Dear Senators
YOU ARE TO BLAME. Here is what S&P said
The big lie in the Establishment media is that this was caused by Tea Party holding the Debt Ceiling bill hostage. That is a total lie that all Conservative/Libertarians need to be nuking right now.
S&P said no such thing. What S&P said is

One day after lowering the nations platinum triple-A credit rating, Standard & Poors analysts warned Saturday that the U.S. government could face a second downgrade if the economy continues to struggle and the government fails to make the cuts outlined in the debt ceiling agreement.

Lets stop the BS. The communists King Obama and his empire has destroyed our economy. It has nothing to do with Bush or the Tea Party. Democrats resemble communists.

Right now, the blame totally is with the Democrat Party and the do nothing budget they refuse to write and exhibit to all Americans. Their only plan is to upgrade and tax more, then spend the results for more votes. This is not a way out of anything. We will be down graded farther if this happens.

To continue your metaphor,(”both are full of S*it”) I was going to say that the two Johns should meet each other in another john to do their “bipartisan” work.
Here comes John McCain again as the Left’s best friend.
Here comes John McCain again to flush away any significance
in being a member of “the opposition party”.

Bipartisanship is what got us here, IMO
To: rabscuttle385
Figures. The two biggest jaska$$es in the senate get together to figure out how to “save” us. It’s the spending IDIOTS.
