I prefer the government to be divided. Keep those loons in check. I still seriously doubt we'll default, $20 still on the table.

Obama's being cold on this too, refusing to say open medical treatment? Those evil republicans.

Yup. Dad said long ago, the best you can hope for is a divided government and nothing gets done. Because anything they do just makes things worse.

Ah come on lads, republics have been tried before and they all fail eventually, it was a pretty good run but the party is over.

We should be able to run on momentum for a while, the Romans did for some time.

My truck engine will eventually die too, but I'm not going to go put sugar in the gas tank and hasten it's demise.

Now c'mon Pete. You know that is utter bullsh!t. The Teapublican's want to only fund parts of gubmint that they want funded or what makes them look bad.

This piecemeal backdoor attempt at a morally bankrupt libertarian utopia will fail.
