So now Ted Cruz is just thumbing his nose and trampling all over John Boehner. Boehner is officially the Puppet of the House.

When is Boehner going to get a backbone? At this point it looks like Boehner is being blackmailed by the Tea Party like they have something on him that would be embarrassing if it got out. He needs to do what right and forget about being blackmailed.

Knowing Cruz, He made it as public a place as possible to show who is in charge of the TP loones. Nice job Ted, I can't wait to hear how you all spin the eventual deal...

At least your backbone is straight and strong. Of course that has nothing to do with you running evertually unopposed in your last election.

It has genuinely become comical, these people cause a government shutdown and then blame the President and Democrats for it.

It has always been their M.O. to practice serial projection (accuse the other party of what you are doing, always keeping them on the defensive and your low information supporters placated) but this one is a hard sell, even an idiot can see through the transparency of their accusations.

I love it when they double down, it is all their arrogance and stubbornness allows them to do.

Keep it up Teabaggers!

non essential government employees don't get invited back to work.
the government shuts down.
essential employees are at work, and government still can't function.

There is no such thing as "bad" publicity.

this whole debacle is nearing the beating the dead horse...Only the loons are still defending Teds uber mistake.

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.

That is what they are selling in the right wing media. The bubble might believe it.

If "secret" means having a thread about it on a web forum I'd hate to see what "transparent" would be.
