		<description><![CDATA[1. The current crop of GOP leaders haven&#039;t got the ability to drive a deal, or communicate with their public

2. This deal is already law

3. Whether or not the cuts happen, the GOP will get blasted by the MSM, so they might as well take  advantage of the last deal they will ever get with Obama&#039;s signature on it

4. If the current crop of GOP leaders brokers a different deal with Lobama, guaranteed it will anger the base. Not worth it.

The two parties are already working together to force amnesty

How fast does the GOP want to die?

If amnesty goes through, the GOP ain&#039;t getting the base back. It won&#039;t matter about sequester

If amnesty does not go through, the GOP has a chance in the next election cycle. Their biggest problem is the almost complete breakdown of trust with the base. Lib voters arent going to vote republicans into Congress. It still takes the base, Rove to the contrary. Listen to the Kraut]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The Republicans have offered no concessions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But specifically, they have offered alternatives, including a bill in the last House that detailed how to make the cuts without making the soldiers pay (Pannetta says they will take it out of military paychecks, idiot,) or hurting future defense cutting equipment for the future.

President Obama had a deadline of Sept. 14th to detail how he would make the cuts, he missed it.

President Obama told Mitt Romney there would be no need for lay off notices for defense contractors Before the Election, and gave them exemptions not to send them out...as required by law...he said there would not be any layoffs.]]></description>
