A compromise here means Americans lose for sure. Higher taxes, more debt and a longer jobs recovery.
Then if we default, it's clearly the Democrats fault. Thanks for clearing that up!
The Republicans have already refused to pass a clean debt limit increase bill, so it is wholly the GOP's fault if we default.
A compromise here means Americans lose for sure. Higher taxes, more debt and a longer jobs recovery.
See, some extremists here aren't ashamed to admit as much. Where are the rest of you song and dancers?
Why won't the rest of you admit you'd rather see the country default and suffer the consequences than make ANY compromise?
Pussies...

Ahh, the human animation appears.Last week, Obama walked out of a meeting. Where is your indignation over that temper tantrum?
Actually, he didn't. The meeting had already been adjourned. McConnell wouldn't shut up, so Obama left.
People like Trajan are proving MY point. The GOP stance is that there is no such thing as compromise, that there is no such thing as middle ground.
Their stance is that only 2 positions exist, total victory or total defeat.
They are irrational ignorant extremists.
for all intents and purposes there are only 2 sides, just becasue obama has to sign of on something doesn't mean he or the senate 'outnumber ' the other party for the purposes of a deal as if that alone should count for something.
back to reality- whats clear is if the house is supposedly the big issue? Thats what we have been told.... why then did Obama bfreak the deal?
Oh, becasue he heard the senate got more? Well, he backed out by adding more demands to boehner.....and what happened?
The president can veto a bill that passes the House AND Senate. The Senate can reject a bill that passes the House.
All the House can do is block a bill that the Senate and/or the President wants.
I guess when you guys were zealously defending 41% of the Senate blocking everything in sight,
you had a very very very different attitude. Wonder why that is?
How fucking dumb are you? USArmyRetired said something about race,can't you read?
I went back 12 pages or so and all I found was this:
This is a logical partial solution, though I wish he hadn't used the word "minorities"."The entitlements that need to be cut is welfare and SSI checks for minorities"
You see fit to expand that to the US Armed Forces after 10 or 12 pages? The race card is your play, boy.
I really don't much give a shit what color a porch monkey is. We need to get people off the porch and off to work. Raising taxes so we can pay them to sit on their asses isn't the way to create jobs.
Who are the minorities in this country? You complain about the race card but you call black men "boy". You looked 12 pages for something right in front of you? you are one dumb fuck.
Newsflash. The Office of POTUS is the EXECUTIVE BRANCH.Yours is a typical response from someone who just got schooled.Nothing you said refutes what I said.
Try again.
The Republicans don't control either the Senate or the Presidency. No bill is going to pass without the Senate and the President behind it, therefore,
the Republicans are in the minority. They control one leg of the stool. The Democrats control two.
That has not been refuted.
Ignorance is not a virtue.Why should anything more than 50% of the concessions be by the Democrats?
Because for the past 2+ years they have rammed through enormous spending increases against the will of the American people.
Sheer idiocy, dishonest, and irrelevant. As well as being a non-sequitur.
As everyone can see, there is NO case any conservative here can make to defend the GOP's no-compromise stand.
Why can't SS checks be funded with the TRUST FUND in the LOCK BOX?
Why can't SS checks be funded with the TRUST FUND in the LOCK BOX?
It's empty.
Mitch McConnell is pissing in his pants right now.
The bat shit crazy Tea Party is about to wreck the Republicans chances in the 2012 election.
Why can't SS checks be funded with the TRUST FUND in the LOCK BOX?
It's empty.
No it's not.
And by the way Reagan and Bush's deficit spending was a tax increase.
