It is good that progressives have taken the high ground on this issue and disowned Al Sharpton.

When in doubt scream:
Touched a nerve, I see. The core of the tea party is a racist reaction to the fact that a black president won the election. The tea party types just can't accept that, and they've been dogwhistling and talking code ever since.
Yeah, Right because Bush got stuff like this
Don't try that lame innocent act on me.
It was only a matter of time. A few more weeks of this debt ceiling blackmail nonsense and we'll be the joke of the business community.

I'm sure though that the usual suspects will just blame it all on the Black guy with the funny name.

It gets confusing. Congress passed the Budget for 2013, but it's now expired. The shutdown is over the battle for the new budget. The debt ceiling issue involves money due from last year's spending.
So, I agree with the fight which caused the shutdown (although shutting the gvt down is not what I consider wise). It's a budget fight--that is the fight we should be having.
I disagree with the fight over the debt ceiling because those debt need to be paid on time--that is a fight we should not be having.

The article comes a lot closer to what will happen than your guess.
The T's are charged with the job of destroying our standing in the world, crashing our economy and devaluing our currency. Their benefactors are placing huge bets against the dollar as we speak. They will clean up at our expense, so hold on to your seats.
Dems have not passed a budget since? Have you been paying attention lately?Yep...but, we've seen that the Senate effectively needs 60 votes to move anything through. You've been paying attention lately. Right?

You need 60 votes to end debate. Simple Majority passes a law. If the Senate would just bring bills to the floor we would have more action. However, just like the house, they refuse.
Not exactly. The House has passed lots of bills. Theyve taken dozens of votes on passage. Wheras the Senate has taken one since July, one to amend the Helium act.
So you own every democrat and their bitter angry hate filled racist positions too.Na. It's like the violent Muslim thing. Once you allow that sort of thing to have a voice in your party or religion, when the bombers and the racists are given a voice on your platform, you've gotta wear the shirt too. No one in your circle has disowned these people. In fact, they've pandered to them.

Don't for a second believe that the Tea Party movement members in the House can either be blamed or claim credit for any dust-up over the debt ceiling. The Republican majority there is pretty narrow, and the Democrats want to raise it -- which means all that is needed is a handful of Republicans to see the light.
If the debt ceiling isn't raised, it's because the entire Republican caucus is to blame.
Or credit.
The Tea Party is not "charged" with anything. They are the only responsible people in the room. Regardless of what you think spending has been out of control for way too long. Now a group comes along who decides it's time to put an end to this silliness and the instant gratification me first crowd just wants the borrowed money to keep coming. Can you increase your own credit limit? Is it wise to keep spending more than you make?
We keep hearing how Democrats are for the little guy, yet they keep handing out favors to buy their votes to people who don't care where it comes from. They aren't helping, they are enabling. It's time to cut up the credit cards and stop buying votes. Before elections we hear about how unfair it is that big business has the money to buy politicians, what do you think is happening when the government is buying you? Big business is corrupt, what does that make government? Oh but wait, it's different when the money is going the other way...
I weep for America
The T's behavior is COSTING us Billions sothinking they want to reduce spending is comical. The are nothing but insurgents trying to subvert our Constitution and harm our economy. They will be voted out of power in 2014 so we only have another year of this harmful nonsense.
