Tea Party Scorns Republicans as House Lifts Debt Ceiling

[Purveyor]

House Republican leaders sought to shield themselves from blame for another round of U.S. fiscal uncertainty by advancing a debt-limit increase without strings.

Small-government groups are blaming them anyway for yesterday’s vote. They’re accusing them of abandoning Republican principles and are vowing to extract a political price in this year’s congressional elections.

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, urged Republicans in his chamber to follow their House counterparts and allow a vote on the debt-limit bill to send it to President Barack Obama for his signature.

“We should wrap this up today,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “I hope we can vote on this and vote soon.”

House Speaker John Boehner and many in his leadership team were among the 28 Republicans who joined with Democrats yesterday to pass a suspension of the debt ceiling until March 15, 2015. The vote was 221-201.
