Maybe this will pass after all--Congress wants to go on vacation

[bklyncowgirl]

Any more haggling over this debt ceiling business will cut into our leader's traditional August recess. We wouldn't want the poor dears to have to work the month of August, now would we?

Of course will the Tea Party consider the traditional August Recess as sacred as their elders in the Halls of Congress.

1. 5 weeks

must be nice...

[neverforget]

2. They need to get out of town to celebrate their victory for the wealthy

and campaign contributors

[quinnox]

3. Yep there are big parties to go to

for all the politicians to celebrate their continuing successes for the ultra rich. "Woohoo, not one dime in higher taxes yet again!"

4. They can go on vacation - they should all vote no and just leave

Let the President use the 14th. it gets the House and Senate members completely off the hook.

5. High fives all round!

Political palms crossed with silver, the killing of the fatted calf, summertime and the livin' is easy.
If you're a Republican.

6. There aren't that many teabaggers in congress.

Sure, enough to hold the nation hostage; but not near enough to "deprive" congress of its vacation. ;-)

7. As I said on another thread--some things are sacred.

To hell with the FAA your Senator's on Vacay! B-)

8. So, can Obama

make recess appointments then?

[gratuitous]

9. They want to get a deal done in the worst way

And will succeed wildly.
