Ted Cruz Blames Democrats For Congressional Dysfunction

[Lakhota]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is worried about dysfunction in Congress, but he's placing the blame for inaction squarely at the feet of Democrats in Washington.

"It should embarrass all of us, and it's the result of a deliberate partisan decision," the Texas Republican said in an interview scheduled to air on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

It's a bit much for the ideological bomb-thrower to lament dysfunction in Congress just days after vowing to block all nominees to an understaffed State Department until the White House explains why the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily grounded U.S. flights to Israel. And there's still the matter of last year's federal government shutdown, which was spurred by Cruz's quixotic demand to defund the Affordable Care Act.

Does that moron actually believe that - or is it just more political theater and red meat for the hardcore right? I suspect most of his followers believe it.

Chris Matthews described him perfectly, Joe McCarthy with brains.

I think that all in all he probably won't run for POTUS. He knows he can't win a national election.

He's going to follow the money and try to stay relevant, grab as much air and ink as he can and get rich doing it. In short, he's Sarah Palin in a tie and pants.

Both parties are to blame,,,,,cut their pay until they get on track...

 

[DriftingSand]

Good goin' Cruz for saying it like it is (for the most part). Some of the blame should also be placed on the RINOs (wannabe Democrats). The dysfunction will end when Congress once again embraces the Constitution and focuses on solutions instead of tax-raising, entitlement schemes.

 

[R.C. Christian]

LOL, we can't cut their pay.

 

[Stephanie]

So what, you blame him

so what's earth shattering news here?

I agree 1000%. They are the worst form of a discriminating, elitist club abusing their salaries and position.

I wish Obama could sign an executive order cutting their pay. That would be fantastic.

You got that right! They sure don't need to be going on a 5 week vacation. I would love to see everyone of the incumbents voted out.

Cruz is a liar and partisan hack.

No surprise.

 

[Stephanie]

oh boy, lets see, Cruz didn't win LIAR of the year

dear gawd, of course it's been mostly the Democrats

They been playing games with your lives all through Obama's terms...so they can BLAME it on Republicans...but only a partisan wouldn't see it

 

[Lakhota]

Both parties may be to blame - but it's far from equal blame. Here's how I place the blame for dysfunction and obstruction:

75% Republicans

25% Democrats

You know, the people of Texas really messed up and made a Big mistake in ever electing that guy to the U.S. Senate! But just like a Conservative to mess up Big Time and then turn around and try to blame the other party. And stop to consider this. The House is currently dysfunctional right now for all practical purposes and they're catching Hell from everywhere for not working to get bills passed as the president has asked them to do and Cruz has the hormones to blame the Democrats? Simply incredible and ridiculous. He seriously needs to look at his own party. Enough said.

He's 50% right. The other 50% are the Republicans.
