Ramifications of the debt-ceiling issue

<p>I guess I dwell in an inverted universe from DocT and Sailfish. </p>

<p>My take is pretty much exactly the opposite. Democrats are clearly terrified of Boehner’s bill because it forces a re-visit to the debt ceiling BEFORE the next election.</p>

<p>People are wondering why that should scare them so much. The claim that it’s all just too much ugliness for the delicate sensibilities of Americans is ludicrous.</p>

<p>What polls are showing this is hurting republicans more than democrats? Today’s gallup is very bad for Obama. I’m not finding the polls that are indicating this is dire for republicans.</p>

<p>Oh, and to suggest that if the economy stays bad that Boehner won’t be re-elected is kind of silly. The economy is ultimately perceived (rightly or wrongly) as the responsibility of the WH.</p>

<p>As I recall, the first Bush tried to blame everything on congress. It looks weak and lame to do that.</p>

<p>MODERATOR’S NOTE:</p>

<p>My request a few pages back to stick to the original discussion (ramifications of the debt-ceiling issue) has been ignored recently. The last 20 or more posts have been political. For that reason, I am closing the thread.</p>
