There is something very childlike with the way they think. It could be a problem that wingers don't mature at the same rate as the rest of us. I wonder if anyone has done a study. * And Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) believes that if we lower the debt ceiling, it will “ create jobs.” Some people really don’t belong in public office; Paul Broun is one of them.

Its like we have multiple GW Bushs.....all over the country. There was a time when the Sun Times was considered a conservative paper. I guess that must be changing. Editorial: Joe Walsh has a loud voice, but nothing to say Joe Walsh is what’s wrong with Washington. The Republican freshman congressman from Chicago’s northwest suburbs is the poster child for the uncompromising and vitriolic style of politics that’s about to send our nation over a cliff. This is a fellow who could not manage his own finances in the past, even failing to pay his income taxes, yet he lectures the nation on any cable TV show that will have him about the unassailable rightness of his extreme stand on the debt ceiling crisis. This is a fellow who likens President Barack Obama to a “10-year-old over his head.” This is a fellow who accuses the president of “lying.” In a democratic republic, where people will disagree and nobody can dictate anything, compromise is the only path forward. Yet this is a fellow would rather lose a mile than give an inch. If reasonable Americans wonder why House Republicans would rather pass on an opportunity to cut trillions in federal spending than agree to raise taxes by a penny on millionaires, look no further than Walsh. “I came here figuratively to scream from the mountaintop,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet last week. There is no “figuratively” about it. suntimes.com

>> You are insane...aside the fact that we exceeded the debt limit in may, what you just wrote would plunge the country and probably the world into a depression... 1. It wasn't a recommendation. I was simply pointing out the abject ignorance you showed in your preceding post. 2. To the contrary, Congress taking action to control spending in a serious way will have the effect of helping the economy to turn around within a couple years. Which is better than anything Obama has done. We tried it your way and wasted a trillion dollars in the process, adding to the debt crisis we now face. It is time to do something different.

"what you just wrote would plunge the country and probably the world into a depression..." Well, yeah. Don't you think the Republicans would sweep all of the elections then? Because this is what is really behind this. Whatever it takes to win. No price is too high...
