First Boehner Hiccups Now McConnell........

[global1]

this is not going good for the Repugs is it?

[Turbineguy]

1. Their Masters have spoken

Don't raise the limit and we'll cut off your vigorish.

[global1]

2. I Guess The Repugs Don't Understand The Concept Of Shared Sacrifice.....nt

[Turbineguy]

12. Well they understand

the part with the sac(k). It's where you put the payola.

3. No, it isn't.

I just hope that Obama completely rejects McConnell's latest proposal which does nothing but jeopardize the Dems' chances in the 2012 elections.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. I agree.......there is no other reason to try to drag this

out over the next several months. The repukes just want to keep reminding voters that Demskeep supporting the debt limit increase up until the elections.

[bluerum]

10. They raised the debt limit for buSh n chAINy four times. Why don't we remind folks about that.

Duplicitous scum bait.

[MineralMan]

4. They're both scared shitless. They've lost control of their own

caucus, and have no idea what to do. Instead of leading, they're following a scattering herd of wild animals. Their time is over, it seems.

[emulatorloo]

7. McConnell seemed particularly desperate with his "Obama must be defeated in 2012" performance

Asshole.

[spanone]

5. they are trying to set him up...don't do it, sir

[PoliticAverse]

6. Some people (I am one) believe there won't be a default...

because when it comes down to it the financial people behind the politicians
really don't want one. I understand some people do want one but although they
are a vocal group I think the group is small enough that they simply don't have
the votes to stop a debt limit increase.

[MineralMan]

8. Exactly. The corporations don't want a default. They'll

explain things to their Republican toadies shortly. I suspect they already have, which is why you're seeing Boehner and McConnell running scared today.

The ceiling will be raised in time. There is no option.

[KittyWampus]

11. No, it really isn't.
