You betcha.
The mission of the RNC is to keep the rubes in line. For this reason, it has been occasionally in their interest to slow the process, hence they seem to "oppose" when their position really comes down to a question of pace.

I’m disappointed in the startlingly weak budget “cuts.”
Republicans: “Let’s cut the budget by 1/3 of a penny on the dollar.”
Dems: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That’s much too much..what about the CHILDREN! (In Dr Smith’s voice: ‘O, the pain!’)”
Republicans: “Well, we can see that the pain is too painful, so let’s have a bipartisan cut of 1/6 of a penny on the dollar and we’ll both be liked, my brothers from across the aisle.”
Dems: “NOOOOOOOOOOO!! Grandmas will have to eat catfood. The most we could cut is maybe 1/12th of a penny on the dollar, you know, a few hours worth of govt spending. And that is vicious!”
I say, why not cut the Fed budget by HALF like they did in the early 1920’s?
They did it before, we can do it again.
