Many GOP members to Vote on Replacing Defense Cuts

Many of the same Conservatives that voted against the debt ceiling hike are going to be voting to restore $75 billion in defense funds that were carved out as "savings," on the GOP side during that debate. This flies in the face of the "budge hawk," image the a lot of these M.C.s potrayed in order to get elected in the mid-term. It will be interesting to see if constituents see through this at all and begin to punish them for reneging.
