TO: Tea Partied Republican Congressional Lawmakers

[Pistarkle]

WE are looking forward to your “Yeah” vote to EXTEND President Obama’s payroll tax cuts for the working class this week. The word is out that you are, SERIOUSLY, thinking about voting AGAINST the cuts due to concerns(?) about whether or not there is a funding source. WE know that you’re just ‘pulling our legs’ on that issue, particularly since you’re NOT concerned about extending NON FUNDED Bush tax cuts for the wealthy which will ADD $424 billion dollars to the deficit!

One more thing -remember that pledge you signed for Grover? Signing a statement to “not raise ANY taxes” includes ANYbody!

LOL!

1. The payroll tax cuts are a bad idea in my opinion

2. They are, but that's beside the point

Actually, the payroll tax cut bill COULD signal the end of the Republican Party as we know it. The baggers are more than happy to tell you that any tax increase is a bad thing, but they're preparing to increase taxes, directly, and on their base.

If the Democrats still remember how to campaign, and I think they do, it's possible to completely clean out the House and Senate Republican Caucuses with this one vote--just run saturation ads claiming "Representative (your repuke rep) VOTED TO RAISE YOUR TAXES. YOURS!"
