A republican vote to give Obama authority to increase the debt limit
IS a republican vote to raise the debt limit.

Maybe Obama’s base isn’t paying close attention, but the Republican base IS.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: McConnell has to go.

Is it too early to replace McConnell with Rand Paul?

The debt ceiling will only be raised with corresponding cuts...otherwise, skip it.

Won’t get a single Republican vote, eh?

Sounds like you were lamenting that fact, Mitch... thus your “Plan ‘B’” end-around.

Turd.

Call (502) 582-6304 and tell McConnell’s office that you think Plan B stinks.

I’m beginning to think that - like the president, McConnell is also a d*ck.

Make our day, McC...we don’t need you either, and when the riots come, woe be to any senator who actually gets a pay or pension.

So he was for it before he was against it, before he was for it again?

He’s been taking lessons from Myth........ Round and round he goes, where he stops, nobody knows.

Senator McConnell,
Your plan is frankly immature and off-point. It is centered around “who gets the blame” rather than STOPPING THE SPENDING. Please give your countrymen more credit for their meddle. We know that cutting back will bring some hardship and we are braced for it.
The first thing to do is to protect the military budget. The next thing to do is introduce social security reform such as means-testing. Then, keep the ceiling where it is and let the president decide what gets cut. If he tries to take away SS or food stamps, Republicans can wonder why he’s keeping the funding of opera and modern art via the NEA. These are rich man’s pursuits that should not be publically funded. By exposing his priorities, republicans can put a lot of pressure to cut the ridiculous examples of pork spending. The best strategy for republicans is to remember who their constituents are, and HOLD THE LINE!

These threads crack me up!
That said, it is embarrassing to see so many alleged freepers running around like three-year-olds screaming “RINO!”

And here I thought McConnell was supposed to be on our (conservatives) side. Silly me.

God save us from these idiots, traitors and cretins....

on ‘both’ sides of the aisle.

How about the backup plan where we make drastic cuts in spending to save the nation? What happened to that plan?

I wonder what other responsibilities that belong to the legislative branch would he like to pass off to the executive branch because they are too difficult for his branch to deal with.

RE : “I bet there won’t be a single Republican vote to raise the debt ceiling at the end of the day,” the Senate’s top Republican said in a radio interview Wednesday morning with conservative commentator Laura Ingraham. McConnell’s remarks come one day after the Kentucky Republican (sketched out a “back-up plan”) that would shift the political burden of raising the debt ceiling to President Obama and congressional Democrats, allowing for the borrowing limit to be raised without any Republican votes.
McConnell’s “Plan B” would first need to be approved by both chambers and signed into law by Obama in order to take effect – a prospect that was uncertain at best Tuesday evening, as some lawmakers of both parties balked at the idea.

FYI, your thoughts on the two plan approach: 'line in the sand' and 'complete capitulation' ?

My comments are the same as before: reference #21
