Cruz: Senate GOP The 'Single Most-Damaging Thing' For Republicans In 2014

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said in an interview that aired Monday that his Republican colleagues in the Senate represent the "single most-damaging thing" for his party heading into 2014.

Cruz told CNN's Dana Bash the reason his campaign to defund the Affordable Care Act flopped was because "Senate Republicans didn't unite."

Ever since Congress approved the bill that re-opened the government and raised the debt ceiling but did not strike at the health care law, the freshman senator has contended that it was lack of party unity that doomed the defunding effort.

He compared the Senate GOP last week to an "air force bombing our own troops" and, in an interview published Saturday, he urged conservatives to hold his fellow Republicans "accountable" for opposing the defunding campaign.

"The single-most damaging thing that has happened to Republicans for 2014 is all of the Senate Republicans coming out, attacking the House Republicans, attacking those pushing the effort to defund Obamacare and lining themselves up opposite of the American people," Cruz said in the interview with CNN.

*Teddy Boy (also known as Ted) is a British subculture typified by young men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, styles which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II.[1] The subculture started in London in the 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, soon becoming strongly associated with American rock and roll.
…
The US film Blackboard Jungle marked a watershed in the United Kingdom. When shown in Elephant and Castle, south London in 1956, the teenage Teddy boy audience began to riot, tearing up seats and dancing in the cinema's aisles.[3] After that, riots took place around the country wherever the film was shown.
…
Some Teds formed gangs and gained notoriety following violent clashes with rival gangs which were often exaggerated by the popular press. The most notable were the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, in which Teddy Boys were present in large numbers and were implicated in attacks on the West Indian community.[5] The violent lifestyle was sensationalised in the pulp novel Teddy Boy by Ernest Ryman, first published in England in 1958.
