Turns out, holding the Government hostage to push a minority view was actually a planned political strategy...
In other words, a strategy for politics (that Romney was making fun of) is being used on the United States Government...
As a weapon to redress minority grievances (and by minority, I mean a VERY small minority. We're talking Hitler electoral rates here! i.e.watch video above and read this carefully, if you can handle it)...
The Plan.
... I'll take it from here Jon.
Since thier last attempt to hold the Government Hostage, Jon. I'm hearing from sources who claim to have received information, and I quote, 'straight form the horses mouth, sir'. I think I have a video clip, oh here it is! See for yourself...
1. "I would advocate that we pass legislation giving the president the authority to REQUEST of us an increase in the debt ceiling that would take us past the end of his term" - "that [legislation] would be subject to disapproval. That resolution of disapproval, if passed, would then go to the president, he could sign it or he could veto it." - McConnell - Theme: Passing legislation to 'disapprove it later.
2. "The reason default is no better idea today than when Newt Gengrich tried it in 1995, is it destroys your brand [i.e. America's credit rating] and would give the president the opportunity to blame Republicans for bad economy" - Defaulting was seriously tried by Newt in 1995.
3. "Look, he owns the economy. He's been in office almost 3 years now and we refuse to let him entice us into co-ownership of a bad economy" McConnel - The co-ownership is referring to the United states economy.
Important Position: McConnel admits that making sure Obama is a one term President is his primary political goal. This means that the worse the economy is the better chances are that Obama will be a one term president.
congress can rewrite a policy before a default as they have allot of time, so the primary political goal has become to attack Obama (and each other) and NOT to fix the economy...
At one point, McConnell said: "I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is unattainable." In an interview with CBS News, the president noted that McConnell has described his major political goal as making Obama a one-term president.
