Poor Sen. Mike Lee Whimpers About He and Ted Cruz Facing ‘Demeaning’ ‘All Out Attack’

In an interview with conservative radio host, Hugh Hewitt Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said that he and his cohort, Tail Gunner Ted Cruz had been unfairly attacked by fellow Republicans in a recent closed-door meeting over their campaign to use a government shutdown to stop “Obamacare” from going into effect.

He said that they normally have a very strict rule about not talking about what goes on in such meetings but that since some other Senators had “leaked” to the press reports that he and Cruz had been castigated for what the more moderate elements of the party see as the damaging push to shut the government down, he felt that he could speak of it this time.

He said, “It was an all-out attack against Ted Cruz and me. It was unflattering. It was unfair. It was demeaning.” Going on he added, “It was demeaning to Senator Cruz and to me, but more than anything it was demeaning to those who engaged in the attacks.”

Claiming that he and Cruz have the full support of the base, he said that they Senators who had attacked them were afraid to come forward and admit to having taken part, because they know that the people will turn on them and vote them out of office the next time around.

According to Lee this tactic is going to succeed, he says that it is now obvious that it is an “unstoppable” movement, backed by the American people, even though all of the polls show that the people as a whole did not and do not support shutting down the government or defunding Obamacare. There are still many who are apprehensive about the law and it’s implications however even so they do not think that the way to oppose it is to bring the government to a complete standstill just to stop something that is actually unstoppable.

While he speaks of the attacks as personal attacks he offers no examples of the personal nature of anything that was said merely insisting that he and Tail Gunner are being unfairly maligned and refusing to name names of those who supposedly attacked him so unfairly.

He finished up the interview by saying that there is little chance that the House will pass a clean CR and vowing that if they do he will never vote for it when it comes to the Senate.

I've heard all of the ludicrous talking points and self-victimizing rhetoric, but Frank Schubert's latest take on the Proposition 8 legal case might be the biggest bout of sore-loserdom I'm ever witnessed from an anti-LGBT commentator.

In an article that originated at the Public Discourse (a project of the conservative Witherspoon Institute) and has made its way around the conservative media space, the National Organization For Marriage political director and Prop 8 campaign mastermind stops trying to beat his opponents in the school of thought. Instead, Schubert pushes a new meme claiming that those of us on the right side of history "cheated" people like him. Here's a snippet:

The Cheaters Won
It’s only natural for people to want to know how I feel about the outcome, not only from a policy perspective but also from a personal perspective. After all, I put my heart into managing (and winning) the Prop 8 campaign in 2008, and since then have spent much of my professional career working on preserving marriage throughout the nation.
Here’s how I feel.
I feel like we were cheated. Just like I felt as a kid watching the bad guy put a sleeper hold on his opponent, or hitting him below the belt or with the brass knuckles while the referee had his back turned, so have the legal system and politicians cold-cocked the people of California—seven million of whom went to the polls to lawfully enact Prop 8. Only this time, I realize there’s not likely to be a rematch. The cheaters won.
I feel like the rule of law has been shredded, and conniving politicians have been rewarded for ignoring their sworn oath of office. Public confidence in the judicial system has been dealt a severe blow. Supporters of same-sex “marriage” may be happy with the result today, but hold on until the tables are turned and a conservative governor and attorney general refuse to defend a law they don’t personally support, and there’s nobody left with standing to defend it. The seeds of that action will have been sown by leftist politicians like Brown, Harris, and Schwarzenegger.
