Pure, unadulterated bullshit!
and, it sounds like they’ve given up on defunding Obamacare.
Who’s suprised? We know they’ll cave, it’s just a matter of when.
“President Barack Obama has indicated he would sign a short-term measure provided it did not have partisan concessions added on.”
The arrogant president can sign or not sign whatever comes across his desk. All the house needs to do is work with the Senate and if they don’t want to work, let the house of cards fall.
The media wants everyone to believe that not raising the U.S. debt limit will result in default and world economic collapse.
come one people this is just more scare tactics to get the Republicans to cave. Don’t give in Republicans . don’t believe the media .
the media cried wolf with global warming, sequester, gov shutdown,fiscal cliff bs, etc. etc. that are all imaginary hobgoblins
don’t believe the media who are practically all registered democrats
don’t raise the debt limit. keep the useless government shut down.
What I find interesting about this is that Bohner + CO were originally saying that the debt limit was the issue to use against Obama, not the CR.
And opinion polls had supported this back then too,
And now pressure is mounting by GOP $$$$ groups for House to pass a clean (but short) debt limit increase.
stock market, bond rates, all scaring them.
DEFUND OBAMACARE!!!!
That's what all this is about.
I'm not interested in the Washington Clatterbones using the shutdown as a tool for negotiation.
KEEP IT SHUT UNTIL OBAMACARE IS DEADER THAN A DOORNAIL.
Yes. Get us right up against the holidays so the sheeple will be distracted. Boehner and the lot of our leaders are just complete ASSES!
Sounds to me like Obama has privately threatened to pull this Article IV crap and raise it himself. They are trying to head him off and stop the precedent until they can come up with a better strategy.
If I am not mistaken, I believe Mike Lee is in favor in keeping the focus on defunding ObummerCare through spending bills and deal with the debt limit increase later. The concern has been that squishes in the House would try to tie the CR negotiations with the debt limit increase and create a “grand bargain” where the Dhimms would give up a pittance and the Dhimms would get the Republicans to back off of any ObummerCare defunding effort and, in addition, increase the debt limit.
If so, it is probably best to punt the debt limit negotiation for 3 months, to keep the eye on the ObummerCare defunding effort, particulary in light of the continuing stories of the exchange website failures and premiums skyrocketing. I think the Dhimms would like to do anything to get ObummerCare off the radar, which means the Republicans should not let go of it.
If the debt limit increase is small enough to make the Anointed One come back begging for money again in 2 or 3 months, more pain can be applied to him at that point.
And that does us absolutely no good whatsoever!! I suspected the RINOs would fold on the debt limit.
Hold the line, Mr. Speaker!! Obama’s getting desperate!! We can do this!!
How much DEBT should we shackle around our children’s necks to pay for our WANTS Today?? is 17 Trillion enough??
How much VALUE should the FED STEAL from every Dollar annually to keep the Money Changers Happy?? is 5% enough??
These are MORAL QUESTIONS not Political.
Not right before CHRISTMAS, you fools!!! That was the mistake Gingrich did!!!!
If they want to extend it extend it till January 2nd and make Congress come back December 27th to work on it.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gop is falling for the obama argument that not raising debt ceiling equal default
The Republicans aren't giving up much, if anything.
May be a good idea.....
“it did not have partisan concessions added on.”
Not having “partisan concessions” is in itself a concession to the democrats. NO DEAL unless Conservatives receive concessions from democrats.
Rino’s never run out of stupid...just let the dems fold, they are feeling it, they’re on the ropes, ready to hit the floor and you prop them up.
STUPID
All the humiliation of surrender with none of the advantages of actually cleaning up the immediate mess. Brilliant!
