Will The GOP Pay A Price For Being Dicks?

The mask comes off.

Let's recap, shall we?

The Speaker of the House and other members of the GOP House leadership have:

- Walked out of meetings with the President of the United States
- Refused to meet with the POTUS
- Refused to attend state dinners
- Refused to allow the POTUS to address a joint session of Congress when he asked to

The Senate GOP has refused just about every post that the President has nominated someone for.

And now you have a Teatard congressman refusing to go to the address on Thursday.

As a reader at TPM noted, this does resonate with African Americans, because they see the GOP behaving in ways towards the first African American president that are really unprecedented.  Since I am not black, I only saw petulant whininess combined with political gamesmanship.

But most undecided voters are also not African American.  The GOP's scorched earth tactics have clearly been gamed out by them: Oppose everything, make Obama look weak at every turn, give him no accomplishments even if that means hurting the economy.

The GOP is clearly banking on America's political ADD and the inability of the press to report uncomfortable truths as truths (as opposed to he said/she said).

This is clearly the emerging gambit of 2012: will the GOP use legislative nihilism to regain control of the American government.
