Boehner: Republicans must be "adults" about raising debt ceiling.

[jmdrake]

Prediction:

Rand will vote against, but not filibuster.

If he votes in favor of, then there is only one thing left to say:

There's no way in hell Rand votes for raising the debt ceiling. No way in hell. If he does then I officially believe in alien body snatchers.

If Rand filibusters (And they don't figure out some way to temporarily or PERMANENTLY remove him) and the U.S. goes into default, they'll just blame Rand for doing it!

LoL, for what it's worth I don't think he will either, but, you never know.

The fetid swamps of DC have corrupted many more before him.

Probably true. Look for the national media to start tossing around words and phrases like "delusional," "Quixotic" (they love using that one for Ron) and "dangerously naive" once Rand starts putting up some resistance.

Our entire rotten EXPLOITIVE political system is based on the expectation that the productive American people continue to produce and willingly bear a greater burden. How do these charlatans expect to ever pay off this debt, or even the interest on the debt? WITH THE MONEY THAT WE EARN. In other words: higher taxes to immediately rob us and greater inflation to gradually rob our savings.

I have been saying, with little success in these forums, that we need to threaten to incite a TAX REVOLT. This is how to do it LEGALLY:
Have our Tea Party congresspersons introduce legislation to outlaw payroll tax withholding. Require workers to write a check every month for their taxes. That will wake everyone up, the slaves and the slave masters.
If these "revolutionaries" that have been elected don't attempt to free the tax slaves, then they have been exposed as a bunch of frauds. This is why we need a serious national discussion of creating a third party to put the Republicans out of business.

if they blame it on Rand, it will be worth it, because no one in their right mind will lend money to the U.S. government from that point, money which is always used to make the government bigger.

How long did it take to pass obama care? For reference..

Rand should vote no, but not filibuster. Then we target the republicans in the house and senate who voted yes for fully funded primary challenges in 2012.

The Americas, and the world, are in a spiral of crisis. This is the point at which the interventionism of past policies have given way to their destructive effects. The people have a simple choice: onward to full socialism, or back to the free market. More government, or more freedom from it. The fence we think we are sitting on is falling over.

Exactly so. Time to pony up. It's here folks, whether we choose actively or by default.

Now that is precious.

All members of government need to be tested for sanity by the health department.

Government testing itself. Yeah, that's a good idea.

now we see why Boehner isn't being TSA'd at the airports - there's nothing there to grope.
