OK, I've been around a long time, but I'm not much of a diary writer. Just felt I had to put this out there though...
Republicans to American Economy: DROP DEAD
should be the headline in every newspaper tomorrow, and I think we need to get this phrase out in the world. The media has been treating this whole debt thing with kid gloves and trying to gloss over how truly (and dangerously!) radical the House Republicans are.
Enough is enough-- people need to wake up to exactly what the stakes are here, and that Republicans in the house are basically saying "We want to personally wreck the American Economy and cause a global financial panic because we care more about getting reelected than we do about the fate of our country."
I've been incredibly irritated throughout this whole process, most especially with Obama's (typical) HORRIBLE negotiating skills. However, even if I would have deeply disagreed with Obama caving on cuts, he wasn't on a personal mission to do purposeful harm to the economy. It might have been an artificial crisis to begin with, but the radicalism of the Republicans is threatening to turn into one that's all too real.

Tweet it. Make it your facebook status. Say it to your friends. This is what the American people need to hear, and we need to be sure that they're hearing it in the news.
