Where is Cruz so "extreme"?

I don't recall hearing any apologies from any of those who degraded her, did you? Cruz immediately apologized for his slip up, much more than any lib has done regarding Palin. Here's a video and a short list of the wonderful things said about Palin from people who claim to have class:

The Vicious Media Attacks on Sarah Palin

Scroll down and take a look at the remarks. Amazing.

Extremism or hate?

The House then said that they would compromise by finding some middle ground. They said they wouldn't defund Obamacare, but would fund the government and this time "delay" Obamacare for one year in the manner that the President had done for big business.

Approximately a dozen Democrats had publicly called for a delay. The House voted to do that - delay Obamacare.

So, the pertinent and relevant question is - If the Democrats supported delaying Obamacare, why did THEY vote to shut down the government.

As much as the media wants to blame that on Cruz or the Republicans, it simply isn't true. The true reason for the shutdown (which actually doesn't shutdown) was simply a partisan decision made by the White House.

We all know that the President walked into the Republican meeting and said, "I am here to tell you that I will NOT negotiate and I will NOT compromise.

The White House KNEW the plan would benefit them. And it worked because you still believe it was Cruz's fault. Facts show that it wasn't.

Wrong. Congress was perfectly happy letting Bush raise the debt ceiling many many times with no contingencies at all. With Obama, they started with the blackmail which he refused to go along with, admirably. Those GOP House brats were responsible for shutting down the government.

Of course, they will not take responsibility because the GOP, despite advocating 'personal responsibility,' takes none. It is always the fault of someone else with the House GOP. They want to 'take a stand' but not take responsibility for the repercussions of their 'stand.'

We have tried the alternative over and over, never getting different results. It is time to at least try his promises. You have never tried it, how do you know you won't like it?

Why the push to get to and repeat what Europe has tried and failed miserably at.... Socialism?
It hasn't worked yet. Only the rich see the profits, of the inflated banking system that fuels the stock market, that makes saving dollar bills useless. They lose value as soon as they are printed.
