Do the Senate Republicans Know How To Win??
Did Mitch McConnell just snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in the debt-ceiling talks? Maybe that weak chin that he has is an indication of a political glass jaw. If these SOB's capitulate again, there is going to be holy hell to be paid at the ballot box in 2012 - both for Democrats and for the RINO Republicans.
Senate Republicans Considering Back-Door Debt Ceiling Increase
Update: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) proposed a "contingency" plan for raising the debt ceiling Tuesday afternoon.

Only one-third-plus-one votes in the both houses would be needed to raise the debt limit under the plan.
McConnell said spending cuts would not necessarily be a part of the deal, which would raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion in three tranches before the 2012 election.
