Current debt limits and moving forward (in Debates)

Republican Leaders Debt Limit Hypocrisy

An interesting article I found, and since we haven't had a debate since the presidency I figured this one could stem some interest. Opening statements?

Just like how Obama was against raising the debt ceiling before he was for it.

Or how the Democrats were against the Bush tax cuts before they were for 98% of them.

Politicians are only interested in their own jobs and to he'll with us common folks.

They only hope is a smaller streamlined government that stays the hell out of our way. And no, I am not against all regulation so please refrain from the typical straw man arguments I constantly see in these threads.

Been a while since we shared a bowl, wingdog.
Wish you'd end on topic(or did you?;)then not torch straw men of straw men from straw men.

For those wondering about Obama, yeah, he flipped for fishes.
