GOP Establishment goes after Ted Cruz and the Tea Party:
Think back to 2010 and Delaware’s Christine “I’m Not a Witch”O’Donnell and Nevada’s Sharron “Some [Latinos] Look More Asian to Me” Angle. And then, who can forget 2012’s stars: Richard Mourdock, who explained that rape pregnancies are gifts from God, and Todd Akin, who explored the nuances of “legitimate rape.”...
Cruz comes off as smarter than all of the above combined. There’s a reason so many outside the Beltway admire him. To those who feel jilted by the system and insulted by critics, he is a vision of palm trees, dates and fountains. He articulates what they think and feel and, as a bonus, he’s got that Latino thing.
But Cruz is a mirage, an idea conjured in a fantasy that can’t be realized in reality....
To the most important point, the crux of Cruz: The only person who loves Ted Cruz more than Ted Cruz is Barack Obama. It is the White House and Democrats, not Republicans, who have advanced the idea that Cruz is the face of the GOP. Remember when the White House insisted that Rush Limbaugh was the leader of the GOP? These narratives are useful to Democrats because they loonify the GOP, driving voters away from their fiery rhetoric just as intense heat repels any sensible mammal.
Pretty harsh.

Harsh towards Democrats, yeah.
I agree Tea-baggers are mad…they just have no idea what they are mad about, and if they have their way the average American citizen will be crushed by poverty.
FD…the Democrats are useless too, but they have every right to be as mad as the Tea-baggers and other loons.
We have a system full of citizens that have been trained from birth to submit to authority, never question anything (unless it's the opposing party's point-of-view or some foreigner) and now they have no ability to think for themselves. They're lost in their own maze of nonsensical ideas about how the world really works.
So they're pissed. News at 11.
Christine ODonnell ha!
I remember thinking at the time: "can we just nominate people who are not pagan witches?!" LOL!
"The only person who loves Ted Cruz more than Ted Cruz is Barack Obama. It is the White House and Democrats, not Republicans.."
I agree. Cruz is the Democratic Party's secret weapon and not what he seems to be.
