Ted Cruz: ‘I Don’t Trust The Republicans’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday defended his objection to initiating House-Senate budget negotiations unless Democrats take a debt limit increase off the table, saying he doesn't trust his party to hold the line.

"The senior senator from Arizona urged this body to trust the Republicans. Let me be clear, I don't trust the Republicans," Cruz said. "And I don't trust the Democrats."

On Tuesday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) scolded Republicans for blocking negotiations. He was backed by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).

"Unfortunately," Cruz said, "one of the reasons we got into this mess is because a lot of Republicans were complicit in this spending spree and that's why so many Americans are disgusted with both sides of this house. ... And every Republican who stands against holding the line here is really saying, let's give the Democrats a blank check to borrow any money they want with no reforms, no leadership to fix the problem."

Such a fine example of binary thinking. If everyone doesn't do exactly what Ted Cruz demands - that makes them traitors to his imaginary nation.

I am of the same opinion, I don't trust republicans and I don't trust democrats. But unlike Cruz, I do not belong to either party.

He's a rising death star in the GOP universe.

I guess anything that involves freedom and having to make it on one's own is "irrational" to a socialist
 
We can't not raise the debt ceiling unless we just remove it altogether. It is just unrealistic to think we can get a dollar below the limit and then just cut our way out of the mess we are in.

Why do so-called conservatives spend so much time demonizing their own party? If you don't like the Republicans, don't be apart of the party!!!!! It's seems to me common sense, but again, they are very naive and idealistic people who think they can push the party to a purity level where it has never been!!!

the thing the GOP most worries about is that parasites tend to reproduce faster than producers.

that's the typical hysterical nonsense we expect in your posts. we have plenty of government to take care of sick kids but people like you do everything possible to encourage irresponsible people to breed like rabbits so they produce lots of children that the rest of us have to fund

Look who's talking about hysteria, the guy who just used the rugged individual meme as political philosophy.
