Screw the debate. Let the bastards hang.
Advertisements [?]
So Boehner and McCain have a super-secret fantastic plan to save the economy, eh? Some shit they pulled out of their ass this afternoon, eh? Well I say screw trying to get this shit done in time for the debate. I say we sit back, let them bring their dumbass plan (which has ZERO support from the administration, the fed, or the Democrats) to the floor. Up or down vote. Force the Republicans to take a stand on this idiocy. (Hey, who wants to vote for decreased regulation in the midst of a financial crisis? Who's up for re-election right now?) Call their bluff. "OK, you got a plan? Let's see it. Let's vote on it ASAP"

Of course they don't actually have a plan. They don't have anything that anyone would actually support. They just have some shit they're using to gum up the works. Call them on it. Let it fail on a floor vote, then vote on the compromise plan. They created this mess. If they want to "fix" the economy their way, let them have at it. Somehow I suspect enthusiasm for their plan will be very minimal if it ever gets close to a vote. But I'd like to see their bluff called just the same.

As for the debate... This is better than a debate. Boehner could be wearing an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt right now for all the good this is doing them.
