Cruz: Either We Stop ObamaCare Now or We Surrender To It Forever

Sorry, I'm just phoning this in now because I'm trying, with no success of course, to shame the media into actually taking an interest in a Democratic scandal.

But this is as usual a comprehensive piece by AllahPundit on a topic I've been trying to avoid, to wit, the coming civil war in the party, as the Accomodationist Wing once again ignores the Constitutionalist Hawks.

And I'm sure the Accomodationist Wing can offer us all sorts of excuses why "this isn't the right time" and all of that. I suppose it is true -- and I can't be a baby about this and deny it -- that an actual government shutdown could cost us our chance at the Senate, and even lose us the House. And, if the latter were to happen, we'd lose our one source of power to stop Obama, at least until 2016.

And yet, and yet. I think these arguments about the political inadvisability of certain actions usually mask the real reason for abeyance: I don't want to, I don't agree with that, I don't want to take on the Permanent DC Complex of bureaucrats, donors, and media. I want to just drift along the sweet river Apocalypse. But I don't want to admit these things to my voters. Instead I will always just dress everything up in terms of poll numbers.
