Nice there goes the country!

[mrsmith]

It’s a congressional authorization to raise the debt ceiling. Period.

The rest is camouflage, superfluous.

[tennmountainman]

A pox on them all. Much work and a lot of great candidates will be needed for 2012.

[Principled]

This is disgusting.

Hello third party. Good-bye mitch. Good=bye john.

Hello Sarah!

Irresponsible money grubbing corrupt lying politicians. They're much more comfortable dragging the country further and further into debt and into economic slavery then they are in making the TOUGH and RIGHT choices.

Scripture has indicated that the United States is doomed to become a vassal nation...a nation unimportant in international affairs. A nation that is essentially a slave nation to our foreign overlords.

The only good thing is that we are that much closer to the return of real, responsible government....the return and reign of Jesus Christ.

Im sick!!

As always, the RINO's are folding, and the Democrats will hold onto the Presidency and the Senate in 2012.

There's NO HOPE for this country......NONE.

[Candor7]

Obama and his RINO enabling bastids know NO shame. A false crisis and a treasonous usurpation of Congress and the people.

I have been interested in this for quite some time. However, no one has shown me definitive proof of that which you speak. Can you point me to the scripture you mention concerning the United States of America.
Thanks.

Under the emerging proposal, Obama would be able to order increases in the debt ceiling on his own, without congressional approval.

This gives Obama a blank check to underwrite his vision of a Euromerica...and as such, it is long piece of rope for his own hanging.

[ken21]

is this constitutional?

[quantim]

Repealing the 17th Amendment should get consideration over trying to get push a balanced budget amendment.

[mark3681]

“is this constitutional?”

Can you remember the last time that mattered?

They’ve been working on this since FDR. Their time has come. This could be our last stand. Let’s make it count in 2012.

[doc1019]

Why would this be a consideration for this crowd?

[LostInBayport]

It seems a lot of the Republicans who nodded and said pretty words about the Tea Party either never understood us or were just placating us.

This will be one of those moments that Mitch and all of those jelly-spined RINOs will someday wish they could get back. Of course, they will preface those thoughts with “Yes, I remember the Republican Party...”

[The Cajun]

I wonder if these bastards ever think about the actions set in motion by the *first tea party*.......Just asking.
