Obama Care vs Republicans

[Adak]

If you saw Cruz reading Dr. Seuss to his kids, all the way through, you would have to agree:

It was a touching family moment. I don't care WHAT your politics are, this rose above it. Of course, Senator Cruz is the "Conservative devil of the month", so he is to be vilified by all the media, and the loyal non-thinkers who honestly believe:

* wealth is made by the gov't.

* and since the gov't prints the money, the more bills we print, the higher our wealth will become.

I nearly fell over when Nancy Pelosi was explaining that food stamps were "an excellent stimulus for the economy".

And not ONE* reporter questioned the madness of that statement, although it was widely covered by the media.

*that I heard about

Today on CBS news I was listening to how the Republicans were trying to "destroy" the government, with their latest resolutions, etc.

Not one word of anything fair or impartial about the Republicans. Nope, they're the devils, and we're going to slander them until the cows come home, and then get up and do it again tomorrow.

Because they know that making one party, hate the other party, makes for great compromises in Washington.

A politician was wasting everyone's time. Even Cruz could not define what his purpose was. It did not matter. He was promoting himself to the naive who ignored he was filibustering without purpose. He had no strategic objective. And still some foolishly praised him for wasting time reading about green eggs.

Eventually even he voted to do what he said he was trying to stop.

Even the Geico Gecko speaks with a purpose.

Senator Cruz explained EXACTLY what his purpose was. When was the last time you actually HEARD opinions other than your own, expressed?

His objective was strategic, not tactical. Learn the difference!

Good, you listen to animated commercials - well, we all have to start somewhere.

He had a purpose, he raised $1.5 million for his campaign chest with that stunt.

His purpose was to get the most easily brainwashed to give him more money. He successfully rewarded his greed. Extremists say it was good - to screw America.

A patriotic Cruz would have proposed eliminating the paper dollar bill to save a $billion annually. But working for America contradicts his purpose. Extremists work for their agenda - at the expense of America. Same people also massacred 5000 American servicemen in Mission Accomplished. Said that also was good. And got more contributions for doing it.
