Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Friday that supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had inundated his office with “vulgar, rabid and adolescent-type phone calls”

LOL! What did you expect from Cruz supporters?

“Frankly, I can not imagine supporters of Jeb Bush, Scott Walker,
Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, or other candidates reacting
so disgracefully.”

I guess King hasn’t ever read any online comments, especially on right wing blogs.

Now King (R-IRA) knows how the families of those killed by the IRA felt when King made pronouncements supporting the IRA. A feeling of being verbally violated.

If anyone knows from “vulgar, rabid and adolescent,” it’s Peter King.

Pete: The calls that say you look and sound like a cranky old lesbian are not from Cruz supporters.

They are from me.

Funny thing is, if the Democratic party would disappear tomorrow the R party would turn on each other like rabid wolves.

Because Democrats want to govern, Republicans want to rule.

Perhaps you “adults” in the GOP should have disciplined those same children when they misbehaved immediately following President Obama’s election back in 2008. Oh, it was convenient back then, you say – and directed at that uppity black man in our White House? Now, the bad children of the corn are turning their knives on you. Stop crying and take it like a man.

It’s ironic that he thinks his women staffers, in particular, shouldn’t be subjected to this stuff, as he is essentially describing the online communication stream of every woman in public life.

“Frankly, I can not imagine supporters of Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, or other candidates reacting so disgracefully.”

In other words, Pete King has apparently been asleep for the past decade and hasn’t noticed what’s become of his own party.

Welcome back to reality, Congressman! Kind of ugly, isn’t it?

Peter King:

“I never, in my entire life, imagined that after I helped usher all these dogs into my house that they would then start pissing on the furniture, the floor, and even my leg! Never in my entire life!”

He must recruit his “females” from the same lot Huckabee uses. Delicate little flowers, they are.

Try calling those other guys carnival barkers and see what you get, Pete. While King is a war mongering maniac, I do enjoy him taking on the Tea Party nuts.

Oh yeah? Well Cruz’s supporters are just plain creepy!

Oh, wait, Cruz was who you were calling an “angry unhinged man.” Never mind. But you can see why I was confused.
