On Breitbart or Drudge I'm sure it is, and if Ted Cruz wasn't trying to make a name for himself, the headlines for the last two weeks would have been the implementation of Obamacare and it's struggles. And his self-interest/ego fucked the GOP with the American people for a bit.
 
He's just pissed. This part was hilarious to me:

"No doubt, the GOP is a party divided, but there are a lot of Democrats in safe districts, too. Why don't they fear a fellow Democrat getting to their left in a primary? Why aren't the Democrats a party divided between a centrist mainstream and a more extreme, radicalized left?

Let us count the reasons: Barack Obama has taken the Democratic Partyleft of Clinton. He left blue-dog, centrist Democrats to be punished for his sins and they were wiped out in the GOP's 2010 Congressional landslide. All the while, the Internet has empowered and organized the party's remaining and most extreme elements. The Democratic Party can't go left. It is left, in entirety. They already occupy America's left fringe."

This is a president who just came out in favor of gay marriage. I don't remember anything he's tried to do with respect to abortion rights. He's has accepted a large percentage of the tax cuts Republicans have put on the table. The actual left has been disappointed with him.

As far as the blue dogs, correct me if I'm wrong but they were mostly victims of the tea party and gerrymandering. Their districts became redder and TP candidates won. It's not like blue dogs wanted Obama to come their districts to campaign anyway.

Those drone strikes seem to fit perfectly with the socialist agenda.
 
The conservative media doing gymnastics to write their way around getting pounded is always a beautiful thing.
 
"Still, an intellectually exhausted Democratic Party proposes nothing new."

Made it this far, somehow...then got to this:

"With any luck, he will be the last President who tried to teach our dinosauric public sector to dance to the music of a new and adaptive era. Others, beyond Obama, will not expand but instead transform what we now pretend "governs" us. As for his legacy, today's tweeters and texters will remember Barack Obama as the last President of the Industrial Age and once he is gone, there will be no cover for his party's intellectual barrenness."

Just wow...out of touch doesn't begin to describe him.
 
Republicans really should not be playing the intellectualism card right now.

He's the same dude who said this last night on Anderson Cooper:

“A friend explained to me today, finally, what Ted Cruz is doing and I finally understand — he’s having bunny sex,” Castellanos explained. “In nature, there are boom and bust cycles. The snowshoe hare, every ten years, multiplies six fold…The snowshoe hare…every ten years, multiplies six fold. Bunnies like sex apparently. But the boom produces a bust. They press their food supply, they invite predators.”

That's the kind of reach I expect to see as FoxNews headlines for the next week or so. Gotta change the conversation somehow.

I would assume you know that this is in jest. Nobody believes that Obama can deliver on his campaign promises.

In psychology, they call this projection. "Fringe radicalization is not happening to us! It's ... it's ... happening to them!"

I think Obama may be slightly left of Reagan, but not by much.

Oh no, you nailed it. It's the perfect Drudge headline. Tip o' the cap.

Campaign promises? Ha! When should he do that? Obama has to deal with much, much more basic things, like "stopping the opposition from intentionally forcing a US credit default for no reason" and "browbeating the House GOP into actually running a government instead of giving tantrums."

Obama is far to the left of Reagan. Ronnie thought Medicare would lead to socialism and the ruining of our nation. He also opposed Social Security. He wanted to dismantle the social safety net.

Reagan's cynically designed trickle down scam is dramatically in contrast Obama's economic policies.

That being said, Reagan would be considered a RINO or a Dem to today's wacko Republican rank and file.

Tim Huelskamp (R. Kansas) when asked about the economic loss resulting from the partial government shutdown: "those numbers are made up."

These people are fucking idiots.
