Absolutely. The fact that the Senate brokered a deal vs. the house allows those republicans that won on a tea party platform to vote Nay and save face. I'm guessing that many of the republicans facing reelection and needing independent support will vote yes and celebrate that they helped the country avoid disaster.

Doesn't matter, the Power of the Purse now belongs to the Executive Branch. Our Country has been Fundamentally Transformed.

We no longer have Leaders, we have RULERS.

If you think for one minute anybody will remember this next November, you are pissing up a rope. And besides that, it only took a full-on no-holds-barred propaganda effort by the media (who are simply democrat operatives anyway) to get it to this point.

I guess Obama finally figured out which citizens to hurt.

(Assuming you are making reference to legitimate well-constructed polls without third grade questions like "who is acting like a spoiled child?")

They're just going to keep raising the debt ceiling over and over again.

If you can't see that, you're blind.

Just print more money, the average American has no concept of economics to know why this is a bad idea.
