I'm beginning to think Ted Cruz's ultimate goal is to be the most hated politician in Washington. He not only wants the general public to hate him, but also fellow Republicans in Congress. Not only was he the architect of the two-week government shutdown, which cost this country $24 billion, he's been providing quotes since the end of the government shutdown which would make Glenn Beck proud, psychologists uneasy, and corpses grateful.
Cruz has been on the receiving end of criticism from both parties during and especially after the shutdown. Many Congressional Republicans have admitted that the fight the GOP attempted to wage over Obamacare was unwinnable, considering Democrats currently control both the Senate and the White House. Others have said the healthcare law will fail on its own accord, so it's best to focus their attention on other matters. Cruz, as he so often does, had a different thought-process. In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, the Texas Senator and man voted Sexiest Person of the Year in Blind Magazine, had this to say:
"I consider that very - the Bad Samaritan theory. Basically inflict a bunch of harm on the American people and hope we benefit politically from it. What a terrible, cynical approach. I'm not interested in seeing the American people suffer just because my party might benefit politically if they blame the Democrats for the foolish policies that have been imposed."
Isn't that interesting? This is coming from a man who shut the federal government down over a healthcare law which was passed in the House, Senate, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court, while the opposing party had control of both the Senate and White House, and resulted in costing this nation $24 billion, many jobs, etc., only to benefit politically from an image and a fundraising standpoint. Mr. Cruz, what would you say to such a person?

Very interesting indeed... From this point forward, if I'm ever given the word "projection" in a spelling contest, I'll spell it as follows: "Projection. T-E-D C-R-U-Z. Projection."
