FW Star-Telegram editorial slams Cruz and GOP "hostage-taking"
GOP budget hostage-taking not acceptable
http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/10/01/5212515/gop-budget-hostage-taking-not.html
The bigger problem, the real heart of government’s failure this week, is that a group of Republican lawmakers decided to take it upon themselves to shut everything down because they were not happy with a particular government policy.
Holding the nation hostage is not a proper way to achieve legislative goals. It is a perversion of how our government should operate, how it has operated for most of its history.
This Republican faction, led by freshman Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, has forced its ideological extremism on the rest of us, and we should not accept it.
