At this point, they HAVE to take any deal that prevents a default. We're not dealing with rational people here. The TeaBaggers have everybody by the balls.

I disagree.
House-led 6month Budget passed in April through FY 2011 implicitly authorizes spending above the {then preset} debt ceiling.  Impoundment Control Act says president can (and must) spend that $. Constitution per a14.4 and interpretation of Perry case says default is not allowed, therefore I think President should yes, ACT UNILATERALLY and borrow the $, give a concise press conference saying: I did what I had to to uphold the constitution, if the Republicans want to impeach me for acting to enforce a law they passed in known conflict with an existing law, Bring it.

The teabaggers have the republican leadership by the balls, because people like Boner and other "right of centrists" are unelectable without them.

But the hand the baggers hold isn't as strong as they would like to believe. 

Obama would appear to hold a trump card.  Don't know if he'd like to throw it on the pile, don't know if he has the balls to hold his line.  God!  How I hope he does.  I hope he goes all scarface on 'em.

The TeaBaggers and a fair amount of Republicans believe this with all their hearts: The fundamental problem in America is that Jesus doesn't love us any more because there is a Democrat in the White House. It's NOT a rational belief, and the only way to combat it is to threaten them with something they fear even more than Democrats: Muslims that will come over here and kill us all. As soon as Barry Hussein threatens to stop fighting them over there because we are broke, they'll get in line and damn quick.
