From the newspaper that brought you THIS GUY and said he was a Pulitzer worthy journalist.
Via The Guardian:
Senator Ted Cruz is the biggest threat to business as usual in Washington in the last 25 years – and that is a great thing for America.
His grassroots campaign for Senate in 2012 promised action, not mere talk, in addressing Obamacare and our nation’s $17tn and ever-growing debt.
Much to the chagrin of Beltway insiders, he has unapologetically delivered.
Cruz’s position was eminently reasonable. He encouraged the GOP to fund every portion of the government with the exception of the very unpopular Affordable Care Act – Obamacare’s official name.
This would allow Democrats and Republicans to then negotiate changes to a law opposed by more than 50% of Americans.
In response, Democrats chose to force a partial government shutdown and blame the GOP until it agreed to fund the law with no changes.
