Cruz says he will blame Obama if the GOP succeeds in shutting down the govt over Planned Parenthood

Is there a bigger douchebag in Congress?

---------------



Ted Cruz says his hard-line strategy to defund Planned Parenthood and risk a government shutdown is about doing the “right thing” and following through on Republicans' vows to conservative voters.

<...>

Not to worry, Cruz says: This time it would all be on President Barack Obama if government funding lapses.

“President Obama has embraced the radical position ... to try to shut down the entire federal government if this one private organization does not get taxpayer money,” Cruz said. “It is only in the twisted, inverted logic of the Washington Beltway that anyone other than Barack Obama would bear responsibility for that shutdown.”

and think.

If the teaparty said Obama was a female alien from Plant Utobo, he would call a press conference and warn everyone about the female alien from Utobo.

If Michelle Obama said water was healthy, he and the teaparty would become ENRAGED with ANGER over the idea that the BLACK Woman DARE tell them to drink water.

I'd bet on it. I don't think Captain Bourbonator of Orange or Yertle is in the mood for another shutdown. And if all else fails, Obama will, predictably, cave in.

Cruz is crazier than a needle-dicked bugfucker.

It isn't an act. He'd crazy, stupid, ,mean and a zealot. He's Huckabee without the act. He is dangerous and lurking behind Trump. He's the theocracy in the making if he wins the GOP nomination.

especially in his own party. If he managed to steal the presidency (he'd never win it), he wouldn't last through his first term. Somebody out there would plug him.
