(24,411 posts)I don't know what in the hell these motherf'ers thought they were doing. I don't know if they were following Koch orders or commands from some central-elite Republican mother ship, but these jerks have really painted themselves into a corner.
And each day it gets worse for them.
They aren't making sense. They are flirting with destroying our economy--as they behave like The Three Stooges. I can't even take this seriously any more.
Their polls are tanking. The damage seems irreversible. The Democrats have absolutely no incentive to cooperate with these fools, because they created a huge mess that only makes the Democrats and the President look like the only grown ups in DC. So, they have absolutely no leverage. They've placed a ticking time bomb in their own house and they're asking Obama to come in and cut the blue wire for them.
Congressional approval ratings are lower than when Gingrich left office in shame, and hid out for years before he could ever show his face in public again. I mean really..this is the gift that keeps on giving.
And yes, it's horrible to have the debt ceiling looming. This is quite serious. However, I don't see the Republican really going through with failing to raise it. They are so far under right now and everyone sees the truth (except for the delusional tea party crazies) and they blame the Republicans. There won't be a Republican party left if they don't raise the debt ceiling.
The comedy and joy will come as the Republicans capitulate and have to cave on all of the demands and drama-mongering that they've engaged in this week.
