The Republicans want to suicide the economy in order to uphold their theology--that taxes are of the Devil, and should be resisted at every turn.
Suicide bombers in Iraq and Palestine will strap on vests laden with explosives, walk into public places, places where even friends and family members may be at the time, and trigger an explosion, losing their own lives, and harming innocent people who have done nothing to them in order to prove a point.
Republican lawmakers in Washington, driven by the rabid TEA party types, are acting like suicide bombers. They're deliberately going to not vote for an increase in the debt ceiling, and deliberately will not force the top 2% of the monied class to share in the sacrifice that the rest of us have already. They will harm their fellow citizens, family members, friends, those who voted for them (though some of these will never understand when they've voted against their own best interests), and entire communities in this nation.
It might be called obscene. It will surely be called bombastic and incendiary. None of these stop it from being true.
