The Republican leadership is planning to go along with Obama in raising the debt ceiling. However, the Fiscal Conservative/Tea Party faction of the GOP has said enough. They are proposing cuts rather than borrowing more money from China. Boehner and the rest of the GOP elite want to keep borrowing money. This shows the rift between the Conservative/Libertarian wing and the Rockefeller/Progressive branch of the GOP. The GOP elites don’t grasp the enormity of the economic crisis we face in America and act like things are normal. They are not and the Conservatives are calling their bluff.
Conservative Republicans in the House are upping the pressure on their party leaders to take a firm stand against raising the federal debt ceiling.
The Republican Study Committee (RSC) introduced legislation on Wednesday that it says would allow the Treasury Department to avoid a default on U.S. debt without expanding the borrowing limit.
[…]
But RSC Chairman Jim Jordan (Ohio) said Geithner’s warning is nothing more than “a pitiful scare tactic.”
“This is government mismanagement at its worst. Secretary Geithner knows full well that he has the authority to prioritize federal spending so that default is not an option,” he said. “This bill will take Secretary Geithner’s disastrous scenario completely off the table.”

The day of reckoning is coming as Paul Ryan said Tuesday night. The course we ran on is unsustainable. If the debt ceiling is to be raised, then serious cuts must be enacted. If not, we will keep borrowing money until China decided their investment isn’t worth it. I hope the Conservatives win this one against the Rockefeller Republicans.
In other news Democratic plant and false flag operative Sharon Angle is not ruling out a Presidential run.
Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle of Nevada descended upon the movie premiere of a conservative Christian movie in Johnston tonight, and she wouldn’t say that she was running for president.
But she wouldn’t say that she wasn’t.
“I’ll just say I have lots of options for the future, and I’m investigating all my options,” Angle said before a couple hundred people sat down to watch the premiere of “The Genesis Code,” a $5 million film that aims to present a controversial view on religious freedom and on the balancing act between faith and science.
Sharon Angle is not a real Tea Party activist. She was a plant put in there by the Democrats to prevent Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden from winning the nomination and defeating Harry Reid. Now they are plotting to have her run for President on the hopes she can once again trick Conservatives with her hijacking of the Tea Party label and do for Obama what she did for Reid. Maybe she and Christine O’Donnell can form a ticket together. Their slogan should be: We are not witches, we are bitches! That would be a winning formula, you betcha!
I wish these losers would just go away and let Conservatives who can win take on the Progressives.
