The ACA was passed 3 years ago. Not only was Obama re-elected, he absolutely demolished Romney at the polls. Americans have spoken, they re-elected Obama even after ACA was passed. What's the hold up then? Why should a small tea party minority be allowed to destroy the country?
Why should the country be paralyzed every single time the debt limit needs to be raised? It just creates a never ending cycle of gridlock and political bargaining every year. Don't be surprised then when investors no long invest in the USA because politics have become too unstable.
Maybe our government should learn how to manage money and spend within their means??
Ecomonic terrorists? Did you get that term listening to Democratic politicians on MCNBC or did you get that term from the talking points you received via email from your favored politicians' favored intern? It's the insult of the week and displays a lack of creativity on your part to use it. Come up with your OWN insult.
According to democrats if you oppose Obamacare you're a terrorist but if you shoot up a military base and kill thirteen innocent people you're guilty of "workplace violence."
And we're supposed to take people like this seriously.

We do not need the debt limit raised we need to cut back if anything. At some point you cant keep on spending money we do not have. We could just print more money and then it will cost us in the end.

What exactly are they doing to "sabotage" the economy??
They already said they will approve raising the debt ceiling. They just don't want to approve funding for the ACA ON TOP of raising the debt ceiling.
The Democrats want ALL OR NOTHING(shutdown). Working together right!
You guys just don't care that the ACA is bad. You simply support it because Obama signed it into law and nothing else. You guys simply cannot grasp the fact that it is unsustainable.
Like Obama did with Sequestration?
Show me 1 Republican that supports shutdown??
Obamacare is not just what jdemocrats want. Obamacare is what the American people want. Republicans need to GET THAT THROUGH THEIR HEADS!
You think the ACA is bad. I think it is a vital piece of legislation that America has needed for a very very long time. I support it because it will bring help to so many Americans that desperately need it when they are sick. Obama has little to do with my support of the law (though I do support him for getting it passed).
Every single Republican in congress right now who does not support funding Obamacare is wanting the government to shut down. Total immature babies.

The debt limit was raised 7 times under Bush and 18 under Reagan. It has been raised 2 times under Obama. A country is not like one's own personal finances. There are much more sane and rational ways to tackle debt problems other than causing the government to go into default.

"The full consequences of a default -- or even the serious prospect of default -- by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of the United States would have substantial effects on the domestic financial markets and the value of the dollar."
Thats what medicaide was supposed to do and that half baked POS legislation failed. What are you going to do about the 25 million who are supposed to slip through the obamacare cracks pass somemore unread legislation. When do you liberals realize that passing all this legislation never helps and always makes things worse
