Luke Russert pimping hard for the R's on MSNBC how not voting to extend Bush tax cuts will hurt Dems

[flpoljunkie]

Does Luke just swallow whole what they email him--and then run to repeat it?

1. I really dislike that cretin...

I didn't care a whole lot for Timmy, but at least he knew something from time and experience in the job. Uggh, I hate these legacy kids being handed these jobs.

2. But DUers are posting the exact same thing

3. Honestly I don't get the argument. More Republican logic. It makes the "tax cuts" front and center

in the campaign. Republicans are going to have to explain why they want to add to the deficit.

(on the other hand Durbin says that after the election there are some Republican votes for extending the tax cuts for the middle class while letting the rich people cut expire).

"Durbin, the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program yesterday that “some Republicans” will also vote to keep lower taxes for only low- and middle-income taxpayers, as President Barack Obama proposes."

4. If they had held a vote on the tax cuts

He'd be howling about how voting on the tax cut extension will hurt Dems.

My solution - don't listen to asswipes like Li'l Russ.

Better yet - turn off the fuckin TV.

5. It shouldn't, but

something tells me that the Democrats will, once again, drop the ball and fail to spin it well.
