Screw the Government

[ek forever]

And if the American people agree with you then those Democrats will get voted out in their next election. But until that happens, we still need a working government, not gridlock. If the GOP is prepared to be held accountable if they debt ceiling is not raised, then by all means they should continue the way they are going.

Apparently you missed the last election. That and haven't looked at polling numbers for congressional approval and generic ballots.

Last November was the biggest republican house gain in ~70 years. It is pretty obvious the American people aren't terribly pleased with the Democrats. Not to mention there weren't many democratic seats up for re-election in the senate compared to republican seats.

Also, there is redistricting being done with a sweeping tide of republican state legislatures. Many pollsters and analysts think that republicans will gain 30-50 seats in the house from redistricting alone.

Boehner, is a duck and dodge Bitch !!

Which politician isn't? The president is a key example of someone who ducks and dodges. The guy didn't address the oil spill in the gulf for 41 days, he played golf 3-4 times before he gave an address to the media about the oil spill. The guy has ignored the deficit, he kicked the can to a commission, proposed a budget with a deficit so large it failed in democratically controlled senate 97-0 talked about it a lot and didn't do anything for going on 3 years now.

As I said, if they are fine with the consequences, then the GOP shouldn't vote for a debt ceiling increase. But if you think all the GOP voters are against the debt ceiling increase you are simply misinformed.

And on a general note, those new representatives get to vote how they like but it doesn't mean the rest of the government must bend to their will. The newly elected aren't any more special than those that were elected before them and a Democratic congressman from California doesn't represent the republicans of Ohio, so why would he vote based on what people in Ohio think? You're oversimplifying how our government works. It's not winner takes all.
