Cruz: It was a ‘remarkable victory’ until Senate Republicans caved on the shutdown
Source: Raw Story
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday blasted members of his own party after he said that they wasted a “remarkable victory” by making a deal with Democrats to re-open the government and avert a default on U.S. debt by raising the nation’s credit limit.
At the same time Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was on the Senate floor telling Republicans that it was time to move on, Cruz was elsewhere in the Capitol lashing out at his colleagues.
As CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out to Cruz, he had nothing to show for his efforts — President Barack Obama’s health care reform law had not been defunded nor delayed — after 16 days of a government shutdown.
Cruz, however, said that he disagreed: “Months ago, when the effort to defund Obamacare began, official Washington scoffed, they scoffed that the American people would rise up, they scoffed that the House of Representatives would do anything and they scoffed that the Senate would do anything.”

…but not "Teddy." Only ONE senator should ever be called by that name...
You win.
…why did you decide to not block the proposal in the Senate, as you could do all by yourself???
isn't he subject to recall? Seems his constituents are somewhat disenchanted at this point. If he's not, he should be.
I'm sure he raised LOTS of money for his presidential campaign. 
he looked down and it was his toe that was shot off.
When Pat Robertson says you've gone too far, well, that pretty much says it all. Sort of like that time the KKK disassociated themselves from the Westboro Baptist Church.
I suppose even outright lunatics like Robertson and the KKK can tell when "there's just something not right in the head with them folks over there....."
and Pat Robertson was playing the role of Alice 
"We would have won but the senate Republicans caved".
Captain Kirk could only dream of having Deflector Shields like Ted Cruz.

...leaving it for Julius Caesar, “So this isn't a humiliating defeat at all, but a rare species of victory!"
But Cato was being sarcastic 
He'll pay for taking these swipes at Nazi appeasers like McCain.
just before the Battle of the Little Big Horn. 
until my lottery numbers weren't picked. 
maybe we should give him more "victory" on everything else he wants but can't have. What a dumbass.
