I think we have to admit that McCain does bare some resemblance to Smeagol.
I think the problem with the Tea Partiers is that they see it as being their way or nothing. I understand their perspective and conviction but I think the issue is that they want to do it ALL at once. No compromise, every vote they make must include everything they think has to be done for the next 20 years of government. I think the problem is if we do it their way the whole economy is going to come crashing down. People compl
When our economy is plagued by the cancer of debt then compromise is not the best idea. Lets wait a few more years for the tumor to grow, or just chop tiny parts off it. Either you deal with it or let it consume you. The Tea Party movement is just the rationalization of that fact, after years of denial the populace is finally accepting the situation and urgently want it dealt with.
Hearing McCain complain about peoples actions inadvertently re-electing Obama is just hilarious. After his amazing run fro
Forcing a default on the US government, sending massive shockwaves through the global economy, which is already trying to deal with a potential partial Eurozone meltdown, that's not a sensible solution. That's the solution that self-destructive nihilists would take. It's almost like a financial Armageddon cult has taken over Congress.
And Obama, well, he gets the chance to do a number of things, including the 14th Amendment stunt, and look like the calm, collected rational president, just like when Bill Cl
There you go, swallowing those lies and mistruths you've heard blasted louder than anything else, on every major media outlet (and on some of the smaller ones). Refusing to not borrow more money will not, in fact, force the government to default on it's loans. The government still has enough money to pay the interest on the loans, no muss, no fuss. It may not be able to pay other people; foreign aid, congress, defense contractors, but it will not default on it's loans unless the President chooses to. Not to
The teabaggers don't give a shit about the finances. They have seen an opportunity for a major power grab and are on to it now. They redefined a routine move, that was expected to come when the last budget was voted for, into a make-or-break moment for the US. And they are perfectly willing to break it for their power gains.
If by "power" you mean, power to reduce the size of the Federal Government, then you are right. Redefining a routine move? If you don't understand that raising our borrowing limit and borrowing more money being a "routine move" is a major problem that needs to be corrected, then I'm afraid you are mind controlled.
Ah, one dollar for everyone without an argument making a snipe at my username. It's a pretty good idiot trap, isn't it? Helps me recognize the point when further discussion is useless.
