Senate Republicans just voted to raise taxes all Americans.

This can't be good for any of their 2012 electoral hopes.

Let's just hope the Dems are smart enough to spin this in their favor.

1. Wasn't taxes the whole reason they were running to begin with?

2. No, they voted to raise taxes on ALL Americans

The Dems wanted to extend the tax cuts for those who make $200,000. People who make million or billions still would have gotten a tax cut....on the first 200,000 they earn. As Rachel Maddow has been saying, the GOP wanted an extra tax cut for the rich.

4. The lapdog corporate press has another 2 years to whitewash it.

5. No, that can't be right - MSNBC.com headline reads:

"Senate GOP blocks bill to let Bush-era tax cuts expire."

Of course, is SHOULD read: "Senate GOP blocks bill; to let Bush-era tax cuts expire." THAT would be honest.
