And they'll do it again in 2012, if they even think they are losing (or not getting an extra) single red cent.
These polls are clear, the seniors would cut everything else before they would take a single cut to themselves, and that "cut" will include the GOP if the rats make more of these insane promises.
They aren't going to vote for reality when it comes to entitlement reform, hell, they voted against dems because of the COLA issue, they'll vote those dems right back in again, if they don't get guaranteed every red cent...
