Useless flailing.
The GOP will not go to the mat on Obamacare and shut down the government. The Tea Party won’t either. Neither cares that much.
They didn’t insist on it for the 2011 CR. They won’t insist on it for debt ceiling. They won’t require it as a no retreat position for 2012 budget. They don’t care.
Romney is going to be right on this, and the Tea Party will agree.
