OK, so I looked an found the two places the report mentions Republicans.  Here they are, in context

"Republicans and Democrats have only been able to agree to relatively modest savings on
discretionary spending while delegating to the Select Committee decisions on more comprehensive measures"

"Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act."

Please read the quote carefully, especially the part that says "a position we believe Congress (emphasis added) reinforced by passing the act."  Last time I checked Congress consists of the House and the Senate, only one of which is controlled by the Republican party.    So basically they revised these projections for something that won't happen for almost a year and a half. 

I still maintain that we shouldn't raise taxes to pay for the Democratic Congress' intransigencies as they try to buy votes with their entitlement programs.
