Clueless Republicans having trouble figuring out how to raise the debt ceiling

The thing to remember here is that between Democrats and sane Republicans, the votes are there for a clean debt limit hike. Combine that with the fact that the votes aren't there for a ransom note, a clean debt limit bill is actually the only option for House Republicans, yet they still cannot bring themselves to acknowledge this obvious reality, at least according to this CNN report:

"It’s unclear now what House GOP leaders will do."

There's nothing to discuss. The debt ceiling should be the most boring thing in the world. It needs to get raised, and the way you raise it is simply by raising it. This is not rocket science. There's no good reason that House GOP leadership hasn't taken care of business already.

I hope everyone who wrote those article talking about how House Speaker John Boehner was pleased to finally be back in control of his caucus, because if this is what control looks like, I'd hate to see mayhem.

2. This is what happens when media figures control the party and not the people

Rush, roger ailes and the koch's are calling the shots. The elected officials no longer care what the voters want only their media and donors tells them what to do and think. Thanks citizens united and the end of the fairness doctrine and media ownership rules being loosened. It f'd up this country.
