Meme, because it makes the corporate media look objective when all it really does is give Republicans a free pass. When Republicans oppose positions that even they embraced in order to torpedo any deal, then it becomes clear that Republicans have jumped the shark. It would be like Democrats voting against a Single Payer Plan supported by Dubya merely because they hate him so much.
