...On Sunday, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he had six words of warning for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio): “If you break it, you own it.”...

[skimbell]

What's with democrats not being able to count?

Oh well,...let's do a 360, and get the he11 out of here.

[wastedyears]

Democrat policies caused this whole mess in the first place.

[DrC]

Is that why Obama is seeking to break the health care system? So he can own it?

[sthguard]

Leave it to a Democrat to skip right to “owning” something without even trying to buy it!

[camerongood210]

Sorry Dick. Blabber-mouth has already claimed ownership

[Paladin2]

Dear Dick,

Pass the CC&B or go home.

How dare these Democrats insist on tax hikes in order to prevent debt default? Forget that. I know how they dare, it’s all Democrats ever want to do — raise taxes!

[hinckley buzzard]

Count heck, I just wish they'd find some new cliches instead of wearing out the old ones till they don't even make sense anymore.

[Mach9]

Nice catch.

[cableguymn]

How can you break something the democrats already broke and already claimed ownership of?

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Senator Dubin has seen his best days!!! Tagline: Moron & Buffoon combined!!!

[LostInBayport]

Democrat policies caused this whole mess in the first place.

Listening to Fox News Sunday now with TurboTax Timmy Geithner stuttering through an interview. In his big boy voice he was telling Chris Wallace that we have to show the ratings agencies that we can get our fiscal house in order.

What a hypocrite! Has he forgotten the gazillion-dollar Obamacare nightmare? The trillion-dollar "stimulus" waste? The administration he works for has spent trillions in just two years, getting us to the precipice way early.

Oh, and the little worm IS threatening the Social Security checks, and saying Congress will be responsible. And told Wallace "it's not fair" to ask where Obama's plan is. What a loser.

[Chgogal]

Durbin, didn't the Senate vote against the Obama budget this year?

You irresponsible bastards have not passed a budget in over 800 days.

You and President DumbA$$ have accumulated an additional $4-$5 TRILLION in deficit spending, forcing an increase in the debt ceiling.

So don't you dare spout anymore fecal matter you mental midget.

[FrankR]

The dems don’t have anything in this to be broken...no budget in over 800 days; Reid blocking the vote; obama pitching hissy fits;and now Durbin quoting from the democrate/MSM best seller, “Smart Ass Cliches for Any Occasion”

[DManA]

Here’s the democrat plan - sit back and rope-a-dope.

Raw conscienceless partisanship

[Navy Patriot]

Sorry Dickie Turban, ya can't break somethin' that doesn't exist, and the DemoRat Federal Budget has not existed for more than 800 days.

Anyway, Dirty Debbie, Rat National Chair already said that Rats own it.

“Here’s the democrat plan - sit back and rope-a-dope.”

I think Durbin is telegraphing the real plan - crash the markets (the Fed could do it) and then foment a mob of welfare collecting deadbeats and federal employees to march on Capitol Hill to demand a debt increase. Wall Street would be doing the same after a crash.

A crash is what the democrats want, and they can make it happen using the same tools they’ve used to pump the markets up.
