Suddenly holding the debt ceiling hostage is now just "theater" to Amash and his cohorts.


The hypocrisy with which conservative politicians coat themselves with everyday is as thick as pancake batter when it comes to the debt ceiling. And no one spreads it one like Rep. Justin Amash can. For that matter Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) is no slouch in that department either.

It was Ted Cruz that led the charge from the Senate and influenced these knuckleheads to shut down the government over Obamacare. Amash was all guns a-blazing during the shutdown, but now suddenly he's changing his tune on the debt ceiling fight.

Snip..............

Suddenly holding the debt ceiling hostage is now just "theater" to Amash and his cohorts. They almost destroyed our economy with their debt ceiling fever swamp politics and their government shutdown fiasco, but since it's a different day, the debt ceiling is nothing more than a bad off Broadway play that gets closed down in a week after it premieres.
