Gee, all that elitist education and the best Cruz can do is compare Obamacare to the Nazi's and misinterpret the children's story, "Green Eggs and Ham".
Any 'idiot' can do that.
I think Cruz is suffering from delusions of self granduer. He's aliented half the republican party....they really, really don't like him.
It's too bad Senators are elected for six years because I think Utahns' regret electing Mike Lee.
....Its all about 2014 not for him he isn't up for reelection even if he is he is from Texas a red state. its for the 5 seats the republicans need to take over the senate. also a chance to get rid of some of the senate rinos
we have 6 senate democrats that are in for an uphill battle to keep their senate seats here they are with the increase of of health insurance premium rates for a 27 year old male for each of their states
Alaska: Mark Begich, D
health insurance rates increased by 117%
Arkansas: Mark Pryor, D
health insurance rates increased by 247%
Louisiana: Mary L. Landrieu, D
health insurance rates increased by 108%
North Carolina: Kay Hagan, D
health insurance rates increased by 267%
South Dakota: Tim Johnson,
health insurance rates increased by 158%
West Virginia: Jay Rockefeller, D
health insurance rates increased by ?
as you can see those senators are from red and purple states and they will have a lot of explaining to do with their constituents that they not just voted for Obama care the first time but also voted to keep it funded after they were aware of the cost to the people in their state
And for the Rino's what can I say this is what is wrong with the republican party we have to many democrats in it. what Cruz just did is smoke them out and they to will have some explaining to do when they are primaried coming in 2014 by more courageous and principled republicans that will do what they promised their voters what they would do. Ever republican ran on the platform of getting rid of Obama care
Politically, it was a brilliant move for himself in 2016 presidential primaries. He has balls, fearless politically, rare political talent. I wish he was closer to my political views, he'd be fun to support. It will be interesting with him and rand paul in primaries. They will split a lot of votes.
He won't win any general Presidential elections, so it doesn't matter.
I tend to agree but he could make some serious noise in the primaries. I think he's achieved hero status to a lot of Conservatives.
Palin reached hero status too but her squeaking during the election didn't make a bit of difference. Both Palin and Cruz are pandering to the same minority far right extremists. Thats not how you win general elections.
its not the far right that wants Obama care repaired it is the majority of America

Romney ran a platform of repealing Obamacare and yet the majority voted to re-elect Obama.
Romney was a rino how do you trust one that says he wants to repeal a plan he made happen in his own state
some one promising to do something and you believing them that they will do it are two different things.Thats beside the point. If the majority had wanted Obamacare repealed they would have elected someone who promised to do just that. But they didn't.

at that time America still believed Obamas lies about Obama care and now they are seeing the truth with the letters from the insurance companies either raising rates or dropping plans
The public had three years to learn about Obamacare...."death panels" and all. So if they really wanted it repealed they would have elected Romney.
"...“Many of those who are in opposition right now were not here at the time and did not take part in that debate,” McCain said. “The record is very clear of one of the most hard fought, fair, in my view, debates that has taken place on the floor of the Senate.”
McCain, who campaigned for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney last year, noted that Obamacare was a major issue in the 2012 campaign, but the American people made their position on the issue known by reelecting President Obama.“
That doesn’t mean that we give up our efforts to try to replace and repair Obamacare, but it does mean that elections have consequences,” McCain said. “Those elections were clear in a significant majority that a majority of the American people supported the president of the United States and renewed his stewardship of this country.”....."

There is a BIG difference between Palin and Cruz, don't you think? For one, Palin was hammered mercilessly by the left from day one...and she suffered greatly for it. The left hasn't been able to make much of a dent in Cruz, though they've tried. Cruz has the ability to pander to the middle as well as the far right...and make himself believable. Now...I don't know if Cruz wants to run in 2016 or if the OP is correct about his aim being the 2014 Senate races, but I caution the left not to underestimate him.
I love how the Unthinking left calls anyone to the right of Trotsky a far right extremist
