Seriously people. Krugman hits the nail on the head/points out the elephant in the room:

In recent months, the G.O.P. seems to have transitioned from being the stupid party to being the crazy party.

I know, I’m being shrill. But as it grows increasingly hard to see how, in the face of Republican hysteria over health reform, we can avoid a government shutdown — and maybe the even more frightening prospect of a debt default — the time for euphemism is past.

Krugman is a delusional moron.
 
We seem to go through this hysteria every year.
Wasn't the sequester supposed to destroy the country?

The left acts like this will be the first time ever that the government has "shut down" and we are all still here.

Let this play out.Let's see if Obama shuts down the government and we go on from there.

If the left had facts and logic on their side, they wouldn't have to resort to hyperemotionalism.

No. The sequester was not supposedbtondestroybthe country. It was predicted that it would cause the recovery to be more sluggish. That is true.

A poor economy being your only hope to win elections....that is just fine with you.

Way to go, patriot.

Shutting down the government is bad but not a disaster.

The sequester is bad but not a disaster.

The U.S. defaulting on its debt is a disaster. It will cause an immediate worldwide depression.

Why are you replying to my posts? Have you thanked your fellow forum members today? Have you?

I just noticed that you have been here for almost a decade. Have you said anything original in all of that time?

Where's the hate in the article? Repubs take the house and think this gives them a mandate to be the wrecking crew. Just like what Gingrich and the boys did to clinton. Both clinton and obama are basically centrists who would never do anything to jeapordize the wealth of the 1%, (the same as you working stiff repubs for some strange reason). I can't imagine how your party would react if we ever got a true liberal or progressive in the white house, much less a socialist. Go for armed revolt?

Well....you must recognize who you are dealing with. They will certainly TALK about armed revolt. Just talk.
 
The fact remains that if ACA is as bad as the crazies in my party say, then why don't we let it run, and when it crashes, we will take the presidency, the Senate, the House with veto majorities, all of the state capitols and legies, and we can amend the Constitution all we want.

But it is not what we claim it to be, although it requires major modification.

^ that. Repubs are fauxraged over it because they know it'll work & they'll end up having egg on their faces. Sen Coburn (R-TX) knows it, thats why he thinks Rafael & the 50 or so eXtreme Righties in the House are taking it too far.
