Washington (CNN) – House Speaker John Boehner told members of his GOP conference Friday that he plans to use the upcoming battle over raising the federal debt ceiling as leverage for more spending cuts.

Speaking at a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, Boehner said it was time to focus on spending now that the fiscal cliff has been temporarily averted.

Let them shut down the government and get us another couple of credit downgrades Bugs.

It will mean a thorough Housecleaning in 2014...

 

[OldGaffer]

Obama has said no already.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Tempting, but it would cost us a fortune in stock values, higher interest rates on the debt, etc.

We can only hope that Obama says it again early and often - he will NOT negotiate with these GOP lunatics over the debt ceiling. He must shout it from the mountaintop during the SOTU, and not do what he usually does and yield on it.

He CANNOT give in to extortion.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Obama has said no already.

Yes, but Obama cannot prevent these Republican wackjobs from defaulting the nation - he can only refuse to link the budget process and the debt ceiling process.

I wish he had the balls to make good on that but he has shown a propensity to kiss the Stool Specimen's ass rather than stand fast against the enemies of the country. I doubt he'll stand up to the bastard.

You underestimate the insanity level of Republican lunatics, especially the Teabagger subspecies.

The lunatics are all on your side, McKlan.

The lunatics are all on your side, McKlan.

Sorry, but it's the Pugs who are outright threatening to default the nation, not the Dems.

Own your lunatics and their loony policies.

I can hardly wait for 2014 to watch these GOPpers wither away

The lunatics are all on your side, McKlan.

And the cowards on yours, by your own assessment.

I prefer the company of lunatics to cowards. How about you? Gonna stick with the cowards with stool specimen all over their lips? Of course you will. No matter what. The butt suckers own you.

Didn't Boehner promise that over the "fiscal cliff" fight too???

Sadly, I think he's in a box this time. Cooperating with the Dems to avoid the fiscal cliff was a "one off," me thinks. His Teabagging caucus will go ballistic if he does not make good on his threat to tank the nation if the Pugs don't get what they want. The majority of those GOP wackos actually look forward to a default. If the budget issues are not worked out by the time the debt limit is truly reached, I really do think those lunatics are crazy enough to default the nation.

Wow, I never thought to see you speak about Boehner this way. At least in this you've come to your senses. I too hope Obama stops kissing Boehner's anti-American rotten ass.
