Or, how about Harry Reid? Voted against increasing the debt limit in 2006, and when asked in 2011 about that vote, had this to say:

“I don’t really know what vote you’re talking about, I’ve cast about 15,000 votes,” he said. “I’m saying today that we have to raise the debt ceiling. There’s no alternative.”

Sure, Harry.

But they weren’t blackmailing the government to get it passed. They knew it was going to pass.

I have no idea why you’re overlooking this very obvious point.
