No, I am not starting a new series (THIS would be WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too time consuming to name ALL the thug hypocrites)  BUT, the award for today goes to Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia who was vehemently opposed to raising the debt ceiling until Virginia's credit rating was threatened to be downgraded because of the amount of  money the state receives from the federal govt.

WOW A DOUBLE HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOP Gov. McDonnell Flip-Flops On Debt Ceiling After Learning His State’s Credit Rating Is At Risk

Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA)

Despite days of negotiations, House Republicans are still standing firm against increasing the federal debt ceiling, threatening the country with default unless their demands for huge spending cuts (and no tax increases) are met. Not only would failing to raise the debt ceiling do serious harm to the national economy, it would adversely impact state and local economies.

In fact, earlier this week, the credit rating agency Moody’s warned that five states — Virginia, Maryland, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Tennessee — could have their credit downgraded if the federal government’s credit rating goes down, “because their dependence on federal revenue makes them vulnerable to a U.S. credit cut.” In response, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) urged Congress to come to a debt ceiling compromise “immediately“:

“There’s got to be a compromise, I’m not going to tell them how to do it. I’d suggest they try spending cuts — everybody knows they’re spending too much,” McDonnell said on MSNBC. “But they’ve got to get this done immediately or the uncertainty for the business community is going to be just devastating to our country.” [...]

It’s not going to get done without some compromise and when it’s affecting states now, it’s creating great uncertainty, there’s massive unhappiness with the federal government generally over its inability to do the basic things that government needs to do.

But McDonnell was not always so keen on Congress reaching a compromise. In fact, just a few months ago, he told the ultra-conservative Human Events that the debt ceiling shouldn’t be raised at all, unless Republicans received all their demands:

“The only way that it is appropriate to increase the debt limit,” McDonnell told HUMAN EVENTS, “is if there is a tangible, written, irreversible set of structural reforms in spending in the United States government that makes sure we are on a downward trajectory in spending that will get us to a balanced budget much farther.” “If we don’t achieve those goals, then I don’t see any gain in increasing the debt limit.”

It’s no surprise that McDonnell sees a benefit to raising the debt ceiling now. Perhaps he could convince the Republicans in Congress of the urgency of the situation?

Sure, post it. So what? I am not denying anything, I am also not engaging in your argument. I did however point out your main source is not credible, that's all.

Posted as counter by Rocky:

Well, it is good to know that you recognize hypocrisy (qoute"I am not denying anything")

And, I see you also realize when you have been caught exposing your own ignorance and lack of skill in debating and defending the "leaders" of the Republican party when confronted with examples of their hypocrisy (qoute "I am also not engaging in your argument")

And if you don't consider Think Progress credible, use the google machine and check out the discrepency of positions of Governor Bob McDonnell.

 

You are either using the old Eric Cantor trick of taking your marbles and going home OR, NAW you are just slinking away in defeat like exposed rethugliteacons usually do!  LOL
