Sen. Harkin: "Cult Fringe" Holding Up Debt Ceiling Increase

Real Clear Politics ^ | 07/20/11

[MissesBush]

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) calls Republicans "dead-beat debtors" among other things during a Democratic press conference on Wednesday morning.

"The debate and fight is not between Democrats and Republicans. It's between some Republicans and their sort of cult fringe as I refer to them out there," Harkin said.

"Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past. Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years. Yet, they're not willing to pay the bills," Harkin said.

"Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past.

Then he is willing to scrap ObamaCare? These dems are liars. The American people are fools to put up with them. Sometimes I hear references to the "wisdom of the American people". I don't believe it for a minute or we wouldn't be where we are right now with $1.5T annual deficits. It is not just the politicians' fault. It is the peoples' fault.

Harkin is a liar.

When HarkinIdiot acknowledges that the far left is a “cult fringe” and that the left’s enviro-idiots are a “cult fringe,” I will perhaps consider halting in calling him an IDIOT. =.=

“Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, so we can spend more of someone else’s money.”

There, fixed it.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Every Democrat senator voted against raising the debt limit in 2006. Hussein's buttboy Harkin just admitted he and Hussein are a CULT!

[hal ogen]

This harkin imbecile is a pathetic waste of skin. harkin is a liar and a duplicitous dupe. harkin, you fool...go back to Iowa where you can blend in well with various manure piles.

[American in Israel]

Wow, they really throw a fit when they can't steal more money. Get down right nasty even. Seems to me they are addicted to OPM (other peoples money) and have withdrawal pains.

[w1andsodidwe]

Please Iowa, I beg of you, throw this fool out of office.

[American in Israel]

How the heck do you pay a debt by getting more credit cards? This guy must be on crack.

[SaraJohnson]

I am certain he was referring to Obama and his little fascist Czars as the cult fringe that is wrecking everything. He mispoke when he blamed the Americans.

[Major Matt Mason]

More commie projection by Harkin. His party has run up the majority of the debt over the past several decades. The GOP can get some blame, of course, but gthe Democrats have been far more irresponsible with their spending. How come we aren't seeing quotes from anyone in the GOP (other than the "Gang of Six" idiots)?

[americanophile]

Can we declare war on this nasty SOB already?! He's been a piss and vinegar liberal for years; truly a nasty partisan. How is he still in office?!

[eaglestar]

Was Harkin wearing a crack pot on his head when he said this or was it a basket case?

[newzjunkey]

On Mark Levin's show, Jeff Sessions (R-AL) claims Reid plans to hold a vote on Cut, Cap & Balance on Saturday.

He thinks all Republicans will vote for it but not even 1 Democrat will vote for it.

Says "Gang of Six" is at best 1 to 1, cut to tax hike according to the handout he was given.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I love it! Gonna make a bumper sticker out of it!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Harkin is an old-line communist sympathizer, starting with his Con Son Island fraud, his Vietnam Vet status fraud, and his help for the marxist dictatorship in Nicaragua during the 1980’s.

If there is a “fringe” and “cult” around, it is the marxist one that he belongs to. His records tells the truth. His mouth tells lies and spouts disinformation.

As you said MissesBush, “Comrade Tom” is “obsessed”. I call it mentally ill. He needs a straightjacket ASAP.

[Mariner]

I don't know when Harkin runs next, but he'll either not run...or be soundly defeated.

He sounds like a retard person on drugs...out in front of WalMart.
