Just hover the mouse thingy over the link and left click. The link will open and allow you to read the article. It's easy, really.

Go down with the ship kinda mentality.. except Ted piloted the ship onto the rocks and will not abandon ship; instead it's full engines ahead.
The only loons are the ones who saying Cruz is protesting a government shutdown. Only those who do not seek the truth would believe that lie. Fact, Cruz was protesting the unwarranted closing of the memorial. But why use facts when a deceitful drama queen post will suffice?

That article, like your post, didn't say anything of substance.

I'm not sure what a 'metting' is, but how secret can it be if it's being babbled about on the internetwebthingy?

Exactly, and Joe Scarborough is a sensationalist. I don't even know why the guy calls himself a Republican. 15 to 20 Republicans meeting in a public venue is not a "secret" meeting.

No on said ted was protesting shutdown. Why would he if he advocated and orchestrated it???

What ted's reasoning for going to the memorial is evident...one does not need to be a genius to see pandering in action.

The fact is, that a Senator, meeting with 20 tea party conservative House representatives, at this critical juncture of American fiscal crisis, is news. Everyone will draw their own conclusions.

Perhaps some may not see it as good natured male bonding and fellowship but more of a political strategy session?

Ridiculous, isn't it? When he speaks, he reminds me of Mr. Haney from Green Acres, only not likeable, but he definitely looks like and is as devious as The Penguin.

The GOP forgets how of they gained a party majority in the House.

In the next flush, you'll see rinos and democrats gone with the wind.
