Also, too, McChinless voted to raise the debt ceiling two additional times:

Please note how The Republican Spending Spree ended when The Bush Crime Family scurried out of office after the Great Banksta Heist of 2008.

Reppublicans. It’s what they are.

Fucking Traitors.

PS: Just for laughs, here’s Saint Ronnie Reagan’s record when it comes to the Debt Ceiling:

Ronald Reagan: 18 Debt Ceiling Increases, 11 Tax Increases and Expansion of Medicare

GOPers count on Americans generally being uninformed to hoodwink them into outrage over spending when in fact “raising the debt ceiling” is done in order to pay for things that have already been “bought,” so to speak. This necessity of governance was always done without fanfare and handwringing in every Administration, GOP and Democratic, up until the Obama Administration, where the GOP has used it to hold the nation hostage.

As Destroy the GOP says all the time, “Occupy a voting booth!”
