TRANSLATION: The GOP needs to submit a plan that liberals like so their base will disown them and any blame for the escalating debt becomes their fault.

Do these pansies really believe that the obumble is gonna cut off those SS checks? Senior citizens vote. Don't have the rate but I am sure it is a hell of a lot higher than welfare parasites that can't trouble themselves to actually take care of themselves.

Obumble will do what he always does... throw them under the bus.

I think LoZoccolo was performing some wordplay, and the primitives didn't get it.

'An Hero' - loosely defined as one who commits suicide over something stupid or trivial.

When they realize that the sole reason the only 2 plans left on the table, with ZERO tax increases, are attributable to the Tea Party influence, the gloves come off. 
Were it not for the Tea Party, the D's and R's would have talked big, preened in front of the C-Span cameras, then voted for a clean debt ceiling increase.  Better get used to it, Dude.

How many gubment programs are out there that spend billions for basically worthless projects?
Dozens, perhaps hundreds? Thousands?
Every drop in the bucket, DUmmies, every drop helps.

While we're at it, tell the UN to shove off.
They can find funding elsewhere.
