The post-deal talking points from the Boehnerites in the house seem to be, "We got a pretty good deal, this is just a minor skirmish anyway, I know some of you tea party folks aren't happy, but hold your fire until the debt ceiling increase comes up next month. We're going to stick the screws to Obama and get REALLY tough!"

How come I have the feeling when this debt ceiling increase comes up next month and we go through this government shutdown deja-vu, the post cave-in talking points will be, "We managed to get a few concessions, not as much as we would have liked, But this debt ceiling increase was too important to risk the countries credit over. I know some of you tea party folks are getting a bit angry. But you just wait for the 2012 budget. We're going to stick it to Obama then and get REALLY, REALLY tough! I promise. Scouts honor.

I agree with your post.

You are right. And I would have expected better from Freepers than saying this is a “Big Win.”

But I guess we saved our “political capital”!

I guess we are not broke as a country as long as we all have our political capital, right?

Maybe we can give our “political capital” to posterity.

They won’t have a strong country, or a strong economy, or any wealth, but by God, at least Republicans didn’t give away any political capital!

Boy that would have been horrible if we lost that.
