Oh the republicans don't care about the debt ceiling going up. They care about opposing Obama. If they cared about the debt ceiling they wouldn't have allowed it to be raised 19 times when Bush was in office.
Why do no republicans want to mention that?

The reason republicans are pressing against democrats so hard is because they have them by the balls and are wanting to get as much as possible out of the situation as they can, pretty simple.

The debt ceiling will be raised.
It's not what you want to see happen, but it will be raised.
You have to wonder why Reps are so against it now though. I know they didn't just grow a conscience about it. when they have been raising it for 25 years or more.

Democratic Underground is a Soros outpost isn't it? Seems more like a plan by tech savvy Democrat activists to stop Republicans from opposing the debt ceiling raise. I'm sorry to bust the bubble here, but that is how it really looks to me.
The IMF is now trying to strongarm Republicans by using a "the global economy is going to crash if you dont'" technique. Isn't that a replay of all the baillout/stimulus stuff ? When will people learn?

It's just a charade for public consumption, and the outcome is already decided and they are all acting out their roles.

Sometimes I feel alone in truly understanding this.
