Filtherton: Of course they do. However, I don't believe they do so any more than the democrats pander the "Free shit for everyone" platform.
For instance: There is no possible way Obama can fund healthcare for everyone without taking more money out of my pocket and giving it to someone else in the form of health benefits. All those social programs and tax cuts for those people who just need a hand? More money out of my pocket. Want to raise taxes on corporations? Guess who the buck gets passed to: Me, the consumer which means more money out of my pocket. The republicans are bad also, but by putting one party in charge of the whole government you are giving them a blank checkbook with very little preventing them from declaring "free bread and circuses for everyone!"
