Just throw Boehner in Guantanamo for being an 'enemy combatant'. Let some other boneheads join him.

But what none of these critics have is an alternative strategy for achieving anything nearly as fiscally or politically beneficial as Mr. Boehner's plan. The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue, and the public will turn en masse against . . . Barack Obama. The Republican House that failed to raise the debt ceiling would somehow escape all blame. Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced-budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea-party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor.

Boehner is trying to beat the Hobbits, and you know how that is going to end :elaugh:

I think if the Republicans don't get their shit together before the deadline, Obama will 100% surely be reelected. At this point even leading Republicans are telling other Republicans to get their ass in line...

Not so fast...(consider your article sources)
Obama will be re elected if the country is in good shape and getting better. It is a toss up at best if the economy is bad along with other policies...no matter who is to blame.
Again I ask...just putting aside the fact that I believe GOPers want to drag this process out despite the harm it causes if for no other reason it keeps Obama from being out on the campaign trail raising record amounts of money... Not many people see or understand that component. GOPers have been fast at work effecting ever political trick in the book down to the detail to make sure Obama is a one term president. From changing voting standards on up to I believe jiggering with this debt ceiling crisis.
This isn't by any means out of the blue...They knew this was coming up because they know the budget projections. I truly believe this was calculated to the last detail by GOPers.
As it stands, it will already cost us an uncountable amount of debt just in the fact that our credit rating is bound to take a hit as has been warned. Do the fuckers care about that?? Fuck no...it's worth it so that Obama is defeated.
Now do some of you lily livers who try to straddle to middle just for middle's sake believe me when I say GOPers are just worse???
Meh, screw my article sources. The only reason I posted the articles was to show that the Republican leadership is starting to shit on the Republicans. I can find the same quotes on left or right sources.
I still think that this whole issue looks just as bad on the Republicans as it does on the Democrats. Everyone looks like ragincaucasin's retarded step-brother - ineffective and useless.
Okay...whomever says whatever...left or right. GOPers don't stand a chance no matter what they do if the economy is humming going into '12 elections.
Think about that for a second...
Therefore, in who's interests is it that there be chaos, disruption and economic failure?
What are their candidates going to stand up and say, 'the economy is great...let's kick Obama out'?
I just watched 90 minutes of "debate" in the House of Representatives on CSPAN, and after having actually watched it I'm pretty sure there will be no deal coming.
For one thing, it's quite stunning to watch Republican after Republican champion Dubya's administration as if that was actually a great time for America's prosperity. They appear to be willing to ignore the consequence (Wall St Crash) of that wonderful bubble bullshit economy. "Times were great under Dubya! Unemployment was down! Tax cuts for all! Yay!"
I don't know what a GOPer could be on to champion GWB's error...errr era nor what even more under the influence a Demo could be on to stand and listen to it.
Again, the guy rang up debt like it was free nachos at a Tex-Mex restaurant, ran a 3 pct u/e rate to the mid 7s then helo'ed out of DC as the country and Washington was going up in flames ala the Independence Day movie.
You had Pelosi who pledged no more pork..but then added 5 trillion dollars to the debt.I don't know what a GOPer could be on to champion GWB's error...errr era nor what even more under the influence a Demo could be on to stand and listen to it.
