The sad thing about the whole debt ceiling debacle (and indeed about pretty much everything since Obama took office) is that the public (at least according to polls) knows what it wants and that ain't what the Republicans are offering. But in the chest-thumping branch-waving milieu that is politics, no one is interested in the Left's cowering submission, and so keep voting for the stronger GOP silverbacks despite the fact that they have nothing to offer but more pain.
As rational as we'd like to believe we are, at the center we're just stupid primates, impressed by feats of strength and shows of teeth.
