Here's how many Republicans Senators voted to raise the debt ceiling each time it came up for a vote since 1997.
1997: 55
2002: 31
2003: 50
2004: 50
2006: 51
2007: 26
2008: 34
2008: 33
Then Obama was elected.
2009: 2
2009: 1
2010: 0
Yeah, Republicans were for raising the debt ceiling, until Prez O was, then they are against it. Just more of the same of "If Obama endorses it, we republicans are against it even if we were for it even weeks earlier!" Examples:
Financial disclosure
Cap and trade
Immigration
Deficit spending
Bipartisan deficit-reduction commission
Individual insurance mandate
Medicare spending curbs
But wait! There's more.
Again, why aren't more people questioning the motives of the GOP? Why aren't they being asked, no demanding to know, why they are holding the US citizens hostages for their own political gain? Why are they deliberately trying to tip the US economy into a depression?

Great! I haven't seen this before. Thanks.

What I should have added was how high Republicans voted to raise it when they voted during a GOP presidential administration. One was 190%
