I am disappointed in the vote on the debt limit increase. The five Wisconsin Republican Representatives to the House all voted for the increase. That was a little surprising. That Paul Ryan was party to that unanimity was not. I have never considered Ryan a true conservative. Very smart. Very sociable. But not very conservative.
The Wisconsin House Democrats went one for, one against, and one missed the vote.
That 269 for - 161 against vote on the limit increase puts the country an untold additional trillions of dollars further into debt. Somehow, according to those who support the measure, it will now be easier to get out of debt.
I anticipate an increase in Michelle Bachman's stock. Sarah Palin is even looking more presidential.
The Libertarians still have work to do before they become a serious consideration. But they may become serious spoilers, although I don't know who they will be spoiling. It won't be the Republicans. They have already blown it.
Hold on my heart.
