Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) was taken to task by his constituents. At about 2:56 in the video, this from one of them:
CONSTITUENT: You guys are protecting your sacred cows. Your oil company subsidies, everybody understands that. Just take ‘em, they don’t need them. The tax cuts for the extremely wealthy, they’re doing great, they don’t need them. You can’t come to us and say, ‘We’re going to take your Medicare away because we don’t think it’s working for you.’ [...] That’s why your boys [Republican leadership] are walking out of the room. They say take these off the table. Tell Mr. Cantor to put them back on the table.
Those whines you hear are the sacred cows screaming.
[h/t Think Progress]
