Why are you posting articles about 2006? Republicans controlled the House, they controlled the Senate, and they controlled the White House. Biden's vote against raising the debt ceiling was a mere protest vote that was meaningless. That is not what happened here. Here, Republicans control the House, and yet it was Democrats, and a few disciplined Republicans, that extended the debt ceiling and honored the agreement that was reached months ago.
That is important, because spending bills originate in the House. I mean what the hell happened to "honor"? Make no doubt about it, these Republicans that voted against extending the deficit ceiling, against paying for things they, or their body, has already passed, are no different than the assholes that practice the art of dine and dash.
Worse, they made an agreement, and now they want to change the terms of that agreement. Where is the honor? What happened to a handshake and a man's word was his bond? That is the very foundation of the founding of this country. And I will give the split tailed bitches that now roost in the Republican party a break. They ain't nothing but trash. They deserve nothing but pity, the responsibility lies with the dumbshit electorate that voted them in office. MTG, Boebert--glad to see that white trash is represented in the US Congress. Have to say, I am not surprised with the results.
