They are not wimping out. Please read the article. The short term raise in the debt ceiling would only happen if there are spending cuts. I am so sick of people passing judgement based on a headline.
FoxNews put the Big Lie right in the very first sentence. The truth is that the country WILL NOT DEFAULT if the debt ceiling is reached. It is a Win-Win for Conservatives. By not raising the debt ceiling, we will automatically get $1.6 trillion in spending cuts, and interest rates will no longer be tied to federal borrowing. Unfortunately, John Boehner is not a Conservative.
This is exactly how they caved on the 2011 Continuing Resolution, passing extensions until they lull everyone into complacency.
Man up!
Grow some balls!
Git 'er done!!
You cowards have almost two months to get this done. Don't tell me it can't be done. Lay it on the line. Make your proposal. Force the RATS to respond.
I wonder how many Pubbies have a Weiner problem...?
Here’s a suggestion for the 0bama regime: instead of giving money to Greece for their socialists, let’s keep it and pay OUR bills!
Ok... and when the dems again stonewall.. the geldings will hand them yet another “temporary extension.”
Boehner: “We have a deal.”
How about all of them are fired and take their huge staff with them.
Idiots... everything is always “temporary.” 0bama will just get the GOP to raise the debt ceiling $1 at a time if must.
Today's note to republicanans... The German credit rating agency Feri and conscious, fiscally responsible, voting Americans are closely watching what you do.

“a temporary extension of the cap”
Here we go again. I suppose because Bonehead thought it worked so well last time.
Next congress, Bonehead and Mitchie McConnell have to be replaced by vertebrates.
The sad part is that if they did nothing and we hit the debt cap, we’d have a month or two or three where we would have revenue to cover debt, interest and a lot of spending and would simply have to cut spending. It could be done. A bunch of Obama public works projects would grind to a halt but who cares? Parks would get shut down but who cares? If Americans can’t live without going to a national park for a couple months, we really are doomed.
Or they are trying to spin this out so it bumps up against November 2012. Again they seem to be taking more Dick Morris advice that is too cute by half.
The GOP is not wimping out. The GOP is just doing what they always do which is to lull so-called conservatives to sleep with platitudes, slogans, and empty promises while they work behind the scenes with their Democrat pals to implement the Globalist Agenda. They WANT to run the country into the ground.
(They’re wimping out alert)
It was never a question of if but when.
Trump is preaching what the independent voters want to hear- not only that the GOP is a sell out but Trump has the nads to say it outright.So Palinbots will write in Palin.Independents will vote for anybody but Obama or Palin (SEE TRUMP), a few will vote for Perry or Romney and Obama wins re election.
Unelect any traitor that signs up for this crap.
They haven’t figured out yet that this White House will NEVER compromise with them?
Let the system crash - it’s going to happen sooner or later anyway.
