@BD- Uh-huh. And right-wing extremists…otherwise known as the Repub *base* …are already screaming bloody murder. While Rush continues to whip-up the "true patriots" with his non-sensical and flame-throwing babbling, bordering on a meltdown (I forced myself to listen to about 3 minutes of his show this afternoon).

Anyway. We shall see IF Boehner has any guts..and any "sense" at all(?)

Looks like Repubs might be coming to their senses at least about the debt. Just announced there might be a deal. Let's see if it's clean without anything attached to it.

..and on a related note…..

You know the patients are running the asylum when a neoCon issues a very PUBLIC PLEA to SANE Repubs to step up and save his party:

David Frum:
It's not enough to condemn the crazies in the company of friends. Responsible Republicans have to act. They have to organize and mobilize. This latest debt crisis exemplifies the problem: to threaten default on the obligations of the United States is simply not an acceptable tool of politics. Instead of making excuses—or rummaging through the record books looking for incidents that can be misrepresented as proof that "everybody does it"—responsible Republicans need to challenge their own party. The party leaders know the right thing to do. They are afraid to do it. [….]

"Let's face it, Tea Party poster boy and current Texas Sen. Ted Cruz led his party into a virtual mine field — then abandoned them."

Yes he did DJ. But the truth is..not only was Boehner and the other so-called Repub *leaders* fully aware they were thrusting themselves into a LIVE "mine field"…they knew it would blow up in their faces. And yet they so feared angering their *base* that they went there anyway. Cruz, IMO, just served as lead Kamikazi clown.

"Will the Repubs come to their sense before the U.S. defaults…?"

HAH. Yeah right DJ.

The Repub *establishment* has whipped the *base* up into such a hostile and paranoid frenzy that I don't think anything short of totally destroying this Presidency will satisfy that wretched lot. Our credibility and economy be d*mned.

Gonna be interesting to see just how this all plays out.

The republicans are fools and I am glad that their plan has back fired. I wonder if they ever gave consideration the negative effect it was going to have on other republicans. They stupidly thought they were just effecting democrats but it is effecting their party members just as greatly. I wonder how this is going to play out in the poles next election? I don't think it is going to be too good for them.
