What complete nonsense. Get a grip on reality. The Tea Party alone caused the downgrade, and they, and the Republican House that couldn't control them, own it.

It's the small subset of novice people with their "no raising the debt ceiling" complete financial idiocy that caused this. Can't wait until they are voted out of Congress next year. One and done. Anyone can be elected to the House, and that sure proved it.

And yesterday we have Ryan telling his caucus to "stand firm" and refuse all tax increases in the future. These people are literally destroying America with their stupidity and quest to destroy our government and our country, and obtain political power.

That said, we have the biggest Republican Do Nothing Congress in decades - this country is in recession and all they've done is name post offices? - a Republican Senate Minority Leader in McConnell who has said he will take the debt ceiling hostage for political purposes again and again, and that his primary legislative goal is to make the President fail.

How dare he.

Two years of complete political obstructionism by the Republican party, now literally causing harm to this country with the ratings fall (not that S & P is a paragon of ratings virtue). That was just S & P, Wall Street, jerking their owned Republican leashes for being stupid about the economy. These treasonous, unpatriotic jackasses have to lose their jobs, and they will next fall. Politics before country - eff them.
