debt ceiling

it really boggles my mind that something like 60% of polled americans are opposed to raiseing the debt ceiling, and also that a plurality of voters view obama as to blame for this debt ceiling crisis.

so i am curious not so much as to your opinion on what is going to happen, but as to your opinion on how the american people, or people across the world will percive it? do you think that americans are really stupid enough to fall for the republicans destroying the economy to make obama look bad?

|Sounds a lot like your typical right-wing politician.

And they get flushed out every few years because of that. Democrats get rewarded for doing the same, but this is politics. The Republican party is pretty crappy right now. The Tea party is disorganized but slowly scaring the the fuck out of the old Republican guard. Democrats can't seem to fix anything without making everything even worse. Ron Paul is still a joke.

Also, Liberals = Left. Republicans = Right. Independents = Center. Europe has a completely different type of political spectrum.
