He already did cave. He's just having trouble getting enough fellows to cave with him.

This.

If Tea Party actually 'caves,' they get voted out, anyways.

If they agree to any unfair tax increase on the rich, they will extract severe, real spending cuts in entitlements. My guess it still comes down to their very-real leverage and the looming debt ceiling.

Than again, what the f do we know.

Democracy - New World Encyclopedia


Democracy is the name given to a number of forms of government and procedures which have legitimacy because they have the consent of the people they govern. The two main criteria for a democracy are, firstly that the officials exercising power have legitimate authority because they have been elected, as opposed to inheriting that authority or holding it by force; and secondly, the mechanism for changing the government is through peaceful and regular elections, as opposed to revolts, coups, or civil war. Democracy is not a theory about what the aims or content of government or law should be, only that those aims should be guided by the opinion of the majority, as opposed to a single ruler (as with an absolute monarchy, dictatorship, or oligarchy).
