If we don't raise the debt ceiling, we can't pay our bills.
Really? Well, tell the Dems to get serious about cutting the deficits.

From CNN:
Tea party to GOP: We could make 'examples' of you over debt ceiling - CNN.com
That some elements of the Tea Party seek no debt ceiling hike whatsoever and are pressing Republicans toward that end represents another possible barrier to a deal to hike the debt ceiling.
The Tea Party is the worst thing that has ever happened to the Republican Party.
"You cannot play games with something this serious," Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, said at a congressional hearing.
"Other countries that have tried to play these kinds of games with the financial market usually end up getting burned.
"Bachmann holds firm" - wonder who's doing her PR?
Sure, I think I've read at least half a dozen pieces written by economists advocating a freeze. They're a minority, but they certainly exist.Sorry, but collectively, its policies are idiotic. Can anyone produce an economist that will tell you that it will be ok to not raise the debt limit?
One of the funny, yet sad thing is that the Republicans can't agree with Obama on anything without it being political suicide. Obama's plan has the biggest cuts in spending out of all the plans,
One of the funny, yet sad thing is that the Republicans can't agree with Obama on anything without it being political suicide. Obama's plan has the biggest cuts in spending out of all the plans, and is a rather conservative plan, and the republicans won't vote it because "the other side" is bringing it to the table.
that is nonsense.

They are clueless? The Dems are clueless if they think the GOP should again accept the lies and dishonesty over the budget that they have perpetrated on Republicans by the Democrats. Personally, I am not sure that I want this tyrannical government anymore. We have to have change and the change needs to be a reversal of much of the past 78 years of the nanny state. If the Democrats want to block that change, then we might need to shut down the government. Hopefully, he will gain some type of common sense before the actual day of reckoning.

So, apparently you want massive deregulation of everything, weak unions, racism, and sexism to come back to America???
Interesting....
Edit: Bolded portion of quote
While Obama certainly hasn't helped the deficit spending, the truth is it's been going on for a LONG time. Most of the long-term obligations that we need to pay are much older than 3 years old. Many date back to HW Bush, and I wouldn't be surprised if some dated back to Reagan or even Carter.
The time has come to pay the piper, yes. But putting all the blame on Obama is just right wing spin.

How could they get as far as they got, and remain SO freakin clueless?

what exactly are you suggesting?
a violent revolution to bring down the popularly elected government of the United States?
reversing the Civil Rights Act? The Voting Rights Act? Brown Vs. Topeka?
I am against the nanny state. I am against Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, much of EPA, OSHA, Dept of Education, etc., etc., etc. I am against the tyrants of Washington telling me what size car I should buy. I am against the tryrants of Washington telling me what lightbulbs I must buy. I am against the tyrants of Washington lying to me Americans that they won't have to change their current health insurance coverage and then set it up so that companies will stop offering insurance. I am against the tryants of Washington who say that company A, State A, or union A can be exempted from the new healthcare regs when others cannot. I am against the tyrants of Washington who spend money like it was milk and then want to tax us more because of their irresponsibility. I am against the tyrants of Washington who.....
