And neither does the gop.
Walden call to arms lasted a whole news cycle before the gop made him stfu, right? Didn't you ever wonder why the gop would pass on such a vote stealing gift?
Might it be that any such claim by republicans only put them in a worst non-compromise light. Their reason for NOT going into conference to reconcile the House and Senate budget proposals is because "
President) Obama hasn't touched entitlements" {J.Boehner/M.McConnel} and " Pressident) Obama proposal only tinkers with the (SS) formula." {P.Ryan just being a prick}
Even the rightisher side of cohort knows Walden's statement and the three stooge's statements cannot coexist in the same universe ... CCPI can't be "a shocking attack on seniors" AND "a (non-)touching of entitlements" that is "only a tinkering with the formula."
And why don't they want to go to conference? ... because when they fail to reconcile the two budgets, each item IN the budgets can be called to a vote.
And why is that a HUGE gop problem (and not a Democrat problem)? ... It'll force the gop to go on the record ... a yes on CCPI and Democrats attack from where they are, in voting NO, and use Walden's voice in the ads. A No on CCPI and they face a primary fight.
