This is bait. Dems are PRAYING that Tea Party types take the bait and overextend the Republicans. Not only would it lead to losses in winnable House districts for the GOP, but it would set the stage for something all progressives should be working for; reopening the law to add premium inflation caps, take away the individual mandate, and add an effective medicare premium buy-in option.
