Stabbed in the back?

Rembember the Republican "Contract With America"? It seems that a lot of Republican Congressmen have forgotten. Link below; my emphasis.

"No vote is perhaps more emblematic of how the Republican majority has changed than the one former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) cast two weeks ago against a budget resolution offered by House conservatives that was as nearly identical as possible to the 1995 budget resolution.

Like the House GOP budget of ’95, the “Contract with America Renewed” budget proposed by conservatives this month sought to slash federal spending, place caps on Medicare payments, shift Medicaid payments to block grants and significantly restructure the Departments of Energy, Commerce and Education.

But unlike 11 years ago, when only one Republican voted against those proposals, 134 Republicans voted against them this time
