because it's the best way to ensure Obama doesn't get re-elected. yes yes I know, that's cynical, but it doesn't mean it's not true.
Before OBL, I thought there was a better than good chance they'd raise the limit without hassle and haggle.. sure they'd thump their chest and all, but they'd raise it.. but now, post-OBL, I really wonder if they will. I honestly don't think they want to give Obama what they would call a 'win'... I'd like to think these people know better and know the calamity they are tempting by just waiting to pass it..much less by not raising it, but I really have no trust in the GOP anymore. After some of the things I've seen from them and their supporters in some cases.. I honestly feel that yes, they literally would destroy the country in order to get the Presidency away from Obama and back into their hands.. any of their hands, including Palin or Bachman's..
what they are going to do now is play some chicken.. the question is, are they playing with the understanding that yes, they will blink and they will turn at the last minute.. or are they playing with the understanding that come hell or high water, country be damned, they ain't moving for shit.
It's going to be interesting to watch the fight. I hope Obama/Dems hold their position and don't cave into the blackmail.. because I hope the GOP isn't really ready to destroy the country over a black man being in office.. but at the same time, I don't hold much hope for anything anymore so... who fucking knows.

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)
