I'm delighted they did. They will give the dems a truckload of sound bites when these fascists have to defend voting to cut medicare and refusing to tax millionaires.

It already cost them one long time republican seat in NY. Let's hope it costs them many many more.

Quote:A McClatchy-Marist poll released yesterday found a whopping 80% of the country opposes cutting Medicare or Medicaid as part of a deficit-reduction plan. Even among self-described conservatives, 69% want Congress to leave Medicare and Medicaid alone. What's more, by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, Americans also support raising taxes on the wealthy. What Americans want, in other words, is the opposite of what Republicans are offering.
