House Republicans are floating a new strategy that I like to call "pass and flee." This plan is genius in its dis-ingeniousness. Here is how it works: Sit around and pound scotches with the house leadership and then, just before the witching hour, pass some dumb shit Republican bill to raise the debt ceiling and then get the fuck outta dodge. TPM has more on the strategy:

Their plan to avert default fizzling, House Republicans are reportedly considering passing their bill and then skipping town.
According to Politico, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) are discussing "voting on their bill and, if it passes, leaving town â a bid to try to force the Senate's hand."
If I did not care for this country so much I nearly wish that they would go ahead and do it. I know that there would be a lot of pain but at least we could rid ourselves once and for all of the party that has done more to destruct this government than should ever be allowed.
It would be a fitting end to all of the bold stand strong bullshit talk that we have had to endure from these poseurs for the past 20 years.
Go ahead and run chickenshits. You will all be doing the country a favor when none of your ilk will be able to rise above the level of dog catcher in city politics.
