Cruz argues in favor of Government run health care

Extremist 'Tea Party' Republicans like to pretend they are patriots --- so much so that when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) complained this week that the government shutdown he helped engineer had forced the elimination of Veteran's Administration healthcare services, he belatedly discovered that he had painted himself into an impossible corner.

Well, he didn't discover it on his own. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) helped him to notice that he was ardently advocating on the Senate floor for the Veteran's Administration health care system, which, unlike "ObamaCare", is an actual government run healthcare system of the type that Cruz pretends to abhor so much he was willing to lead his party to shutting down the entire government to block it.

who betrayed me in a most severe way, and when I knocked on her door for an explanation, she made up 3 entirely different and contradictory stories one after another in the space of less than a minute. If I hadn't said, "Liar!" and spun on my heel and stomped off, she'd be standing in the doorway still, running off at the mouth like a maniac.
