I still say folding is your only move at this point. If they were folding on a hand they could win, I'd understand the right wing outrage more.

Just goes to prove the right is just interested in fighting at any cost. The Dems can sit back and got give an inch because they have the high ground. Then you get the added benefit of pissing off conservatives and goading them into stupid fights on the Dems terms. Fighting over everything just plays into Obama Co.'s hand imo.

ETA: Putin can be Putin because he has a much stronger position and he's a badass.

They've folded on every single issue since Obama has been President. I cannot think of a single issue, they didn't capitulate to the wishes of Obama and Reid, can you? This is a battle they could have forced concessions on. I blame the moderate R's for the failure. They have allowed themselves to be a rubber stamp for the Dem's and are fighting and ignoring the growing conservative movement in their own party. They need to be working more closely with Cruz, Rand and others, rather than fight and publicly criticize them, because they fear losing establishment control. Without the Tea Party individuals, there is practically no difference at all between Dem and Rep's at this point.
