What response to Geithner?

By Rudy Cajka

Geithner's threat to ignore the debt limit was a shot over the bow.  What to do about it?  I think there should be some type of response to this and not let it go unremarked.

They should stop all negotiations immediately, for starters.  It is pointless to negotiate if the negotiations are pointless.  The negotiations are pointless if the administration has every intention to go on doing what they are already doing.  The Republican caucus could just say the same, that until Geithner retracts his statement, they see little reason to negotiate.  And that would be absolutely right.  If they want to ignore Congress, what need do we have for a Congress?  And just go on a July 4th recess.  Obama wants them to stay.  Hell, no!  Leave and make a big deal of leaving.  He's "dissing" the Congress.  Diss his own ass right back.  He ain't dictator.  Not yet!  Don't cow tow to this "dick".

An offer to negotiate has already been turned down. McConnell already tried.  He shouldn't have.  But the evidence is already there.  Obama says "stay", but refuses to meet.  Got nothing to say?  Say it right back.  Don't take anything off this "dick".

Not only should I use "dick", everybody else should start using it.  It bothers them.  Then rubs in till it gets freaking raw.  It was one of their own who said it.  They can't even take that!  Say it, and stop being doormats.  They can't come off looking like doormats.  That don't look good, dudes.

This is all for "floor show".  But that matters.  If you look weak, you will be steamrollered.  If he violates the law by ignoring Congress, then we have a Constitutional Issue as well as an Electoral one.  Make it a freaking issue if he does it.  Take his threat and shove it right back down his throat.

The Republican caucus is being tested.  Crunch time is right around the corner.  Man up, or slither out of town.  It's one or the other.  Can't do both.
