The republicans went for broke and lost out.

No, they didn't. The Republicans didn't go for anything. They simply rolled over and took it. They voted on a bill they didn't even read that was drafted by Reid, Pelosi, and whoever it is at the White House that does actual work. They passed a bill loaded with pork barrel spending that actually INCREASES the debt. The Republicans folded before the cards were even dealt. And in the next few weeks, you will see them cave on the debt ceiling as well, just like they did 17 months ago.

151 of them held their ground.

The rest took the term "roll call" literally.
