They are now doing the things TP was accused of

Adopting the very thing they accused Teaparty of is insanity on steroid

Days before the so-called "government shutdown," the Teaparty senators launched an all out filibuster pushing for a few things including a vote to prevent Senate Majority Leader (ML) Sen Harry Reid from passing the budget using the same trick they used to pass the Obamacare - aka Affordable Care Act - which was a 50 + president vote. Another thing Senators Cruz and Lee fought for was to extend the "Individual Mandate" - the law which forces all Americans to buy healthcare insurance or pay a fine, for another year. Prior to the House budget,the Obama administration, through their website, announced that "Mandate for Businesses" would be extended a year. Which means that big companies won't have to pay taxes or penalty for not abiding by the ACA law, but Individuals will. Coming from the man who claims to represent the "One Percenters" and a leader that claims to fight against big corporation on behalf of the little people, the secret announcement was rather fishy and unconstitutional at best. He - President Obama, nor the cabinet, don't have the right nor the authority to amend an existing law without the vetting of the legislative branch. An "Executive Order" addressing matters relating to public policy is quite the opposite of using the same authority to "unilaterally" alter, or stay, a major portion of an existing law. This is a constitutional authority reserved for the Legislative branch - the lawmaking branch of government. But the Democrat went ahead with his order anyway. To them, the constitution doesn't matter! For Senators Cruz and Lee, the assault was all too soon and too much, but albeit, anticipated.
Sen Cruz took to the floor of the Senate fighting against these fiats with the support of Sen. Lee and other Teaparty leaders of the Senate, to a point that even their own party started blasting and darting harsh criticism against them. The unshaken Democrats stood their grounds but not without calling these well-meaning TP senators some of the most vile words ever used in politics by any party, let alone, majority leader of a major party. Reid, Obama, Pelosi and the media called these TP leaders; terrorists, suicide-bombers, hostage takers, terrorists, know-nothings, radicals, arsonists, craps, etc etc, for simply calling for a year delay of the "Individual Mandate" and for refusing to fund this radical law, no Republicans ever voted for in 2010. Some Republican establishment leaders led by Sen. McCain, Sen. Graham, and Rep King of New York, took to the floor of the Senate and the media and blasting their fellow members in such passion they never used against their Democrat opponents. The innocent TP leaders were accused in such harsh tone more than those terrorists who are fighting against Americans day in and day out which this administration calling them - Terrorists!
But wait a minute, they are now considering a year extension to "Individual Mandate" after a few Democrats started accusing the government over this portion of the ACA? How interesting! So, it is terrorism at its highest form when TP senators fought for it, but now they are considering it because Democrats who are up for reelection now fear reprisal for government assault on them in favor of big corporations and businesses? How ridiculous can this be? The morning, US media now printing in bold-letters the possibility of delaying such monstrous law without any reference to the fact that they too blasted TP senators for fighting to extend the same damn thing. Its like MSNBC blasting George W. Bush of going into Iraq under the slogan of freeing Iraq from WMD and Hussein, and to liberate the Iraqi people from horrors of dictatorship, and then making the same damn argument in justifying Obama's approval for the attack on the Libyan leader Muammer Qadafi. This is media diarrhea in the faces of innocent viewers and subscribers. Such dishonesty is totally unacceptable!
If this administration fully delay the implementation of the "Individual mandate," TP senators should now pat their backs for when they were told they lost every thing, the Democrats once again demonstrated that they have the ability to shoot themselves in the foot. Every assault on American public by this radical administration would have been far worse but for the courage and bravery of the few TP leaders in Congress. Call them what they maybe, level them what you want Senator Reid, Obama and Pelosi, but in the end, you only have yourselves to blame for destroying this great country.
