At first I thought Scorch was being facetious, but this person is really going to hair-split this. I'm amused.

He's trying to argue bulls-eyes and cross-hairs serve different purposes. One is nice and one is 'terrorism'. It is amusing.KC_Hokie

The terms are used interchangeably in politics.

No one is putting words in your mouth, this is in a nutshell, exactly what you're trying to say.

House approves the debt ceiling, onto the Seante now where it is pretty much a done deal. There was talk of Mike Lee-(R) Utah, wanting to start a filibuster but I don't see that holding up.

The issue is mostly gone for the remainder of Obama's term, there's a symbolic spending reduction, and no new taxes. It isn't going to get better for anyone at this point. Best for the Senate to just green light it so we can all move on.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"] I imagine the filibuster would be broken pretty quickly. Looks like this is the resolution.chessmaster1989

Depends on the circumstances at the time. If things start to look like the Republicans could capture both the Senate and the WH (one of which is a realistic possibility), a deal would be struck with the idea that the issue has been "settled" to avert something more draconian from being implemented. A short-term deal was struck before, no reason why it cannot happen again.
