Republicans should be called Terrorists for their threat to refuse to raise the Debt Ceiling

[DaveofCali]

They should be branded for what they are: Terrorists, threatening to bring down the United States economy UNLESS Obama and the Democrats give in to their demands. This is worse than what many other terrorists do around the world.

Of course though, Republicans trying to do everything they can to prevent the economy from improving so that they can bring Obama down is not only bullying, its TREASON. It's a betrayal of a Political Party to its Nation to intentionally harm America and millions of people that will be a victim of it just for an attempt of political gain. This is not the United States of Republicans, it's the United States of America. Republicans don't own this country, and they betray their mandate to govern, purely for political gain.

Republicans should be called out on their terrorism so Americans will know just how crazy the Republican Party is if Americans go into default in August 2nd.

1. I was just going to post the same thing and name them AL QAEDA REPUBLICANS.

They're looking to achieve the exact same goal as Bin Laden - collapse the US economy for their own personal and political gain.

2. +1

3. let's get this spread...

33. Patriot Act DID say significant economic disruption is considered an act of

terror....the laws are here, it's just their enforcement that we need.

[AlinPA]

4. They want the default to occur. If they vote to raise the debt ceiling the Teabaggers will

vote them out of office.

[Harry Callahan]

5. The flip side is that we are terrorizing future generations by burying them under piles of debt.

[blm]

6. Defaulting would INCREASE debt more not lessen it in any way.

[Harry Callahan]

8. Defaulting is not a serious consideration...Everything else is.

[arbusto_baboso]

13. Prove it.

[blm]

18. Yeah, sure...and US banks don't charge fees if you miss your payments, either.

Republicans LOVE their banksters and are looking for MORE ways to rob the middle class to enrich the powerful financial elite. Useful fools help them by catapulting their propaganda on message boards.

[blm]

7. curious....did you side with Republicans when they raised debt ceiling 8 times for Bush?

If you posted against it then, please point me to that post...thank you.

[arbusto_baboso]

9. Don't bother with this one. He's a troll. Notice the screenname?

He thinks he's Dirty Harry. He's a coward and an asswipe.

[Harry Callahan]

11. I oppose irresponsible government...why have a debt ceiling, if it doesn't mean anything?

BTW, I wasn't here then.

[arbusto_baboso]

12. No, you were probably over at Free Republic, cheerleading.

[Harry Callahan]

27. Been there, been banned...

It did not effect my sleep habits whatsoever.

[arbusto_baboso]

29. Quelle Surprise.

Yeah, that's French. You gonna call me a Commie now?

[checks-n-balances]

14. Who started piling up this debt other than the Bush administration?

Who began his administration with a budget surplus, but ran up record deficits with tax cuts for the wealthy and two unfunded wars?

We are under piles of debt that he started. Do you acknowledge that??

Just reverting back to taxing the upperclass the way it was done in the fifties and sixties would take care of these high deficits.

Oh, and by the way, Social Security and Medicare have not contributed to the deficit, yet they're on the table.

[Harry Callahan]

15. My reading of the Constitution would seem to indicate the the legislative branch

is responsible for spending. The executive branch does not have that authority.

[blm]

17. Bush WH controlled the output of GOP house/senate with an iron fist. The thieves of Wall St had no

worries from Bush's WH or the GOP congress as they collapsed our nation's economy by robbing the middle class into near oblivion.

[Harry Callahan]

21. The thieves of Wall St had no worries from Obama's WH or the Democratic congress either.

24. You avoided the fact that Bush controlled GOP budget priorities that LED to the enormous debt.

And apparently you are invested in absolving Bush of any responsibility for the crushing debt.

[arbusto_baboso]

25. I'd like to see this obvious troll provide even one shred of documentation...

for his arrogant pronouncements. I won't hold my breath, though.

[Harry Callahan]

26. Bush was/is no doubt an idiot, but he only started two wars...

:sarcasm:

War priorities...

[blm]

28. you forgot Bush's war against the middle and working class....for his global fascist elite cronies

.

[arbusto_baboso]

20. Apparently your reading of the Constitution doesn't include the 14th Amendment.

If it did, you might realize that what the Republican House is doing is unconstitutional.

[Harry Callahan]

22. The difference is that I also comprehend and interpret...

Besides that, default is not on the table.

10. I've been calling them terrorists for at least a year now

It doesn't seem to be catching on though.

19. EXACTLY!

30. I have to agree!

From a recent thread I wrote here:

Economic treason: The definition of "treason" and could Republicans become guilty of this crime?

"Why is not the threat to make the U.S. government default on its debt the equivalent of economic treason? Every time one of the Republicans steps out and threatens to vote no on raising the debt ceiling, is he or she not giving aid and comfort to our enemies?

If a terrorist group boasts it will destroy the U.S. Government by breaking it economically, as the late Osama bin Laden himself repeatedly said he would do, is an American citizen threatening to cast a vote which will prevent the lifting of the current debt ceiling not giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

Keep in mind it is the Republicans themselves who boast that the late Ronald Reagan took down the Soviet Union simply by destroying its economy. By doing so, they imply this technique is an effective but non-violent approach to destroying one's political enemy."

I believe we should be saying this often and very loudly. But most of all, those with a bigger microphone who are suppose to protect our interests should be saying it as well.

and Thank You for saying it.
