Democrats blame tea party for debt downgrade
Heard the latest Democrat talking point? "Tea Party Downgrade."
Yep, the Dems and their media friends are claiming the recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating was caused because congressional members of the tea party threatened to block any action if they didn't get their way.
Truly amazing. Breathtaking in its lying audacity. Because the official records of congress show that House Republicans passed a bill that raised the ceiling and cut spending, and sent it to the senate in a timely manner.
Anyone remember what happened next? Oh, dat's right: Democratic senate leader Harry Reid refused to allow the bill to even come to the floor, either for open debate before the public, or for a vote.
Does that sound like the Democrats were being responsible adults, trying their best to negotiate a compromise bill? Or does it sound like a petulant child threatening all manner of destruction if he doesn't get his way?
Did Reid ever seriously explain why he tabled (killed) the House bill? If he did, it never made the internet.
Let me try some logic here: If Reid really thought the House bill was fatally flawed, wouldn't you think he'd welcome the chance to have his Dem team demonstrate that on the senate floor? Of course he would.
Even more so because since the Dems control the senate, they'd have a huge advantage in being able to set the terms for any floor debate.
But even with this huge advantage, Reid didn't allow a debate. Reason? He knew that in an open debate the Dems would have gotten clobbered, in public, on live television.
Example: David Axelrod can go on all the Sunday talk shows and claim that Republicans want to end Social Security and Medicare. But if a senator tried that bullshit on the senate floor, the GOP whip would call him out and demand proof of that lie. None would be forthcoming.
So with Democrat Reid having killed the House bill to resolve the crisis, the Dems now have the audacity to blame the tea party?
Hitler was right: When you lie, don't waste time with small ones, but go right for the Big Lie. Early and often.
