I hear you :)

The Marxists got us into this mess incrementally, "what's mine is mine what's yours is negotiable".

Demanding the GOP to solve our fiscal problem all at one time while they only control 1/3 of the federal government is not reasonable. And as a practical manner, it is not going to happen either.

I happen to be one that think the stuff will hit the fan soon, maybe even Aug2 although that seems less likely. But when the stuff does hit the fan I want the GOP hands to be clean, I would rather not give the Marxists the debt issue to bloody the GOP with. Some day soon the markets will solve the US borrow and spend problem and when that happens it will be the Marxists not the GOP that will be blamed. Then, maybe, we can restore the Republic. IMHO the GOP is playing this high stakes poker game exactly correct.

The Marxists are going to demagogue the GOP no matter what. So the GOP may as well fight, since the Marxists are going to blame them for everything anyway. The next election should not be the focal point as to whether or not we starting unraveling this government monster. Do the Democrats worry they're going to lose if they propose more taxes? Apparently not.

Since the GOP took the House, they have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to stop the Marxists. Have they defunded the EPA? No. Have they defunded Obamacare? No. Have they balanced the budget? No. Have the at least made a significant dent in the annual budget deficit? No. The GOP is terrified of fighting. Oooooooh if we shut down the government the world is going to end. Bull. At least then we might get some real negotiations, instead of this idiocy where we're haggling with the Marxists over billions, when we owe trillions.

For me, if the GOP punts on this debt ceiling issue, I'm done with them.
