Steve Stockman plants foot firmly in mouth, again...

If anyone here actually has Stockman as their congresscritter, you have my spympathy.

Stockman: 'Brilliant' Ted Cruz Saved GOP

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 10/25/2013 11:50 am


Never mind all those polls showing the Republican Party and Tea Party’s approval ratings in the gutter: Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is hailing his home-state senator Ted Cruz as a heroic visionary for leading the Republican push to shut down the government.

In an interview published today, Garth Kant of WorldNetDaily asks the Texas congressman if “Cruz looks more like a psychic or a genius,” to which Stockman responds that “Cruz’s ploy, which was ridiculed by many of the party members, was brilliant; he got 5.5 million names, they now know he is a man of principle, so I think it was smart.” He compared Cruz’s efforts to the Battle of the Alamo: “In every loss, there can be a victory.”
