Senator Bob Corker, Asseyez-vous--as they say in Vichy. John Boehner aides flooding Huffington Post with anonymous quotes bashing Ted Cruz. K Street mad, they like ObamaCare, BoehnerCare

.
9/20/13, "Bravo Ted Cruz. Bob Corker, Sit Down." Hugh Hewitt, Townhall

"Speaker John Boehner's aides are flooding the Huffington Post with anonymous quotes blasting Cruz for forcing the House to force the Senate Democrats to get endangered Senate Democrats Begich of Alaska, Landrieu of Louisiana, Shaheen of New Hampshire, Pryor of Arkansas and Udall of Colorado to vote again for or against Obamacare, thus opening them up for devastating and deserved attacks in 2014. 

The K Street Republicans, however, are really and truly enraged that Cruz is trying to win the Senate back and really intends to get rid of Obamacare. The country club Republicans are upset he didn't wait his turn and is getting more press than they are."...via Free Republic

Comment: I don't usually cite Mr. Hewitt's articles because I consider him establishment. His article above praises Ted Cruz but it's more a good boy, nice try, things may work out for you in a few years, and I, insider Hugh Hewitt, absolutely have the inside scoop that you'll soon be sitting in the back of the bus again. Hewitt repeats Beltway lines (quote below): that it's about "repealing" ObamaCare (which it's not, it's about defunding it), and that everything will be fine if the GOP wins the Senate in 2014 and the Presidency in 2016. HaHaHa. The GOP recently controlled all 3 branches of government, trashed them, turned the country over to the radical left, and is fine with it. Hewitt's special 'absolute' knowledge:

parag. 3: "It is absolutely the case that the GOP will, in the end, have to vote for a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare. It will require winning the Senate for the GOP in 2014 and the presidency in 2016 to repeal Obamacare."...

Farther down the article Hewitt gives another GOP estab. line, that Cruz is using the ObamaCare issue to assemble a mailing list for personal fundraising for years ahead. (Rush Limbaugh has said GOP types use this line):

"Cruz and his colleagues rallied hundreds of thousands of voters to sign on to the effort to defund Obamacare. That's called building a network that can be mobilized in future elections."...  

The GOP has merged with the democrats into a single ruling elite.

A commenter called out Hewitt's attitude:

"sleroi Wrote: 1 hour ago (3:09 AM)"
 

"So you are praising Cruz for his stance, and admonishing Corker for being snarky, yet at the beginning of your article you state,

"It is absolutely the case that the GOP will, in the end, have to vote for a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare". You cant have it both ways. If you believe in Cruz and Lee then back them up. Use your forum to join with the courageous senators you seemingly admire and compel the house to stand their ground. Tomorrows vote is pointless if the plan from the get go is to cave. Senator Cruz knows that the numbers are not there in his chamber. So he is rightfully urging a poorly led house with a propensity for retreat to stand firm. And for this he is being accused of surrender? How does praising Cruz while predicting failure make you any better than Corker?"

Added: After the Nov. 2008 elections, what remained of the GOP was happy in the background. The only reason anyone started talking about the GOP again was because of the Tea Party. The Tea Party grew because the Republican Party destroyed itself leaving half the country without representation. This remains the situation today. The Bush crowd/GOP has made silencing the TP its number one priority. With Obama's help, the GOP did defeat the Tea Party in 2012 for which they owe Obama big time. In Nov. 2010 the Tea Party proved it could beat democrats. But the GOP doesn't want democrats to be beaten. They want democrats to remain in power. As do Fox News and the rest of the media.

Obama re-election helped GOP House Speaker Boehner:

12/8/12, "Once Boxed-In, Boehner May Finally Be Master Of The House," NPR, Frank James

"In a paradoxical way, Obama's re-election victory coupled with congressional Democrats adding to their numbers may have helped Boehner. Some of those wins came at the expense of the Tea Party, the conservative movement whose affiliated House members have been very willing to stand up to Boehner....

Despite complaints from conservative activists and bloggers, however, Boehner remains the most powerful Republican in Washington."

"Again and again, the American people are forced to confront the fact that its [bipartisan] ruling class is not on its side." (subhead, 'Public Safety') 

10/20/11, "The lost decade," Angelo M. Codevilla, Claremont

"America's current ruling class, the people who lost the War on Terror, monopolizes the upper reaches of American public life, the ranks of those who make foreign and domestic policy, including the leadership of the Republican and Democratic parties. It is more or less homogeneous socially and intellectually."...

"No prominent Republican challenged the ruling class’s continued claim of superior insight, nor its denigration of the American people as irritable children who must learn their place."...
 
July-August 2010, "America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution," by Angelo M. Codevilla
 
"The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party — and its vision is revolutionary."...
