McConnell's contingency plan

[Recursion]

Rich Lowry at the National Review suggesting McConnell has blinked:

It’s beginning to get out on the Hill. It’s complicated, but here is the gist as I understand it: Congress authorizes in legislation the president to submit a request for an increase in the debt limit in three tranches over the next year or so, with corresponding proposals for spending cuts; when the president submits his request, Congress immediately considers a resolution of disapproval; if the resolution passes, the president can veto it and–assuming his veto is subsequently upheld–he gets the increase in the debt limit. Got it? More later…

Here's the link although that's all there is to it right now...

1. The chin-less turtle HAS no contingency plan. All he cares about is getting rid of the "darkie".

The GOP isn't even attempting to hide their sick racism anymore. Fuck those assholes.

[Major Hogwash]

2. McConnell only has 1 plan -- Blame Obama!!!

Whether the debt ceiling is raised or not!!

3. assuming his veto is subsequently upheld–he gets the increase in the debt limit

Not likely to work, eh?

4. Neither Boehner nor McConnell have the votes for an override, particularly...

...since both Reid and Pelosi will almost certainly make those votes gut checks

5. Looks like he wants to shirk his responsibility

and let Obama take the blame for all spending, in spite of Congressional Responsibility.
