I'm still betting there won't be a shutdown

[cali]

there will be a last minute deal. let's hope the dems don't do the folding.

[monmouth]

1. I sort of think that too. As long as Dems don't cave I'm fine with that,

and look forward to he exploding of bagger heads...Also the pundits who are cheering this on. Sunday chat shows should be interesting.

2. They had better not fold! NT

6. The Dems will fold

Like a cheap lawn chair.

Guttless they are.

3. I don't agree with you. The tea partiers in the House are

fflying high feeling their new found power and I don't think they'll budge. Boner won't push back at them because they've already said if he goes against them, he's toast! I do think there will be an agreement, but it won't be before a shutdown.

4. I still think so too...

5. I'm with you all the way on this one...

This is exactly my take too. This is grand theater... putrid, vulgar and mean, but theater.

7. after Obama agrees to massive, devastating cuts.

this whole thing just made me even more cynical, as if that was humanly possible.

8. Of course we'll fold....that's what we do.

9. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it lasts a month

Not at all.

10. I Bet The Dems Fold

I won't like it but I have learned to pay attention to history and recent history has shown the Dems cave to every demand the Republicans make from the President down to Congress. I hope and pray you can all make fun of me for being wrong but I wouldn't bet on that happening.

12. nope. looks like it's the pukes who are folding.

environmental riders have reportedly been axed.

14. I Hope You Can Tell Me I'm Wrong

about this entire mess. Please let me be totally wrong. But 78% seems pretty folded to me.

[FLAprogressive]

11. They've already folded by giving the GOP 78% of the cuts they wanted....

13. If they seriously give in on this

Then they surrender our democracy to fanatics who will only continue to demand more and more. They cannot compromise on this and expect it to be the end.

At some point... compromise becomes surrender and cowardice. Stand and fight, I know it will cost, I know it will hurt - but we CANNOT give in to these fanatical Tea Bagging terrorists.
