Sorry, but the GOP is going to have to own this shutdown rather than sluff it off to the Democrats.
The first person to try this was Cruz, and he got enough of his teabagger friends in the House to buy off on it, which is why Boehner is saddled with the shutdown.
Like I've said before, 2014 is going to be interesting, especially when the people (who are capable of Google and internet access) find out it was the GOP that tried to stop the ACA (also known as Obamacare) as well as were the group that shut down the government.
I've seen many pissed off people today, and many of them are military veterans. They're not pissed at the Dems for Obamacare, they're pissed at the GOP for shutting down the government.
I'm one of those who are pissed at the GOP by the way.
