ORIGINAL: Owner59 A question for the GOP debate. I would like to ask all the candidates on stage to answer this question. If you knew that America would lose it`s AAA credit rating before threatening to default, in order to force your agenda through,would you still think it was a good idea? First you Mr Pawlenty....opps sorry,he just quit. Now you Mr Cain?......... Why are you asking? I told you months ago the answer would be yes. Now let me ask you a question O. If you run up against someone who refuses to cross an ethical line, why do you continue to try and get them to? And maybe a better question - do you do so for politics or for a real belief in what you're doing? Let's take finances for example. Assume you earn 75 dollars. You go home to mom and say, mom, my bills are 114 dollars. Will you lend me another $14? Mom says, but I lent you $25 when you said your bills were $100! You say, but, but mommmm. I need it. She says, the spending track you're on is not something I can sustain. Tell you what, I'll give you the extra $14 if you bring back a plan to get things under control. You scream, fucking bitch!!!! Why do I have to do that? Why don't you just give me the damned money? She says, take it or leave it son. You fume, go tell all your friends what an asshole she is, play childish games to try and get her to give you the $14 anyway, tell her well fuck it, if I have to do that, I'm just going to default on them and it'll come back on YOU. She shrugs and goes back to doing the laundry. The head to head goes down to the last minute of the last day, where you finally come crawling in and say ok, fine. I'll get some of my buddies to sit down and work out a plan because I'm not capable. She thinks about it, says ok, gives you the $14. You wipe the sweat from your brow, run out and start telling the world what a fucking idiot she was to take you down to the last minute. THE BITCH caused me to get my credit score lowered. What FUCKING whore. So, next time you run into Mom and say, mom, I need $10 bucks, and she says, here's what I want if i'm going to let you have more money.. are you going to play your stupid games, or try to work a real deal with her? That's about the gist of all the maneuvering prior to the debt ceiling increase. The only question in my mind is, did the dickheads who thought it would be politics as usual learn anything?
