Boehner pulls condom off debt ceiling plan

[DainBramaged]

America fucked again.





I am confident that no plan will be voted on in time to prevent default, and as they had planned from the beginning, the President will be blamed.



I think a piece fell off the chessboard.

1. They have a deadline--it's next week--so it's On With The Show

The R's game is brinksmanship, it _requires_ a crisis as the fulcrum so that they can leverage the power of their minority position.

Everyday the media hypes this into greater and greater anxiety...which is exactly what the R's want.

2. Yep, but what bothers me

is the unwillingness of Democrats to let them play that game and then lay the mess right at their feet. Is our new media really that bad that this can't be done?

3. I'm not sure the blame is with the media...

They recognize this has reached the level of public attention. Public attention sells advertising.

The source of the BS is the show going on in DC.

4. Yes.

It is that bad.

5. I listened to the Puke whip on M$NBC on the way in (on XM)

and all he did was speak bullshit. Even Chuckie was calling him on it.



America knows what is going on. The problem is, the Pukes are getting away with it.

6. We'll get a deal.

It's just not time yet. They need the credit rating of the US to be adjusted so they can all cash in. Then the deal will happen and life will move on to the next job creating tax cut we need.
