The sad aspect of this betrayal is that 75% of the American people were behind a balanced budget and lowering the deficit. A rare occurence in this climate, the a majority of Republicans turned on their conservative base. ANYONE who voted for this ‘raise the debt ceiling bill’ should be voted out of office next election,period!
Start the mantra, ‘Obama is turning the American dream into the American nightmare and destroying our childrens future’. Repeat loud and often.
You make a good point (about the 75% of the people in support), because it goes to show (all the more to prove the point of the article), that the Establishment (Republican establishment in collusion with the Democrats) conspired against the people’s wishes. They ‘feared’ the criticism from the Democrats would jeopardize their lofty positions of power. They were not willing to put their jobs on the line for the sake of doing, not only what was the right thing to do, but to do so on behalf of, and in support of, the wishes of the people.

70% of Americans opposed Obamacare, but the Rats passed it anyway.
75% of Americans didn’t want the debt ceiling raised; the Rats and RINOs raised it anyway.
80% of Americans don’t want their taxes to increase; The Rats and RINOs will raise taxes anyway.
We don’t have a representative government anymore. The “awkward stage” Claire Wolfe described is rapidly coming to an end. Some might argue that it already has.
