Sometimes I can't help myself and I take a look at what the RedStaters are saying. There just are no words to describe them so I will let them speak for themselves. This morning, I found the statement below, but I could have picked any one among hundreds of comments along the same line.
This comment was made in a diary titled "Democrats and their Budget Hypocrisy Leading to #DemocratShutdown" written by Daniel Horowitz, which is, as of this writing the lead story at the top of the main RedState webpage.

Mr. H. I don't think they fear anything. They (individually) have their houses in order. Obama is after one thing and one thing only...the complete control of the USA.
With each step that this man takes, every action, he puts us closer and closer to a dictatorship. No I am not a conspiracy theorist. It sounds like it...but it isn't. If we look back at every action that this president and this democratic congress has taken...it has taken rights away from the people and redistributed wealth. He is still hanging on to his rich fat cat friends in the banks...but sooner or later they are going to fall also (see articles on how much debt the Fed holds and where it will take us).
It is ludicrous to think that we can enact Obamacare. Really. Companies are laying off, we have already hit one bubble with Sallie Mae...and we are about to hit another when these people go to look for a job. The internals of the banking system, i.e., reverse mortgages has gone up in smoke. Detroit was the first to go bankrupt...but how many cities run by Democrats are just about there? He won't allow the Keystone Pipeline, where we would have improving job numbers. He has done everything he could to put Mom and Pop out of business. He has blackmailed companies to get $$ from them...it's the Chicago Way.
Meanwhile...back at the ranch...he is playing the Populist role of being with the people. 50% of our population is on the government dole AND he JUST TOLD THE STATES TO STAND DOWN concerning border crossing today! He has overwhelmed the system...right down to the period and commas in Saul Alinsky's book.
Expect him to follow the Constitution and the rules of the Congress?? Mr. H...that has proven to be false at every turn in the road. He does what he wants, bypasses Congress, runs guns through whatever country, has an administration full of communists/socialist along with Hamas members who are entrenched in our National Security offices.
What is it going to take before we wake up. This guy is not on the side of America. Never was...never will be. To expect him, because the law says so, to do something won't happen.
When the debt ceiling comes up...if this thing lasts that long and the Republicans don't cave...he will just raise it himself just like Mark Levin said last night. Why shouldn't he...there are not checks and balances...he bought the judges, intimidated the rest of Congress and he is home free and America is gone.
How blue in the face was this person by the time he/she finished that?
Just a few comments:
They are in the process of deifying Ted Cruz. He is already on par with Jesus Christ and there is a chance he may be the second coming of Reagan himself. He only needs to deliver the miracle of stopping ObamaCare to achieve that distinction.
In the last day they seem to have gotten their act together a little and have stopped castigating Republicans and have gotten back to the business of demonizing Obama and Democrats. That has coincided with a temporary absence of Erick Erickson posting anything. He last posted just before midnight on the 3rd so it has only been a little over a day.
In the days since the government shutdown began Erickson had been vigorously bashing and condemning RINOs for their treatment of Ted Cruz. It seems that he was trying to thwart a complete denunciation of Cruz by the Republican establishment and likely succeeded in doing so and there is probably a truce currently in effect. No doubt there are a lot of discussions taking place between the Republican leaders and the mouthpieces, of which Erickson is one.
What, however, is going to happen when the eventual capitulation occurs? The kind of vitriol displayed above is going to be unleashed on the so called RINOs.
Stock up on popcorn. You're going to need it.
