Bachmann, Gohmert, King: Obama's Advisers Lied About Debt Limit

[Derechos]

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) accused both the president and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) of misleading the American people about the need to increase the debt limit by Aug. 2, saying on Wednesday advisers to the president are lying about the urgency of raising the debt ceiling.

"The speaker is getting bad advice," Gohmert said at a press conference. "I guess the problem with the speaker and him saying that is that he listened to the president. I'll urge the speaker not to believe the president anymore."

Gohmert, along with Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Steve King (R-Iowa), introduced a bill on Wednesday that would require the president to pay off interest on the nation's debt first, if the debt limit is not increased by Aug. 2.

The debt limit of $14.29 trillion was reached on May 16, and the Treasury Department estimates that the nation will begin the process of defaulting on its debts Aug. 2, now less than three weeks away.

11. Not Iowan but have the answer...

That's easy to explain. They are w branded. They worship false gods instead of the real God. Their world is upside-down and inside-out. To them truth is a lie, lies are the truth, up is down, in is out, oil is water, gold is meat, toxic fumes are clean air. In short, they worship all things satanic, and therefore are satanists.

12. I'm an Iowan. Republican caucus goers are"True Believers" Hard core teabag types and evangelicals

Bachman is an ideal candidate for their worldview.

Iowa Dems are a different kettle of fish than Iowa Republican Caucus goers.
