Republicans may push debt ceiling to 11tth hour

[The Rabbi]

Yes, across the table from the same Republican leadership that said opposing an increase was dangerous and irresponsible

I think the Republicans are still saying that raising the debt ceiling is dangerous and irresponsible. they ain't gonna let it happen either without some serious concessions from the dimwits.

The current Republican leadership used to believe that failing to raise the ceiling was irresponsible and dangerous.

O Rly?

"That [defaulting] would be a financial disaster, not only for our country, but for the worldwide economy. Remember, the American people on election day said, 'we want to cut spending and we want to create jobs.' And you can't create jobs if you default on the federal debt."

-Boehner

The debt ceiling should not be increased

Of course, and China shall rule the world.

Yeah? So what? Boehner hasn't defaulted. He didnt declare that raising the debt was a failure of leadership. And then turn around and declare it's of vital national importance. Like Obama. Or did you miss that too?

 

[8537]

Yeah? So what?

Lol.

 

[The Rabbi]

Yeah? So what?

Lol.

Translation: Don't confuse me with the facts.

The Democrats should let them filibuster, it would create a democratic super majority for years.

But Republicans won't let us default and give democrats a long term winning in congress and presidency. And Democrats will cave because they won't default.

Oh really? Have any evidence to back that up?

You have no facts, Rabbi. You have a laundry list of rightwing talking points, a comedy full of errors and a washing machine that can always wash in hot water.

It was attributed the first time I posted in this thread - to house speaker John Boehner.

I post facts in every thread and show you to be the noob you are.
You have yet to substantiate anything you've written. One quote from Speaker Boehner (that's so fun to write!) does not establish that "Republicans" believe anything.

Republicans may push debt talks to 11th hour | Reuters

The Democrats should let them do it. When they start tagging their votes with multiple social engineering issues, the Dems should hold their ground. Then when we default and the interest rate rises to heights never seen before, voters will know who caused it. The "it's not about the budget" Republicans with their slightly retared tea baggers comrads.

What a stupid tool you are. Obama is the one who voted not to raise the Debt Ceiling to cause a government shutdown & default. Now Obama says he made a mistake when he voted against raising the debt limit in 2006. So the inexperienced Obama was making mistakes & fucking up right & left in Congress and you were retarded enough to vote him into the most powerful position in the world & now you shill & carry water for him. Is it true that retarded people like yourself don't realize just how stupid you are? (Your lack of response to this question will be considered a yes)

White House: Obama Vote Against Raising Debt Limit a 'Mistake'

If President Obama knew then what he knows now, he would not have voted against raising the debt limit in 2006.

That was the explanation trotted out by the White House Monday, as it sought to square the administration's pleas to Congress to lift the debt ceiling by next month against Obama's voting history. As a senator in 2006, Obama voted against raising the debt limit. But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the president now views that vote as a "mistake."

"He now believes it was a mistake," Carney said. He said Obama understands that senators want to make it clear when they disagree with the administration but that there are other ways to go about doing it. He said the debt ceiling vote is not something Washington "can play around with," warning that a failure to lift the cap would be "Armageddon-like" for the economy.
