Ted Cruz - The beatings will continue until our poll numbers turn around

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 GOP’s plan for a temporary debt-limit increase, hoping it would help refocus the government shutdown debate on stopping Obamacare.

You’ll notice that Ted’s not talking about about ending the government shutdown (Sorry, cancer kids! But not really…), he’s only making sure that the entire global financial world doesn’t collapse around everyone’s ears next week which undoubtedly would make things a little awkward in the Executive Lunchroom at his wife’s 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, let’s focus on Obamacare, on winning the fight on Obamacare, on helping remedy the enormous harms Obamacare is inflicting on millions of Americans, and let’s push the debt ceiling a little further down the road so that it doesn’t distract us from the fight we’re right in the middle of now,” the senator said on KYFO.

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.
