Basically, what the Republicans are demanding is that the Democrats implement Romney's 2012 economic plan. If they refuse, the GOP will tank the U.S. economy, which will have devastating effects globally as well. What part of "Romney, and his plan, lost in 2012" do they not get?
Once again, Conservatives think they should have everything they want simply because they want it, regardless of what the rest of the country wants. And they will destroy the country if they are refused. At what point do we finally admit that these so-called "patriots" are actually domestic terrorists attempting to take down the U.S. government? Because they are not even pretending otherwise any more.
The today's GOP operates politically like a two year old.
The question is, will we be able to stop the arsonists before they torch the country?
Eh, I don't buy it. Problem is, actions in congress are completely disconnected from any accountability. They've gerrymandered the entire country into oblivion. The GOP has been at this game for a few years now and they did not pay any price in 2012 (at least in the House).

This. If you are hoping for some sort of implosion, then you will be disappointed.
Obama needs, for once in his Presidency of consensus seeking and capitulation, to STAND HIS GROUND. Follow through on what you say, Obama. No deals on the debt ceiling! If the right wants to fight, then grow or find a pair and invoke the 14th Amendment.
Ah, ok, I see how it works. The GOP version of "growing a pair" is a government shutdown. But Obama's version of "growing a pair" on "no deals on the debt ceiling" is to circumvent the legislative process instead of holding his ground on "no deals."

What a brave man you make him out to be!!!
This business of holding the US and world economies hostage to exact some political victory needs to stop. Ideally, the whole debt ceiling law should be repealed as there really is no option NOT to raise the debt limit. Stopping the recurrent and ever more outlandish ransom demands over the debt ceiling would help all future presidents, not just Obama.
oh, and stop the head smacking. It compromises your ability to think rationally.
Remember when Republicans made a big deal about Obamacare cutting "$700 billion" from Medicare and they vowed to restore those spending cuts? Why isn't the GOP demanding that the $700 billion in cuts be restored as a demand for the raising of the debt ceiling?
Because Medicare was never actually cut. The "savings" from the proposed cuts were orignially used in calculations in the cost of Obamacare, showing them as offsets to the additional costs of Obamacare. Since these "savings" were never realized, the ACA actually costs us $700 billion more than the liar-in-chief claimed when it was passed.
Pretty typical though. Pass a law that requires upwards of $1 trillion a year in new spending, with no funding plan. Then blame the other guys when the bill for your unfunded plan becomes due...and acuse the other side of "defunding" something that was never funded in the first place.
