Tea Party kicks Boehner in the teeth - again

[Riot]

Late this afternoon, the Tea Party contingent of the GOP told Speaker Boehner they refuse to accept Boehner's last-minute plan for raising the debt ceiling (two short term raises through 2012 with moderate to low spending cuts)

This leaves only Sen. Harry Reid's plan (massive cuts equal to debt ceiling raise through 2013).

What will be the outcome? The President has a press conference tonight at 9pm

I'll guess: Obama will give the GOP one last public chance to raise the debt ceiling via accepting Reid's plan. The Tea Party won't let Boehner accept. Tomorrow Obama will raise the debt ceiling via the 14th.

We're f.ucked either way. Winning this is like winning a free root canal.

The economy is going to sink now or in the next 2-5 years. This is a classic case of a degenerate digging a deeper hole and not being man enough to face his problems.

In his speech, Obama asks Americans to contact their Congressmen regarding debt ceiling - the Congressional servers have crashed tonight. All the contact sites are down.

Well the speech did cater to the lowest common denominator.

#1 Only 58 percent of Americans have a job right now.

#2 Only 56 percent of Americans are currently covered by employer-provided health insurance.

#3 The median yearly wage in the United States is $26,261.

#4 The average American household is carrying $75,600 in debt.

#5 Only the top 5 percent of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise in housing costs since 1975.

#6 At this point, American families are approximately 7.7 trillion dollars poorer than they were back in early 2007.

#7 The poorest 50% of all Americans now own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States.

#8 According to one study, approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States were living below the poverty line in 2010.

#9 Today, there are more than 44 million Americans on food stamps, and nearly half of them are children.

#10 According to Newsweek, close to 20 percent of all American men between the ages of 25 and 54 do not have a job at the moment.

And tonight this President beats the class warfare drum with ZERO sensible solutions to create jobs...just raise taxes on couples who make over $250,000 and make half-as.sed cuts that won't lower the deficit.

Tax revenue won't increase. GE won't pay their fair share. But the leeches (mostly former military) will still get their fat tax-free checks while working overseas. (Blackwater employees etc.)

Instead the people who, for the most part, who worked hard to earn $300,000 a year take it on the chin. Because everyone knows that $300,000 a year is filthy rich. These people don't deserve that kind of money but some lazy bum in a trailer does.

The people who aren't war mongers and bullies. The backbone of what is great about this nation. They're the f.ucking bad guys.

It was clearly intended, by both Obama and Boehner, for all the people who haven't been paying any attention whatsoever to this.

It's a horror show. My country is in peril and these guys are pointing fingers taking no real responsibility for this mess. They are acting like pedantic children.

We're the laughing stock of the world.
