Have you heard the one about John Boehner saying that when Congress ups the borrowing cap, he’ll make sure to demand plenty of spending cuts to offset the raise? Sound familiar? Tax cuts BAD, spending cuts GOOD.

He knows how well that played out last time. So why is he trying to prove his own insanity is he doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?

Is he, is the GOP, willing to sabotage the economy, despite the devastating effects that would have on millions of Americans, in an attempt to defeat the president?

Why, what reason would anyone have to believe such a thing!?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Are Republican lawmakers deliberately stalling the economic recovery to hurt President Barack Obama’s re-election chances? Some top Democrats say yes, pointing to GOP stances on the debt limit and other issues that they claim are causing unnecessary economic anxiety and retarding growth. [...]

[T]here’s evidence that unceasing partisan gridlock and the prospect of big tax increases and spending cuts in January are causing some companies to postpone expansions. Even small economic slowdowns are bad news for Obama, who is seeking re-election amid high unemployment.

Sen. Chuck Schumer says that another debt ceiling crisis would be inevitable, thanks to The Boehner:

“I hope that the speaker is not doing this because he doesn’t want to see the economy improve, because what he said will certainly rattle the markets.”

Nancy Pelosi agrees:

“It already can be damaging, just the fact that it’s brought up,” Pelosi told reporters Thursday.

Republicans say it’s absurd to make such an accusation.

Pot. Kettle. Absurd.
