't admit defeat, the Republicans continue on this onward path to their political destruction.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), Senator Bob Crocker (R-TN), Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) are the usual suspects on GOP Sundays.
They were worried about the impact of the political party itself. The Republicans fear that they could piss off their constituents if they take aim at Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) or give the president a win.
Sometimes, I wish the Democrats would get their message out there more. It's been swept through the Republican talking points of a perceived "liberal media bias."
Republicans could lose the House of Representatives. The CRUZade by the controversial senator has jeopardized the opportunities of Republicans to pick up seats in politically conservative states where a Democrat is in danger of losing.
