Dingy Reid Has A New Demand: Democrats Want Debt Ceiling Hike To March 2013…
Because those votes in 2012 aren’t going to come cheap.
(Reuters) — Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said on Friday his budget legislation would increase the nation’s borrowing authority until March, 2013 and reiterated that he would not accept a short-term debt limit increase as Republicans are insisting.
Earlier in the day, Reid called on Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to sit down with him to work out a compromise for cutting federal spending and raising the debt limit by the August 2 deadline.
McConnell has thus far thrown his support behind a House of Representatives Republican bill that has been refined and could be voted upon later in the day. Reid has vowed to defeat that bill, which would extend the debt limit for only a few months.

Lower the debt ceiling.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Will we even make it to Jan 20 2013?
Of course Reid has a new demand-he saw the others were willing to work like dogs for nothing and limp up with puppy dog eyes and a pathetic compromise so now they will keep pushing the envelope until everyone caves (using blatant fear tactics) and the American people lose. Thanks again for nothing – cavers.
Boner played this so badly or then again maybe he just can’t wait to get back to golfing and his ciggs. (or is that Obama?-Bone doesnt get a birthday party tho-but still)
I swear once BO hits martha’s vineyard people will take to the streets-I will, why the fuck not. Flash bill paying mobs-sounds good.
You said it in one sentence Mary from Marin.
It’s a sad day-talk about jerking people’s chains-I seriously have had it, aren’t you all tired of being disappointed?
The only thing I am hoping for now is Borat missing his birthday party, he wont even get to miss that-how can he stomach being adored when he knows he is so despised?
Oh I forgot he doesnt give a shit

Yes he did MaryfromMarin
Wasn’t that sound clip in the wall?
The only reason it sounds familiar to me
If you can suggest another tactic instead of getting disappointed I am all ears
Typing too fast. I am disappointed, but not tired. On the contrary.
Good MaryfromM for being contrary, that gives me hope
Not too many posts, maybe it’s too late-or maybe ppl are busy ?
bbl – I promise
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
–Barack Obama (Congressional Record, p. S2237 [March 2006])
How many people know that our country’s future is not as important to Harry as getting the next debt ceiling hike past the 2012 election.
He had to steal his last election…who would vote for this guy.
If the republicans cave to allow the debt ceiling hike into 2013, vote ‘m all out.
.
I may have to back Bachmann-she seems to be straight up or crazy
even Failin’ wanted the govt to not go into default
and West – what a let down
Just saying they will cave they already starting digging one
bastards
I can’t even believe we pay these P of S
Pelosi probably make 300k a year yet she is worth millions
I am naive I guess but that is bullshit
Palin is sucking up plenty as well and the “tea party” constituents are a total drag
omg I don’t want to support Ron Paul – he will lose
now I am babbling-maybe I should make a blog lol
thanks for this place
The Wizard of Uhhs has given strict orders to except no plan unless it goes past
2013 in order to protect it from being brought up during his stump speeches….
Lets give O’bastard credit for one thing, that being, he is gifted in the field of
“multi tasking destruction”, remember this is the man that brought us jobs
created or saved, now, that is what i’m talking about…….
I think he is a Dick too……..
When Reid’s bill comes back to the house, they should declare it d.o.a. and table it.
The stage is set. Commerce Dept. has shown the economy “bottomed” in 1Q 2011 and “started rebound” in 2Q 2011. WH announcing the GOP debt “terrorists” are already effecting the economy. Oh, and they knew what the number were going to be, even Bernanke, well before the start of the serious demogoguery by Obama. It’s a classic Lefty move. Start a fire then plant the matches on their opponent.
Expect a “debt” crisis on Monday PM with markets, bonds, etc., making it another Black Monday (obtw, this may be racist, but go look up vile terms for intercourse). If you’re not in cash or other safe harbor, kiss you assets goodbye.
If you are, then time to be a Buffet and buy, buy, buy.
It’s now obvious that the Dems will not pass anything that does not include tax increases, only makes the ruse of spending cuts and raises the debt ceiling past November 2012.
Boehner, PLEASE just hold a press conference, tell America you tried and go play golf at the Coldstream Country Club.
Boehner:
Table whatever Granny Harry sends you and re-send CC&B since it remains passed. THEN do what Binturong says!
Average debt ceiling hike is 6 months. That’s what they get. The dems are freaking out over all this. The more they scream the more afraid they are. Hold firm.
the democratic party is and has been a clear and present danger to the nation. in any sane world they’d be put behind bars for intentionally pushing this debt debate to the very final hours for political purposes.
History started for dhimmicrats on their first day of self-awareness, but they think the rest of us can only remember back to our last BM. Raises in the debt ceiling have ALWAYS been short term. Long term = license to steal, except there is NOTHING left to steal.
What is happening is the crumbling of the DC Beltway, good ol’ boy network, which has kicked this can down the road for 50 years, over 70 for SocSecurity. Until Obama got there, the can was still mostly intact, but he ran over it with his hopey/changey bus, flattened and embedded it into the asphalt so deep, no one can pry it up enough to get a toe on it. Dingy Hairy wants to dig it out and fling it as far down the road as possible, like a Frisbee. Problem is, flattened cans don’t fly worth a crap and it’ll hook right into the deepest ditch we’ve ever seen.
If we don’t stop this clunker of a car they’ve piled us into, put it in reverse and back up this road we’re on, the country is surely going over the cliff ahead. Our front wheels may be over the edge already, in which case it is too late, unless we the people get out and pull it back. Congress and the Prez certainly aren’t going to – they’re still living in an alternative universe where the basic laws of economics don’t exist, and if we do go over the cliff, the clunker will magically sprout wings and fly!
The republicans managed to do SOMETHING, while the Dems kept saying time is running out. Now the Dems do nothing, what a surprise. People in this country were dumb enough to elect these Dems, are they at least waking up?
America loses its triple A rating on Obama’s watch. And the national debt swells to 16+ trillion. And GDP slumps. Let’s not get too distracted by Dingy Harry’s details.
We may not be able to get much done until we get Obama out of office. But given these grim facts, he’s a one-termer.
Roadmaster – That was an EXCELLENT analogy! …the can being run over by the hopeychangy bus…
