Ted Cruz (R-Hubris) , who has done for the Republican brand what Karen Handel did for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, has given a big ol country boy howdy to a plan by the House to kick the debt limit fiscal can six weeks down the road.:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Thursday that he supported the House GOPs plan for a temporary debt-limit increase, hoping it would help refocus the government shutdown debate on stopping Obamacare.
Youll notice that Teds not talking about about ending the government shutdown (Sorry, cancer kids! But not really
), hes only making sure that the entire global financial world doesnt collapse around everyones ears next week which undoubtedly would make things a little awkward in the Executive Lunchroom at his wifes job. But, please Ted, tell us how your party will put these next six weeks to good use:
My understanding is that this is being driven by House conservatives who are quite reasonably saying listen, lets focus on Obamacare, on winning the fight on Obamacare, on helping remedy the enormous harms Obamacare is inflicting on millions of Americans, and lets push the debt ceiling a little further down the road so that it doesnt distract us from the fight were right in the middle of now, the senator said on KYFO.

(234 posts)Maybe I need to have some brain tissue removed or find some really good drugs... but what a lark to be able to sustain such denial in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary! Of course, he doesn't sound too bright when he says this stuff, so I guess that's the downside, but he also thinks his side is winning, so I don't suppose he notices.
