1. There is something about the tax cuts that we should not forget.
They were passed because some Democrats voted for them. If I remember correctly, Reagan had a Democrat majority in congress. I wonder how many Democrats are still in favor of tax cuts for the rich and famous.

2. Dem doesn't equate to progressive. Just ask Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln. nt

5. And many of those same Democrats are still in office blocking Obama's
more progressive proposals.

3. Someone wanna tell me where in the country you find an even split between Parties?
The poll can not be random; there is no place in the country that has a distribution of potential voters that looks like that - and that means someone sorted the input, which means the poll is worthless.
