Exactly my point. My post wasn't about the policies they are trying to push to the forefront, it was about what, if any, public image issues may come out of these actions.

Piscator is right that most voters probably don't take the time to educate themselves on pressing topics, and it's exactly those people I have in mind when it comes to the possible ramifications to the GOPs public image.

People on the Right are immediately going to support the actions stating something along the lines of how the tax cuts will help the economy and we need to set the budget. People on the Left are going to say, "There go the Republicans being obstructionists again."

But what are the people truly in the Middle going to think?
