The latest GOP trap is to tell the President he needs to“lead” on cutting entitlements:
by this they mean,“You jump off the cliff first, and we’ll be right behind you.” (Uh-huh)

Shocking Moderation

..............

Are these Republicans sounding like Democrats, or simply like decent human beings not blinded by hateful ideological rhetoric?

...Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a centrist Republican who faces a tough reelection in 2012, has balked at the House Republican plan to cut $390 million in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

“Programs like LIHEAP that people need, there are other things we can cut before we cut things for people who need it the most,” Brown said.

...........................

Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), another candidate for reelection in 2012, has long supported nutrition programs for low-income women and children.

He is skeptical of a House proposal to cut $747 million from the supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children.

“That would appear to me to be unwise,” Lugar said.
