Larry Kudlow hits this one right on. Obama and the Democrats are looking to destroy the Republican Party. Unfortunately Republicans seem to be playing right into Obama's strategy. The Republican Party (Tea Party included) lacks leadership and seems to have no idea of how to present alternatives to the Obama agenda.
Obama is interested in busting the GOP in 2014. He’s not interested in true budget restraint or other economic-growth measures.
Finally, while Obama again may occasionally say otherwise, the Democratic party opposes all manner of entitlement reforms. All. That includes the chain-CPI reform (which would lower benefits), Medicare means testing, longer retirement eligibility, and higher co-pays for federal-employee benefits.
Republicans had no coherent message going into the shutdown fiasco. But they can change that. They can now adopt a clear policy that maintains the sequester budget caps, pushes hard for pro-growth tax reform, and makes no apologies for rolling back the taxing, spending, mandating, budget-busting behemoth that is Obamacare.
