Meet the four Democratic Senators who are so worried about their own reelection campaigns that they are refusing to raise taxes on the wealthy.

Yesterday, I wrote an article based on Sen. Dick Durbin telling a local Chicago radio station that some Democrats in the Senate are refusing to raise taxes on the wealthy in an election year. At the time of publication, I didn’t have the names of the Democrats who won’t raise taxes on the rich, but I do now.

Lots of commenters wanted the names and contact information for the Un-Fantastic Four, so here they are.

1). Sen. Bob Casey -Email Twitter

2). Sen. Mary Landrieu- Email

3). Sen. Kay Hagan- Email Twitter

4). Sen. Joe Manchin- Email Twitter

1. Casey? How disappointing.

I didn't expect him to be a flaming liberal but I certainly didn't expect him to be an enemy of the People. He'll be getting an earful from me.

[Warpy]

5. I told DU he was an antichoice loon and likely to be conservative

on many other issues, besides, not much of a replacement for a GOP turned Democrat.

[neverforget]

2. The always helpful to the Republicans conservadems

We need to take the money out of politics.

[pnorman]

3. I cut much slack for some Blue Dogs in Red states,

much to the dismay of some purists here. But that's going way too far!

[Supersedeas]

4. Kay Hagan and Mary Landrieu are at most just DINOS

[JDPriestly]

10. Landrieu is very troubling. She is from a state so poor that it takes

more money from the federal government than it pays in taxes. And there are many, many poor people in Louisiana. Landrieu is biting the hand that feeds her. She should vote for higher taxes for the very wealthy who mostly live in states in the Northeast, in New York, Texas and California.

6. 6 weeks from now, it will be all twisted around to be Obama's fault

...because he had a majority, he had the numbers, he had the votes...ad nauseum.

7. DINOS

These four Senators lack any sense of what it is to be Democrats. The only good thing to say at least they are not Republicnas who would make Mitch the Majority leader.

8. I'm surprised Ben Nelson isn't on the list.

He's more right wing than Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are, and they're Repukes.

9. Me, too, but he still has time to weigh in. nt

11. If they needed him there,

...he would be there.
There are more than just these four that are The PROBLEM.
For these four, it was just their turn to Take One for The TEAM.

I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
