Boner and the GOP as a whole needs to stand strong. They have the winning hand here, as long as they don’t back down.

Yeah, sure the Obamaites are going to pin the “blame” on the GOP, but as the increasing hysterical “look what’s going to be cut!!!” doomsday predictions show, the public at large doesn’t care.

What’s more, these dire predictions put more pressure on the Democrats to cave, because they absolutely cannot afford for these dire predictions to be a bust. When they are, it blows apart the entire liberal worldview of “we can’t cut government at all or disaster will occur!” Joe Six-Pack is just going to say “hmm... looks like we could cut government after all. How about another 1%?” [Yes, I know these “cuts” are basically fictional, but let’s not confuse the low-info voters more than we have to.]

I think you need to step out of the echo chamber.

The cuts are going to be blamed on the GOP. The military and DOD cuts are making many of the former GOP voters very mad.

This was a very dumb move.
