When we elect the politicians we do with the hope that they will balance the ideologies we elect them on with the safety, security and value we have invested in this country. The GOP has elected to spoil that hope and exchange it for default. I think both parties are at fault for using the debt ceiling for political gain of any sort. I had a hope that we would get a big plan, big deal or something that would set the financial course of this county on a solid responsible path for many years to come. The GOP has derailed that hope and I am worried that Obama is willing to take his bluff to an "all-in" scenario. There are certain issues that should be illegal for politicians to play games with and our national debt is one of them.
I am not a strong religious person however, Jesus Said - ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. The GOP has made it a priority to drop the programs that directly influence and support the least of our brothers and sisters to the bottom of the list. Therefore I feel the GOP's claim on Christianity and being its moral compass in the political world is completely absurd. They are also the party that supports the death penalty but do not believe in a women's right to choice even when it threatens her life. I find the hypocrisies in the GOP have become so blatantly obvious and obtuse that there is no way a true Christian or morally guided person can support them.
