Dems to screw over economy to score points against GOP?

Not that I believe that raising the debt ceiling is needed to prevent an economic catastrophe. I just found it a little interesting how some Democrats embrace a policy which they themselves have been preaching would torpedo the economy, all in the name of politics.

Call their bluff.

I hope we default.
There is no rational reason for the USA to enjoy a AAA rating. There is no reason for the US$ to still be the world's reserve currency in this day and age.

Wow. What a revelation. The Democrats don't have the party discipline to get everyone to vote the same.

I predict that a majority of Democrats will vote for extending the debt ceiling. They just won't let it be 100% of the Democrats and 15% of the Republicans.

....and fry the economy (and our nation's ability to borrow money) in the process. Smart, really really smart.

one more thought....it would be the republicans that screw the economy it if they don't raise the debt ceiling. After all, financial bills MUST be initiated by the House. It's the Constitution, the one they read last week. Remember?

Actual governing is very different than whining.

Bite what!?

Larry has asked you to tell him when you were going to grow a set of balls!

Haven't seen a reply to that one yet!
