Charles Krauthammer called Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dishonest when he criticized his Republican Senate colleagues for not mounting a vigorous opposition to President Obama's health care overhaul in a bill that would avert a government shutdown.

After 21 hours and 19 minutes of talking on the Senate floor to protest the president's Affordable Care Act, Cruz relented and voted with all 99 of his colleagues to proceed with a bill that would fund government operations.

As for his assertion that Cruz is following up the rear here, that is pure DC spin. As far as anyone on the Right cans see, he is the first to genuinely take on the Regime on this. Can you tell me where the party has taken action? They were all sitting around hoping for the Supremes to invalidate it. Then they were sitting around praying that Romney would win and they would take the Senate. Now they are all sitting around arguing that Zerocare will eventually collapse under it's own weight which is absurd. No govt' program ever collapses. It just gets worse and they throw money at it.

Your comment perfectly illustrates what is repugnant and divisive about the way the far-Right views and ballyhoos Senator Cruz's efforts.

You flatly state that, prior to Cruz, everyone in the GOP, has just been "sitting around" relative to ObamaCare which implies that no one but Cruz cares about stopping ObamaCare.

That sort of insufferable conceit is guaranteed to elicit negative, affronted, reactions from Cruz's erstwhile GOP allies.

What is truly mystifying is that the far-Right seems surprised by this.

I ask you on a daily basis this same question which you ignore. What is the GOP establishments plan that they are fighting with to stop Zerocare. Holding mindless show votes in the House 42 times isn't a plan. Telling us they need more members isn't a plan. Hoping Zerocare will just collapse and disappear isn't a plan. Defund is a plan and as of me writing this, they are one more step closer to shutting down Ried. Manchin is now off the Rat reservation. Only 5 more Rats to go.
