Republicans are trying to make Ted Cruz the "fall guy" for their shutdown

[Proud Liberal Dem]

But don't buy it. Republicans, particularly in the House, have been more than willing to go along with his delusional jihad against ACA. This shutdown is on any Republican whom failed to vote for a clean CR before the government had to shut down.

1. Yup. We're supposed to believe that people who have been in the House for decades are being

controlled by a guy whose been a Senator for less than a year.

Let Cruz crawl back into his hole and shrivel up. And take his crazy father with him.

4. not Cruz, not 'republicans'...

the shutdown is solely John Boehner's responsibility... he, alone, can bring the clean CR to the floor... he can do the mature thing, but chooses not to

5. I don't agree that it is really about the ACA. I think

that it is all about throwing their weight around to get their way, even if it means bringing down this country. I hope that President Obama and the Democrats hold tight and not cave. They worst thing that they could do would be to reward bad behaviour.

6. Are you saying that Ted Cruz was just a willing idiot who happily tossed.......

himself in front of the sure to come slings and arrows.
Na, even Cruz ain't that dumb.

Ahhhhh, but his co-conspirators are that cunning.

Ryan: Now who you gonna get thats that wet behind the ears.
Boehner: Lets get that new loud mouthed kid, whats his name, oh Teddy.
