No matter what Boehner and the Republicans do, they will get all the blame for the damage to this economy and the markets from going off the cliff. Not even the slightest criticism will disturb the individual in the White House or his party.

These are dark times. Orwell would be in awe at the manipulation of reality here.

Not only Orwell. Joseph Goebbels would be awestruck also at how the White Hut clown has manipulated everything for the past 5 years, just freakn' unbelievable. Rush had a great show today about the "low information" voters (i.e. moron voters).

Don’t worry. Most people are busy on twitter and facebook, so they won’t notice. :)

The ONLY entity here that is in danger of going off a cliff is government. Government will go off the cliff if the debt ceiling is not raised. It is the ONLY issue that matters right now. Obama and the Dems are trying to scare everyone with this 'fiscal cliff' crap, but they are the only ones here in danger. Boehner needs to act accordingly and stick it to Obama and the Dems by holding fast and refusing to raise the ceiling. If he does that, then we automatically get $1.1 trillion in spending cuts immediately for the current fiscal year instead of some worthless promise that will be carried out a decade from now. Fiscal cliff? Bring it on! Let's start putting padlocks on entire departments and lay off some government workers for a change.

I agree with your analysis.

Unfortunately, the GOP's plans, with spending cuts 10 years away, are not much of an improvement.
