Republicans fold like a cheap suit...

[kentuck]

After all their bluster and Frank Luntz talking points, the Republicans finally surrendered on the financial reform debate. For three days, they had illusions they could do the same trick they did with healthcare reform. They all held hands and voted against debating anything about Wall Street reform.

But, in the end, they decided to cut their losses and stop blocking the debate. They still don't want it but it was a political bomb waiting to blow up in their faces, and a few of them knew it. So they folded.

Now, today, they are attempting to spin it as if that was their plan all along. They were simply trying to get the Democrats to compromise with a few of their ideas. :-) These people are as fake as a three-dollar bill.
