Republican Congressman Devin Nunes accuses Republican Senator Ted Cruz of lying about shutdown

[mota bhai 2,675]

Rep. Devin Nunes, a conservative Republican from California’s Central Valley, on Monday accused freshman GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of lying to House Republicans that they could dismantle the Democratic health care reform law known as Obamacare by forcing a government shutdown.

...

Nunes said Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has run into a wall of opposition from Cruz’s House allies to any shutdown-averting deal.

“It’s really difficult at this time until the Cruz people decide and admit to our base that their whole premise of getting rid of Obamacare by shutting down our government was a lie,” Nunes said. “This is his strategy that he’s laid out, spent money on and he’s got a lot of members of the Congress to go along with.”

Ted Cruz lied?

I thought that was a given?

The issue for me is why didn't Nunes know that this was BS in the first place? Doesn't he have access to google?

Proving once again that the Republicans elected aren't all that bright.

Well, ya gotta start somewhere.

I posit Nunes will be the sacrificial lamb in this slaughter,

but in the end, months later, he'll be proven right.

You Go, Rep. Nunes !!! Go Get Em !

Good stuff. So the Republican Congressman is saying that Cruz lied and that the Republican base is dumb enough to have accepted that lie as fact. This is awesome!

Is implosion imminent? I'm getting a front row seat for this.

These guys have no code like the mafia. Once they see the implosion coming they'll all roll over on each other.

How do they not know the fact that shutting down the government gets them nothing? Well, except the disdain of the independent voters.

Stunning ignorance once again.
