he did no such thing, he stated he had 2 million people sign up in support of his fight, and ThinkProgress inferred the rest.

You are a fucking liar, and so is ThinkProgress.

 

[tinydancer]

Think Progress? Seriously?

Now look. If I wanted to read Think Progress articles day in and day out, you know what? I would go to Think Progress and read them.

I am at USMB message board for discussion. Not to read liberal articles.

Priorities of professional politicians, in order:

1. Themselves and their careers
2. Fundraising and re-election
3. Their next television interview
4. Their constituents and the country

Do you have a link that shows that? That one you provided doesn't say that.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

It wasn't about fundraising, it's about making himself famous.

Ted Cruz has ambitions. Or perhaps he had them.

 

[Dot Com]

its all about getting reelected/fund-raising & the t party sheeple fell for it. He never had a chance of getting anything changed. He bluffed and it cost this great nation $24 BILLION in GDP. Sad that.

That's been known for a while now but if all he got was 2 million people, it was a failure.

Really, sane people see him for the nutter he is. If they had doubts, watching his fake filibuster against a bill he supported and then voted for was more than enough proof. He's just another tee potty bent on bringing the country down and lining his own pockets.

Yeah, just gloss over the blantant dishonesty of the article title and OP's thread title.

Lying is ok for progressives, because THEY CARE.

they had nothing to bargain with other than shutting down the government. Thats not a viable bargaining position. It was one big t party photo op & email fundraiser.

[nodoginnafight]

not JUST a fund-raising list.

Most Americans have no clue who Ted Cruze is.

He's trying to grab some headlines too.

I think it's safe to say that anyone paying attention at all knows who he is now.

The question, is that a good thing for him?
