Crazy Ted Cruz

SOMEBODY ONCE SAID, and it may've been H.L. Mencken, "the fools would be humorous were they not in such deadly earnest." The battle on Pennsylvania Ave. (Wash. D.C., U.S.A) over Obamacare has got to be the most entertaining and amusing clown show since the last republican comedy, whenever that was, which was no doubt quite recent. Many of them want to get rid of our new socialistic health care system, (Obamacare) by simply refusing to provide money for it, and they are willing to refuse money for the entire government, if thats' what it takes. And because of this, because of their decision to do this, they are becoming extremely unpopular, and many of their fellow republicans are refusing to go along with the scheme, because they know it is too late, much too late, and that it will never work. Smart rats jump off a sinking ship, and look for a floating plank. Having long since lost the ability to compromise in America, are we now losing our ability to count, to think, and to behave reasonably? Ted Cruz seems to want badly to become president, you can just sense it. The way he's going, he'll be voted out of the Senate, and will never become President, dogcatcher, or anything else. Giving a twenty hour speech about nothing is not what most people consider to be common sense, and good judgment. The last time republican congresspeople shut down the government, the American people blamed them for it, and it cost them at the ballor box, and the same thing will happen again this time, if they persist. Rush Limbaugh, who on the radio has been whining because all the republccans refuse to commit political suicide with Ted Cruz, suggested, in the next breath, that maybe the republicans should give up the fight, let Obamacare proceed, and simply wait for it to fail miserably, and and for the democrats to take the blame. Finally, Rush Limbaugh got something right. That's exactly what opponents to Obamacare should do. Let it go, let it go on, and let it fail. And if it doesn't fail, they can at least claim that they did not oppose it. That will be a lie, but they will be able to claim it. Because there is no way they can stop it, and trying to do so is mere theatre, shameful, tawdry theatre, intended to attract attention and gain future political advantage. They made the mistake of thinking a large part to the American people support their nutty scheme. Over the next couple of years, as Obamacare settles in, the bugs are worked out, and the dust settles, those who behaved like crazy Ted Cruz will wish they hadn't.
