Before you knee-jerks get your panties in a twist, think about McConnels plan: It dumps the whole issue in Obama's lap.

The media can't blame the Republicans. The Demos can't blame the Repubs.

No tax increase is authorized.

The plan is worth considering.

McConnel is no dummy, politically.

Sorry - “Strategic Surrender” has never been a viable option... At some point, principle, honor, courage, and zeal IN DEFENSE OF THE CONSTITUTION, have to take precedence over political considerations....

Of COURSE this idea will put the blame on the GOP - and rightly so: the Constitution (remember that?) gives th House the authority to plan the nation’s finances, and we just gave control of the House to the Republicans so they could financially stop Obama in his tracks.

If the GOP turns around and ABDICATES that responsibility given to them, of COURSE they’re to blame!

What are you freaking nuts? The Media would still blame the GOP for failing to affirmatively reject the increase in the debt limit, and since Obama hates capitalism, he will raise the debt limit to the max as part of his plan to transition the United States from a capitalist country to a socialist and eventually a Marxist economy. Again, his goal is to destroy America economically and then rebuild our Country in the image of Castro, Chavez, et al. McConnell's plan just makes Obama' plan a whole lot easier.

I'm convinced that these folks read the headline only before hitting "REPLY" - By golly, this plan, if it works, is absolutely brilliant. president "present" now must lurch out of the underbrush like a one winged duck - directly into our line of fire.

Please pass the popcorn. The worm has turned.

That might work, if the Dems were rational, and the MSM didn't provide them cover 24-7. The Dems will still blame the GOP, the MSM will report it, and the Dem throngs will continue apace, and the budget will continue to explode with this "good strategic idea". No benefit for the country, but yes, clever.

This mess 0 has created is far too serious to be playing STUPID POLITICAL GAMES. I’ve seen the plan explained. It’s CRAP.

It’s a cowards way out using inside DC gobbldygook language in which, as history proves, the GOP and conservatives get DUPED again by Dems.

You can’t negotiate with liars and Mitch and Crybaby are stupid to even try.

It’s much simpler: DO NOTHING! The Constitution requires paying the interest on the debt ($20 billion a month) if we reach the ceiling and then cut, cut, cut, cut. No more borrowing period.

Take it or leave it. Let him lie about Social Security checks to scare idiots. Ain’t gonna happen and everyone knows it since that’s just another $25-30 billion a month and we currently have close to $200 billion a month coming in even with this crappy economy.

Oh sure, they just give Obongo all the power and then they disclaim all the responsibility, victory through weakness!...

...except they forgot one little thing, they are responsible for giving him all the power! Too clever by half!
