How many more times do we need to get blackmailed before we call their fucking bluff?

[Logical]

Calling their bluff on this is a WINNING play!! Polls show that most Americans want the taxes raised on the rich.

The GOP will NOT let the USA default. They know it will destroy them.

But they are MUCH BETTER at standing their ground than the Dems.

So they will win again!

1. Are you suggesting Obama be primaried if he caves again?

I know a lot of people are thinking that same thing...

[tridim]

2. "So they will win again!" is not "calling their bluff"..

It is giving up.

Maybe that's the problem?

3. as long as we continue to be decent and they continue to cheat n/t

[TBF]

4. If he has a brain in his head he will call their bluff. nt

[woo me with science]

5. The sooner this is recognized as the new modus operandi, the better.

This is an orchestrated crisis to circumvent involving the people in these decisions...

And it is part of an evolving, repetitive strategy that people had better start recognizing for what it is.

7. You know it and I know it.

9. The Tea Party caucus WILL cause the US to default. That is their goal. their GOAL. n/t

[SolutionisSolidarity]

11. The Tea Party is controlled by the CoC and Wall St.

You think they will cause a default? There will be no default with rich people money on the line, Boehner has already said as much. This is theater, and bad theater at that. Obama won't call their bluff because he's playing along.

10. They are playing chicken and you are right, they will not let the

government default.
