John Boehner: Defund Movement The Way to Avoid the "Trainwreck" of ObamaCare

What?

Well he's on board now, he says.

He says, "the House has listened to the American people, and now it's time for the United States Senate to listen as well." Which may be a hidden slap at Cruz but it's also, on the surface, a perfectly routine demand to make at Harry Reid. Well-crafted.

Meanwhile, Peter King, who grabbed every headline he could after 9/11, accuses Ted Cruz of grabbing headlines, and says the loss on this Defund issue in the Senate will prove that Cruz is a fraud.

“I hope people will get the message this guy is bad for the party,” King continued. "The issues are too important, they're too serious - they require real conservative solutions - not cheap headline hunting schemes."

I'm sure I could name a less serious guy than Peter King but it would take a few minutes of thought.

I can only say buck-passing or "Burden Shifting" so many times. Burden Shifting You Guys.

You know, Ted Cruz does grab a lot of headlines. Sometimes he rubs me the wrong way. That said, look: At some point you have to do something besides mark time.
