The big debt limit vote in Congress, it is increasingly obvious, is just
an appetizer for the divisive, voter-alienating struggles it has built
into the schedule at key points during the 2012 presidential campaign,
making an eventual GOP presidential nominee's efforts to "pivot to the
center" an athletic feat, at best. And as Tea Party activists and other
conservatives have made clear in their reactions to the deal just signed,
their efforts to force everyone in the GOP to join in future
hostage-taking exercises aimed at middle-class entitlements and other
targets beloved of voters have just begun.
.
Indeed, this week's agreement didn't really kick the can that far down the
road. In September, after the field has finally filled out and been
winnowed in Ames, congressional conservatives will be engaged in a savage
fight to cut domestic appropriations complete, no doubt, with government
shutdown threats below the levels spelled out in the debt limit deal.
Another provision of the deal requires that when the current "temporary"
debt limit is reached, probably around the end of September, the president
must request another increase in the limit, which will lead to a
"disapproval" vote in Congress and, if it passes, a presidential veto and
a veto override vote (all just Kabuki theater, but a noisy and divisive
exercise nonetheless). Soon after that, an even bigger battle over the
"debt committee" recommendations, and the fallback automatic spending cuts
that will be triggered in their stead, will break out, culminating in
December when the candidates competing in the early primary states will be
in a full-on teeth-grinding frenzy for votes. Both these fights will
inevitably involve trade-offs between entitlement cuts, defense spending
cuts, and tax increases that divide the GOP and the country, and they
will force candidates to choose again and again between the views of Tea
Party activists including early primary-state Big Dogs like Jim DeMint
and the general public.
