House “Republicans” Declare War on the American People and Economy. Again.

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/house-republicans-declare-war-on-the-american-people-and-economy-again/

Snip:
"These cretins are f***ing insane. Just like before, John Boehner and his cabal are proposing to take our tax dollars, give us even less for our money, and shovel the stolen bucks to their cronies and paymasters. And they are threatening to wreck the economy if they don’t get 100% of what they are demanding.

The House, you see, is threatening to stop paying the bills that they have run up since 2000 if Obama does not agree with each and every aspect of their spending plan. This is what “refusing to raise the dent ceiling” actually means. These “representatives” spent a decade running up the national debt, and now are welshing on the deals they themselves made."

The GOP has been playing this game for years now, and it always blows up ini their face.

I don't mind them being elitist, self-serving, arrogant frontmen for the rich (that's just greed and character flaw), but it's a little annoying that they are incapable of learning from their own mistakes - stupid, by definition - and don't care that America is on to them.

It keeps their incompetent and anti-American conduct front and center. Makes it harder for people to forget by the next election.
