The Republicans capitulate? And then you quote this:
The threat of a government shutdown receded Friday, as Senate Democrats tentatively embraced a Republican plan to immediately cut $4 billion in federal spending by targeting programs that President Obama has already marked for elimination.
So the Republicans had already said they wouldn't accept a continuing resolution that didn't have cuts, Reid said a continuing resolution with no cuts only, and the "compromise" is a brief continuing resolution... with cuts.
Now to me, this looks like a Republican win and the dems capitulated. So are you just spinning like crazy or have you really twisted this around in your head as a Republican defeat? I honestly can't tell.
