Guess who Ted Cruz blames for the shutdown

[TexasTowelie]

Texas tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz tells ABC's Jonathan Karl on "This Week" that he has no regrets about the 16-week federal government shutdown.

In fact, he blames President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders, ABC News reports in a story on its website.

"I think it was absolutely a mistake for President Obama and Harry Reid to force a government shutdown," Cruz says. And he brushes off House Speaker John Boehner's opposition to the Obamacare/shutdown strategy.

"I can't help what other people say," Cruz tells Karl.

5. Jackasses like Cruz are phony as a 7 dollar bill. They throw rocks through glass then

claim that the glass attacked the rocks. Republicans are treasonous assholes, that group includes anyone that votes republican.

6. It's the new right wing meme. They know they can pull it off because they own the media. That's

part of the problem. I promise it will be said a thousand times between now and 2014. Jon Stewart or Colbert had a montage of Republicans making this claim.
