GOP blame game self-destructs

2. "But what I don’t think anyone has pointed out is what’s really wrong with this talking point:"

But what I don’t think anyone has pointed out is what’s really wrong with this talking point: It actively undermines any current negotiations. Again.

I'm not sure that this is what is "wrong" with the talking point in Republican eyes. After all, they don't want to negotiate. If anybody thinks otherwise after so many years, they are self delusional. Undermining the negotiations is exactly what they're trying to do.

The Republicans are in full 'my way or highway' mode and are willing, some might say eager, to crash the economy to prove their point. After all, crashing the economy would, in their minds at least, validate their belief that Obama's economic policies don't work. Right now, their biggest concern is that there are signs of recovery out there that they must squelch in order to prove their point.
