It doesnt look like its playing out that way so far, on FNC F+F they played a clip of O admitting yesterday that most Americans wont notice this, said ‘only the vulnerable few’ and listed some. He is seeing polls that show that few care about this. They like Obama better than GOP still, but few understand or care about this.
Then they played the back to back clips of O campaigning around the country ‘against’ end-of-world Sequester-geden.
My only take is that if the sequester happens, my perceptions of the two sides doesn’t really change much. But if the R’s cave, the mask is off. They really are just D-lite. In fact, it will be worse than that. It will re-enforce the theories that we are all just pawns in their game and the “trilateral commissionists” and other conspiracy people will be proven right. The parties will be exposed as a facade with little real influence. Pawns of those who really do hold the power. And I don’t mean in the “to some degree it has always been true” way. I mean in this way:
