Let’s see how that all works for them in 2012. They’ve already started their various initatives to disenfranchise voters. They’ve got nothing left but attempts to suppress the vote.

If they hold the line on the debt limit and force America into an economic tailspin, enough of America will blame Obama for the Republican demolition of the economy to give them a chance to win in 2012.

At the risk of further hyperbole, if the Republicans manage to keep from raising the debt limit, We’ll have an economic crisis that will make the Great Depression look like robust economic times.

But it won’t matter to the Republicans, because they’ll have won, even if they’ve consigned America to the ash heap of history.

The Deficits and debt are a problem. Refusing to raise the debt limit is NOT the solution (or specifically, it’s the worst possible solution out of the whole lot).
