do you think it would be possible that the republicans would accept the plan as a last second resort if they knew that if they didn't they would probably die since they are all old and senile
If it gets really bad the only choice is to pack up with my store of canned food and bottled water in my truck and then take a roadtrip until I'm out of the U.S, and live in the wilderness. v:v:v

Nah, they have a great lifetime government-sponsored healthcare program.

They're the ultimate evil villain. I bet they have an escape capsule.
The republicans realize that they're in a unique situation where they can potentially destroy Obama's presidency by either having him reject this bill or accept it in the way it currently is where more will be destroyed than rebuilt. They know the public will blame him and I'm sure he realizes himself that he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
And with this, the republicans may take control of the senate and possibly even the presidency in 2012.
Harry Reid is now filibustering his own bill to delay the vote until 1am on Sunday.

Whats the purpose of doing that?

giving little time to come up with a counter-measure to it
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;31433301]Whats the purpose of doing that?[/QUOTE]
To get more support.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31433244]The public won't support the republicans, on every news channel but fox news everyone is saying it's the republicans causing all this, public support for them has been falling, they're just killing themselves doing this.[/QUOTE]
Actually even Bill O'Reilly and Fox News are being critical of "craziness on the right" now

The Mann-conomy will also crash because no one will buy keys anymore. We'll be stuck with the unusuals we had before and hoarders will rule the day!

with O'Reilly and McCain turning around and calling conservatives wrong, hateful, terrible and living in a fantasy world... Invest in some ice skates, I do believe hell has frozen over.

No, it just shows just how awful the Republicans are acting right now.
It's horrifying.

Very small but important news just came up; McConnel has spoken with Obama, and both he and Boehner are saying that an agreement is apparently near.

It's what happens when you get a bunch of freshmen politicians who are more interested in "helping America" then getting re-elected, which for them translates into they don't care how many people get angry at them since they don't care about the vote.

Ah, here's Boehner and McConnel speaking about this president meeting... I don't really know what to think.
American politics are some really stupid shit.
I really can not stand this country anymore.

I agree. I'd honestly prefer they pass anything just so that I can hear about anything other than this in any form of media again.
Here in Colorado the news has been divided 80/20 between the Looming default and the new IKEA that opened here on Wed.

Everyone's pissed, even their own party's pissed at them. They're basically playing chicken with the economy and if they don't stop fucking around bureaucratic bullshit could send us into another actual depression. All over some god damn tax cuts they refuse to accept.
The Republicans need to shape up and real the fucking Teabaggers in fast or we're fucked at this rate.
It was amusing to see one of the Tea Party freshmen come up on the house floor today and tell the democrats that she voted for both Republican plans because she was against cutting medicare and then get laughed down by the democrats for the idiocy of the statement.

Speaking of which does anyone know about the process of legally getting a gun before Tuesday? I'm not the tin foil hat type but I do love me some being prepared for the worst.
Watching C-SPAN, it's like watching a Colosseum fight, people shouting at the speaker (Nancy Pelosi). It's like a hating machine, just breading more hate.
I'm sorry to ask this but can I get a concise summary with the events going on and what could happen. My head is all wrapped up and I'm getting lost in my mind thinking about population elimination, and control..

Basically Obama has ordered the Chinese to take back the debt in human slavery. He's allowing them to land in New England and head West taking all they see. The Republicans are trying to stop him, and failing. Everyone who submits to the new God of Obamacrats will be spared and delivered to Obama City (Formally Detroit)
It takes about 20 minutes to read the thread, it's all explained.
Wait, Fox News going against the Republicans in this economic crisis, and what they are doing?
Also, no job, relying on Financial Aid for college, and I live in California. So like I said, if the US defaults, I am screwed.

This sums it up quite nicely.
