FreedomWorks CEO Says Hard Right Should Stay The Course Past Debt Limit Deadline

Source: Huffington Post

Matt Kibbe, the CEO of the conservative nonprofit FreedomWorks, said House Republicans should continue pushing to end or delay the president's health care reform law. Kibbe insisted that Obama could conceivably sign a bill that gutted, or at least delayed, his signature legislative accomplishment.

"It's certainly possible because he's already done it. He opened this can of worms by delaying the employer mandate and delaying some other 19 provisions," Kibbe said.

Kibbe further expressed the belief that conservatives should hold out for concessions from Obama and Democrats even if it means going past the Oct. 17 deadline when the U.S. government runs out of money. At that point, lawmakers will need to raise the so-called debt ceiling in order to allow the Treasury Department to borrow more money to finance the government's spending commitments.

"We will go past the deadline for the debt ceiling, and I don't think that that is a bad thing if we can get to better fiscal policy," Kibbe said.

Here is one of the money maker for the Tea Party pretty much admitting that the House GOP is carrying out his agenda, yet the corporate media continues to allow Republicans to claim without contradiction that Democrats are the ones refusing to negotiate.

...When you have deep pockets like Freedom Works blatantly plotting a strategy for pushing the Nation into default in order to impose their radical ideological agenda.

A GOP cave looks possible, so this aparatchik's job is to boost morale.

File it with other whistlers past the graveyard who claim the shutdown could easily last weeks.
