How do they cave? raise those taxes by cutting the loopholes/deductions? It doesnt seem likely at all. McCain and Grahamnesty dont even have the guts to suggest it anymore(they did at least once).
I am more concerned about them passing the Senate's VAWA in the near term and eventually amnesty if the Senate actually passes a bill. .
The 2011 debt limit fight and the tax fight were lost simply because the a large majority of voters were upset about it and blamed the GOP.
They lost the PR war that Obama waged. They have to get elected after all.
But in this case few are paying attention. Plus, how many times will O 'crying wolf' work?
It doesnt seem likely at all.
That is actually my point. There is no logical or political reason for them to cave. It has become highly unlikely. But if they do, the mask will be completely and utterly removed. If they don’t cave, there may still be a mask, but it will remain in place.
I’m just saying that if they cave, all doubt will be removed about who’s side the R’s are really on. They will be exposed as a “double agent” for all to see. It’s why I think it is unlikely.
