i absolutely agree- the proof is in the pudding but the fact is the pendulum is beginning to swing in our direction both from the side of the cowards at the top of the GOP and the rats....maybe Boehner/Cantor are looking at the Nov elections and realize elections do have consequences...
IDIOT ALERT....

Debt Ceiling: Should John Boehner And Eric Cantor Be Tried For Treason?
I am thoroughly disgusted with John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and the Republican leadership. I had assumed that even the “Tea Party fringe” element of the Republican base would not be enough to derail a debt ceiling deal from coming together over the weekend — aren’t Republicans the party of business and all that?
Apparently not.
I don’t know of a single American business owner or executive who thinks default — economic armageddon — should be on the table, and yet Republicans are acting as if Americans consider this a viable option.
Sadly, it’s already too late: although we still have time to get a deal before the August 2nd hard deadline, this is the equivalent of shoving a check under your landlord’s door at 11:59 p.m. You’ve lost his trust, even if you are technically not in default.
Enough disgusting dramatics to please your small Tea Party base — we are a nation of more than 300 million; the Tea Party is a handful of folks with racist signs, radical agenda, and the favor of a few influential bookers at Fox News.
This does not make them a majority by any stretch of the imagination.
I have been called out for criticizing the Tea Party: how can I question the motives of freedom-loving Americans who simply reject Keynesian economics in favor of the Austrian school? How can I marginalize them?
I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t want a few “nutters” deciding my nation’s fate. Sometimes I wonder if Tea Partiers actually want to see widespread economic destruction: a thoroughly disgraced dollar and lowering of America to “second-class” status would be a boon for their gold and silver portfolios — most Tea Partiers have listened to commentators like Glenn Beck and have turned their retirement portfolios into gluttonous gold bullion vaults.
