The perfect opportunity to put the squeeze on the Most Equal Comrade

Great Charles Krauthammer column in the WaPo this morning on how the Pubs should do exactly nothing regarding the MEC's call for a short-term fix to avert the March 1 sequestration.

Yes, the tax increases agreed to last month were bad and wrong. Yes, the cuts in the sequestration would be bad and wrong - a meat-axe approach to the domestic side and a danger to our national security on the defense side.  But it's exactly the spot on which to stand on principle.  They can sy, "Damn it, you got tax increases last month.  No more.  This one is all about spending cuts, whether they result from a deal, or from the automatic sequestration.  Your call, m-----------."
