Want to end this quickly? Only refer to Cruz as Speaker of the House Ted Cruz.

[blm]

And NEVER call Boehner Speaker.

Seriously, in every post, in every FB reply, in photo memes, in every tweet - Speaker of the House Ted Cruz.

That simple observation will set more GOP teeth on edge in DC than anything else.

Especially if we can get left voices like Ed and Rachel to follow suit.

1. *ANYTHING* that speaks truth to their extortion. nt

[kentuck]

2. Yep!

[tkmorris]

3. I like it (nt)

[DonViejo]

4. Why even dignify him by using his first name...

Just refer to him as Speaker Cruz or, Speaker Carnival Cruz

[Skittles]

5. I prefer Carnival Cruz

[blm]

21. Ahem....That would be SPEAKER Carnival Cruz, to you, young lady.

; )

[LTR]

6. No

Speaker of the House Rafael Cruz.

[blm]

10. heheh

.

[Yupy]

7. Speaker Rafael Cruz ---and he didn't supported imigration...

[mazzarro]

8. Maybe Address Him As Senator Ted Cruz

That way it will be obvious that he is in the Senate and at the same time masquerading as the House Speaker. Just to rile up House members (both ReThugs and Democrats) more than ever.

14. Maybe "Senate Minority Leader Cruz"

perhaps that would penetrate the turtleshell.

[KamaAina]

9. Speaker of the House Ted Cruz

is even crazier than Agent Orange.

[Rene]

11. It's Speaker of the House Rafael Cruz

[kelliekat44]

12. This would really get their pants in a wad. nt

[Voice for Peace]

13. Yes. Speaker of the House Ted Cruz.

it's a good idea and has probably already caught on.

[blm]

17. Been using it on FB -

I can only hope. hehe

[90-percent]

15. Tail Gunner Ted

One of Joe McCarthy's nicknames.

-90%

[joshcryer]

16. I like it

[cali]

18. seriously, this is silly.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

19. Too esoteric

[arthritisR_US]

20. How about Canadian Speaker of the House? n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. The GOP might as well just nominate him to be Speaker.

The Speaker need not be an elected member of the House.

Why have a Speaker who merely enables the teabaggers when they could have a teabagger himself?

[Coyotl]

23. Why fall for their ruse? Place the blame where the blame goes, Boehner!

This guy isn't allowing the House to vote on a clean bill:



Why become a co-conspirator in deflecting the blame from someone up for re-election to a freshman Senator in a red state who does not answer to the voters until 5 years from now?

You have fallen into their trap!

[blm]

24. Not really - Boehner LOVES the position of Speaker, but, doesn't want to do the work

feeling entitled to the job without doing the heavy lifting. I only know that if Cruz keeps being called Speaker for using HIS weight with house members that Boehner is afraid of, it might light a fire under Boehner to actually start doing the lifting he is supposed to be doing.
