In theory, the Republican Party unites behind a banner of tax & spending cuts. But when it comes to practice, the latest Maris-McClatchy poll suggests that Republican voters aren't even willing to accept the consequences of tough governing decisions. Here's a look at some things Republican voters oppose:
By 47-37, letting the Obama payroll tax cut expire.By 68-26, cutting spending for Medicare.
By 61-33, cutting spending for Medicaid.
By 66-28, eliminating the tax deduction for home mortgage interest.
By 72-25, eliminating the charitable tax deduction.
By 56-44, raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67.
