@janschakowsky Republicans, stop fragging the American people. Debt ceiling raised 18 times under Reagan. No excuse for this...

1. Fragging indeed! Say it again!

You should read the posts on her facebook! Conservatives still arguing about raising the debt ceiling even while we face a downgrade! http://fb.com/janschakowsky

2. Agreed

I was cruising the headlines and I am proud to see my Congresswoman on the front page! It was enough to make me (finally!) register.
I have been a "fan" of her page for over a year now and they have finally got some active support going - the place used to be completely overrun with trolls.

7. I've never seen a group of congresspeople so completely ignorant & passionate on being wrong

8. Their's should be the 1st checks they stop payment on & cancel their health care

9. Tea Party republicans in charge is like giving the entire hotel/restuarant over to the dishwasher

3. About 99% of US citizens should be criticizing the GOP for this manufactured crisis.

There is no reason for this crisis, NONE AT ALL!!!!


The Tea Baggers and the Republican Party politicians made this one up. It's not a hurricane, or other disaster, Republicans and ONLY Republicans made it a disaster waiting to happen, for their own stupid reasons.

4. That's what is making this so much worse. It is causing REAL damage and it is so unnecessary.

They created a crisis and are causing true damage.

It is unbelievable. It is insane.

They are not "loyal opposition". They are now an insurrectionary party. They flout the law when they are in the majority, then they threaten disorder when in minority - making it impossible to govern.

5. TNR Link --> Good read

Thanks for the link. I think that John Judis hit the nail on the head here, and the situation probably warrants decisive action on Obama's part. Hopefully he will do what needs to be done.
