It's a disgrace how many Republicans voted to put in the automatic defense cuts. How stupid did they have to be to think that Obama or the Democrats would ever agree to replace those with something else later?

The agreement, entitled the Budget Control Act,[1] passed the House on August 1, 2011 by a vote of 269–161; 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted for it, while 66 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted against it.[13]

The Senate passed the agreement on August 2, 2011 by a vote of 74–26; seven Democrats and 19 Republicans voted against it.[20]

Yea, it does make one question whether the REPUBLICANS even understand the importance of national defense. It’s clear that the Dems fear it.
