The vote on the bill did not happen. The vote was to table CCB.

Demint can still force the vote.

“Default? Not like you to use the enemy’s propaganda words.”

We will default if Obama thinks it will help him personally, politically, it will happen.

“Also you completely ignored my post. The senate would pass CCB if they believed it was their only choice.”

I disagree. I believe that Hairy Reid would not allow a vote in order to facilitate the possibility of default, in order to give his President dictatorial powers over the 200 Billion that comes in taxes monthly.

” Wall Street bankers have ally themselves with the Dems on this issue and have used all their lobbyists and agents in MSM to pressure GOP. Why? Simple, Wall Street bankers have made tons of money helping the feds borrow and sell bonds to investors to keep this ponzi scheme going. Our country is already finished and Wall Street wants to delay the collapse so they can get their families out of the country and loot what is left. Since Main Street is destined to die in an economic collapse, then let us dragg Wall Street with us to the death. Otherwise as we die in the future, bankers will be sipping drinks and laughing at us after they have robbed us. Furthermore, crash the economy you crash Obama in 2012. Vote NO and default!!! “

Repeated so all can read this.

Deadly accurate, and by the way, I was an investment banker for years.

” Hey John, another “debt commission” made up of six RINOs and six Rats is NOT a path to victory for the American people. “

The contempt these RINOS have for our intelligence is staggering.

we go into default and Obama gets to choose how to spend 200 billion per month. Sound good to you?

First of all, we don't "go into default" unless we fail to service the debt -- there's more than enough monthly revenue to do that.

Other than that, sure. Why not? Better to let Obama act like the petty dictator he wants to be and actually have to do something like set a prioritized budget than to pass a "blank check" debt ceiling agreement that will let him spend even more without having to make a single hard choice.

There is no chance of default. Do you mean would we be better off not raising the debt limit at all? If so then the answer is yes.

That bears repeating loudly. Both the Republicans and the Democrats leaders are on the record stating that default isn't going to happen. That being the case ... OUR TEA PARTY FRESHMAN NEED TO STAND GROUND FOR WE THE PEOPLE. Yes, the liberals and RINO's will be angry, pound their chests, threaten you, accuse you of being an enemy to the state. WHATEVER. Who cares. This is a unique opportunity, a once in a lifetime cross roads, where a few good people are in a position to accomplish something INCREDIBLE. It's just slings an arrows, Tea Partiers ... stay the course at all cost.

Ok I understand your theory on that now. I don’t think that’s the way it would go though.

What I posted;

“I agree. You are right. If the Senate will not pass them, they mean jack squat, we go into default and Obama gets to choose how to spend 200 billion per month. Sound good to you?”

What you cut/pasted and responded to;

“we go into default and Obama gets to choose how to spend 200 billion per month. Sound good to you?”

Your response;

First of all, we don’t “go into default” unless we fail to service the debt — there’s more than enough monthly revenue to do that.

Other than that, sure. Why not? Better to let Obama act like the petty dictator he wants to be and actually have to do something like set a prioritized budget than to pass a “blank check” debt ceiling agreement that will let him spend even more without having to make a single hard choice.


Honesty and integrity, they’re not just for breakfast anymore.

>>So, what was Paul’s thorn in his flesh?<<

He didn’t specify. And I believe that was intentional.
