Will the "default" weapon be used/threatened ... - 10/20/2013 8:04:58 AM

My humble opinion is no...

In three months when we`re back to "negotiations"...after all the harm that the geopee caused in jobs lost, money wasted and Americans suffering, I don`t think they`ll have the guts.

Yes there are a few loony-tunes suggesting we should default on principle and how awesome it would be....but they`re from butt-fuckville and don`t matter anymore....

Not saying we won`t hear them saying crazy shit or embarrassing themselves.....they just won`t be in a position to drag us all into the gutter with them...

But for a short while there.....the tea-baggers did have their mitts on the levers of power and now we know how bad an idea that was....

I'm afraid you're a bit optimistic there, Owner. These people are not motivated by anything we would consider 'sanity' - and their next debt ceiling debacle will come too soon after this debacle to be absorbed by the TPs. After they lose their shorts in the midterms - maybe. But for now, any common sense which flies over their heads will be overruled by their rage and frustration. January is going to be difficult at best. One good thing though: it will reduce the gap between their antics and the next election, so the event won't fade so badly in the electorate's minds.

Why blame Sanity, he hasnt posted for ages.......

My opinion is that the centre leaning Republicans would be desperate stop it happening again. Republicans could end up with so much infighting they make themselves unelectable. BOTH major parties in the UK have done this during the last 40 years.

They can't even threaten it, knowing that Obama will call their bluff, and at the end of the day since they're just a bunch of nuts, it IS just a bluff and Pelosi's holding Boehner's leash ensures that the Democrats and sane Republicans aren't going to indulge the wackos anymore.

They had their chance, and no-one but Fox gives a damn about what they have to say.

I think they'd use it again, those who don't learn from their mistakes are less than bright, have you seen anything to indicate that Cruz and company have learned anything?

Of course they will. Their goal is not to win the Presidency in 2016, but to take over the GOP. To do that will require frequent battles, followed by claiming that the moderates aren't True Republicans and that they lack the will to fight. Whipping up their base into a frenzy will result in donors having to choose one camp over the other. Which cam they choose will determine which camp will survive.

Their arrogance pales in comparison to Obama's "They can come along for the ride but they have to sit in the back" and "I will not negotiate.", Reid's "NO" and Pelosi's "We won." The arrogant gall of Obama, having repeatedly proclaimed "I will not negotiate" before and during the recent shut-down, to now proclaim "It's time to negotiate". Really? They should tell Obama and his subjects "NUTS".

Hardly.

I just made the point that they should now become just as arrogant as Obama, Reid and Pelosi have been since January 20, 2009.

He did? Does this mean when you said "they" you really meant Racer? Or just republicans in general?

I wasn't aware that he represented all republicans. Does this mean I can start judging everyone on the left by 59's posts?

Do I? This is the second time in about a week that you have claimed it, but I have yet to see you show any links where I attack everyone on the left. Why do you insist on lying about me?

Refusing to negotiate with terrorists is not arrogance...

It`s heroic and commendable...

Thanks again tho, for the pointing out how pathetic and childlike your party is...

Just heard btw they the cult leaders have "promised" to never default in the future....

So hopefully that answers my OP..... It`s no.

Im not lying, I said you seem to, Im not spending the time to link all your posts where you attack a lefty poster and hijack the thread....
I posted a response to Jims response to me, you jumped in....asking silly questions....

If you dont get that I am not claiming all republican are arrogants, then Im sorry for your lack of understanding
Arrogant republicans means republicans who are arrogant, not that all republicans are arrogant
the same way I said, not all republicans are morons, just those who are..republican morons
now would you like to give something to the topic as it stands or are you just going to whinge more?
Do you think that the default will be used again.

Do you think that the default will be used again.

You said I seem to be judging everyone on the left by one poster. If that were true you would be able to easily find a post where I did that. Instead you switched it to I spend all my time attacking the left poster and hijacking the thread. I have to wonder where the next switch will lead us.

As to the topic of the thread, from the OP it seems that 59 is still pissed at the right and predicting how they will act in the future. There are no links and no real issue to discuss. just his opinion on how awful the other side is. What exactly is there to derail?

Pointing out the maleficence and treachery of your party isn`t anger......it`s just reading the news.....

The only reason it seems constant is for the fact that your party is constantly attacking , degrading and undermining our country....
