If Republican Supporting Democrats Remove Make Work Pay from the Budget - the Party loses.
The junta of NeoCon Democrats who ware working to "reshape" the budget of the President by removing key election promises must remember one thing. The tax cuts for 95% of Americans was a clear election promise that must be delivered on. The Republican Party will not thank NeoCon Democrats like Bayh for removing this from the budget. They will not push the nuance of "moderate" Democrats (versus what??). They will use it to crucify the President, the Democratic House and Senate. Most importantly the Republicans will also go after them.

If they remove key election planks from the budget - it will be the President and the Democratic Party that have broken promises to the electorate.

To the NeoCon Dems. The Primaries are over. The Leader and President has been elected. It is your job to deliver that programme.

2. In Part;
much reduced and temporary. The Republican Democratic Senators argued that the budget was the proper place for these on a longer term basis. So what do they do? Cut them out of the budget.

3. It is my understanding that the taxes delivered in the stimulus will be
taken away in 2 years. Thanks to Conservative Democrats.

In other words, they get a taxcut for 2years and then it
is taken away.

I agree the tax cut was such a blatant promise. The Party's
credibility is on the line.

4. The Republican supporting Democrats will not be thanked for it either.
Did Kay Hagan have a soft campaign against her because she wasa Republican Democrat? No Dole ran a campaign suggesting she was a godless extremist.

The GOP will not go easy on Republican Democrats.
