In the past day or so I have given some real thought to what McConnell did and I really think he put Obama in a totally untenable position that he may not be able to find a way to escape from. Here is one of the people who have helped me see just how he took Obama and the Dems.

So it's all politics and McConnell doesn't want to reduce the deficit?

Apparently fellow Conservatives don't think so.

Congressional conservatives skeptical of McConnell's fallback debt-limit plan

Quote:
Conservatives in the House and Senate voiced opposition Wednesday to the fallback plan to raise the debt limit, proffered by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), raising questions over whether it is a viable alternative.

Criticism came from Tea Party favorites in both chambers, including Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a frequent antagonist of McConnell’s, and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a presidential candidate thought to be a favorite in the Iowa GOP caucuses.

DeMint said the McConnell plan would allow Republicans to shirk responsibility for raising the debt limit by placing almost full authority for the decision in the president's hands. Voting for the plan therefore would be tantamount to voting for raising the debt limit, without literally doing it.

“This idea that Republicans will not vote to increase the debt limit [by approving the McConnell plan] is wrong,” DeMint said.

You go ahead attacking the messenger so you don't have to know the message and maybe some lefty will sympathize with you. I try, I really try but I just can't make it.

No really. I can read about anything. I mean I can even watch Beck. He makes me laugh, but I just can't watch that dude with the long hair and the dress. It would not be so bad if he did not have such a big Adam's apple.
