The Colbert Report Above: George Bush increased the debt ceiling in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006. 2007 and twice in 2008 (Obama has used the same strategy, though ineffectually. Rand Paul is using this Obama strategy as well but more effectually possibly because he's white. See? Ron Paul is STILL the ONLY consistent Politician.) (BTW, is Rand Paul is referring to Bill O Reilly's beliefs when he was talking about bestiality. More about the GOP here. More about Bill O'Reilly here.) BTW: Important Republican Party Position: McConnel admits that making sure Barack Hussein 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. i.e. Bad Economy = Good for GOP Rather than defaulting on debts it makes more sense to raise the ceiling and solve the budget problem. THEN, over time, the debt will decrease if that is how the budget is balanced. Extract From: [Case Study] Political Nonsense of the Debt Ceiling "Debate" Here is the plan Mitch McConnel came up with... 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. Notes:
On Gold: Fear created by Debt Ceiling haggling in the US dropped the dollar and boosted the price of gold. As the BBC reports; "The price of gold has risen to a fresh all-time high of $1,594.16 an ounce, and the dollar has fallen, on concerns the US may default on its debts." Moment of Zen On The Stock Market Outrageous: Ammo Maker Selling Pork-Coated Bullets to Fight Muslims
Jihawg Ammunition, based in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, has recently begun selling bullets laced with a pork coating, promising “patriot” gun owners that the bullets “will strike fear into the hearts of those bent upon hate, violence and murder.” Consumption of pork is forbidden in Islam. The idea behind the bullets is that a Muslim hit by them would be desecrated and unable to go to heaven. This isn’t the first time Hatewatch has heard claims of pork-coated bullets from Muslim-bashing profiteers. In May 2011, we reported on a company called Silver Bullet Gun Oil, which said it had produced for sale a gun oil laced with pork fat. In that case, the creator openly affirmed the offensiveness of his product. “It is designed as an affront to an entire belief structure,” the business owner told Hatewatch at the time. A request to Jihawg Ammunition for comment today was not immediately answered.
