Rs continue to play with fire, ignoring the polls at their own peril. What they don't realize is that Obama and the rest of us have had enough of their childish antics. As Chris said, the GOP continues to unravel. Stephen Colbert on the Mitch McConnell debt ceiling plan...this is rich...do they think republicans are THAT STUPID? The answer is YES THEY DO... To keep the Republicans from being blamed for raising taxes or defaulting all they have to do is ask the president to submit a request to congress to raise the debt ceiling. Then, vote yes on a resolution disapproving of the thing they asked the president to do. Then, Obama would veto the disapproval, and since the republicans don’t have the two thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling gets raised and the Republicans get to say they voted against it. Twice. The GOP gets everything they want, except anything they asked for. And Obama gets stuck with what he wanted to begin with. And McConnell has gotten their nuts out of that vise — by cutting them off and leaving them behind for Obama to hang from his rear view mirror as an air freshener. The GOP leadership is in disarray. Cantor has gone rogue. Boenher cries in a party that doesn't like to see any 'softness' in their men and McConnell is just too old. Its a bad combo. Normally, it would be enjoyable to watch but the debt ceiling crisis is very real and a lot hangs in the balance.
