I did vote yes--because Senator Cruz stands out as proof positive that Republicans should have a psychologist test their future candidates --as well as those who wish to purchase Large ammo clips for their (deer) rifles.

Yes, Ted Cruz is definitely the GOP's poster boy! And no one is more thrilled about that than Hillary and her millions of supporters...Go Hillary! Best GOP candidate since Michelle Bachmann. Or Herman Cain. Or Rick Perry. Or...

Cruz and the republicans are trying to blackmail the President, the Democrats and the country. Everyone needs to call their representatives or senators and tell them this is enough.

Oh, Lord will we never be free of these crazy, self-serving Republicrats? He's really just the latest "poster boy." There have been so many it's kind of hard to keep track of them. He's just in it for the money like all of them have been.

I'm a 7th generation Texan. I can tell you he does not represent me or anyone in my family. He needs to be taken out behind the barn and put out of his misery. Then the rest of us could get rid of the rest of the teapubs and go on with making our state great again!

I'm so glad you are pointing out the GOP hypocrisy. This new self-inflicted mess the Republican Party once again involved in, reminds me of the self-inflicted Paul Ryan budget mess they got into then too. The budget they came up with then was so immoral and utter nonsense it sparked the “Nuns on Bus” tour among other things, and President Obama was force to make them look bad then too. And here we go again, Republicans have been so dishonest about what they labeled “Obamacare” to which I like to respond “yes, Obama do care” for so long that here at the final hours the entire Republican Party once again looks foolish (and that is really the nicest thing I can say about how they look at this point). The worst part of this ugly fiasco is how Republicans are trying to back away and blame Ted Cruz for the entire fiasco, predicament whatever you want to call it that they once again find themselves in. Yes, right now he is the idiot front man, but before there was an idiot name Ted Cruz there were idiots named John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Mit Romney Sara Paulin, and so on and on. So the Republican Party doesn’t get a free pass now that we are at the bewitching hour and the clown car is in the middle of the room looking pretty clownish right now. The Republican Party has been acting like bratty little kids (sorry bratty kids, I don’t believe you deserve to be added to this bunch, but it’s the best I can do right now) crying and crying until they can’t cry anymore. This is not a Ted Cruz wish, this is a Republican Party wish, as usual they are trying to lie to us as if they think we don’t pay attention at all and can’t figured out what they are up to as a Party (remind me how many votes on defunding has been wasted by the Republican Party). Once again President Obama has to step up as big daddy and put the bratty kids to bed without supper, and tell them no supper until you learn to behave like adults and remember you were all sent to Washington by the American people and they expect you to behave like adults and stop trying to break and burn everything down but rather work on their behave.

Cruz is just carrying the ball this down (probably for negative yardage) for those GOP bubbas who are still sore for losing the election, the vote to pass the ACA and any other progress made under President Obama. Since they (GOP) watered down /delayed the ACA implementation, let their key donors opt out by reducing employee hours and opted out themselves, its no wonder they think ACA is a failure. They pulled the plug before the law was passed. Remember, they want the President and anything he manages to accomplish to fail. Whatever happened to "We the people...promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."???

maybe cruz should use his insurance that he receives compliments of the tax payers - to get his balls taken care of - he talks like a woman... and maybe we should also discuss native americans and their free health care. just about every town in alaska has a native hospital/clinic; if we are ALL created equal how come we all don't have free medical for life?

I agree with you ED. Yes we should make CRAZY CRUZ as our advertizing poster boy. As you said, they all are the same. When we were younger, me and my wife used to go clubs and dance night out. Sometimes we see a group of people who sit together and dance together. I used to say to my "These people belong to some dance club", when my wife aske , as to how did I know that. My answer was "Just look at them , they all are moving their asses in a same way"! Just like that, Ed you are correct about these right wingers . I am so glad you are back on a daily basis. Keep up ED.

The only one's who are going to like the ACA are the free loaders who won't have to pay anything to get insurance. Whast about all the illegal immigrants in this country who go to the emergency room. Taxpayers will still have to pay their cost as well. I wish this country would go bankrupt then America can start over and do things right.

I haven't had health care in more then ten years and now with Obamacare I will be able to have it and end my emergency room visits which have me drowning in the ocean. They will lose this battle!

John - 11 years ago
Ted Cruz speaks the truth. Why should I pay for insurance and some poor person having babies they can't afford gets it for free on my dime. REPEAL the DAMN Bill. Obama gives waivers to employers but forces the rest of us to purchase health care. He did not even read the bill and is still talking about it. What an ignorant individual. And Ed don't talk about TEXAS tthis is one state you don't want to mess with.
Anita McGuinn - 11 years ago
I voted no, but if he is, it's temporary. After Oct. 1st, all the lies of the GOP and Tea Party regarding the Affordable Care Act will be disproved, and they will turn on him.
Ed Marks - 11 years ago
He has become the poster boy for what I hope in my lifetime is a dying political party. I'll tell you one thing. For a Harvard educated lawyer, he sure got the definition of insanity dead wrong. If I am not mistaken, insanity means that a person does not know the difference between right and wrong either due to reasons not otherwise specified or the person does not know the difference between right and wrong because that person suffers from a mental disease or mental defect.

I voted no, he is a pompous ass that is all about himself. He is showing the people that they do not care about only one thing and that is themselves. Republicans desire him since they will not step forward and stop this crap. The speaker of the house needs to do his job or step down to someone that will.
Ted Cruz is another in the long line of radical right-wing insurgents who want to take our country back to those golden years before Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation, Unions, women's rights and any safety net. He's as right wing as the John Birch Society and as dangerous as a Texas rattler.
