Uh-oh, GOP, Senior Republicans Turn On Ted Cruz;

GOP Senator Says Ted Cruz Sold Them Snake Oil - AddictingInfo.org 10/05/13.



The New York Times reports the climate in Washington is similar to other places around the country. Almost everyone feels frustrated with the Tea Party’s role in the government shutdown:

“From statehouses to Capitol Hill, frustration is building and spilling out during closed-door meetings as Republicans press leaders of the effort to block funding for the health care law to explain where their strategy is ultimately leading.”

The Tea Party’s inexperience and overconfidence has senior Republicans rightfully concerned. The GOP can’t put the blame on President Barack Obama or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Voters know exactly where the blame belongs.


All within the same AddictingInfo.org article.

You were just looking for somebody to lead you in the direction of a shutdown, and you found that somebody in the form of Cruz. To get all pissed off at him now is ridiculous.
