(That thread was pulled. All it says for reason is "bloggers")

The point in the quote, however, is solid. "Cut, Cap & Balance" offered $4T in cuts which is what the ratings agencies asked for. It passed the House under Boehner with a bipartisan vote.

The White House mocked it as "duck, dodge and dismantle" and Reid, Mr. Dead-on-Arrival, wouldn't even allow a debate in the Senate.

Once again the Democrats refuse to accept responsibility for anything. Bad economy? Bush's fault. Failed stimulus? Earthquakes & oil prices. Downgrade? Tea Party's fault.

We should be screaming at the top of our lungs because Obama wanted a CLEAN debt ceiling increase with no offsets period. He wasn't concerned for a nanosecond about the credit rating. Neither was Geithner.
