I think this is as much an indictment of the Washington media (and the whole belt-way mindset) as it is the stupidity of
Ted Cruz. Amazingly (to me) many republican leaders have pointed out what an idiot Cruz is.

I have known MANY "educated idiots" that have been great at scholastics but totally clueless about everything else. Ted Cruz OTOH may be smart in his political leanings. Smart enough to know that he will be paid a lot of money by the elite to further
cripple the average Americans and make them suffer because the ACA may cut into their profits and the serfdom that they promote to retain "loyalty" from their grossly underpaid and benefit-less employees.
The ACA SHOULD result in universal health care (like they have in congress, BTW). These elites depend on the shitty and expensive health insurance that some of them offer, in order to retain their workers... serfdom..

America, with it's population, should not have it's "seat of power" located in just one place. Of course this results in a highly insulated
govt. We need to have a few regional Whitehouse's and congress, etc.. that "our" leaders use alternately (on a rotating basis) in order to expose them of the varied wants and needs of the American people in each region.
When we have all of that power concentrated in one place, they cannot be representative of our populace.
We do not need more "K streets", the for profit lobbying industry is obvious bribery of what is supposed to be representatives of the citizens of America, everywhere and all socio-economic classes.

The Hunger Games are real..

Nobody ever accused him of being smart.

For the record I also think Ted Cruz is an idiot.

Loved this Rewrite exposing the hypocrisy & fake filibuster of Ted Cruz!!! Sadly Cruz is like most Republicans lying, obstructing everything to see President Obama fail. How Lawrence ended this Rewrite is priceless!!!
