Yes to Bush Tax Cuts = DEATH of the Democratic Party
Someone needs to tell these Democrats that they need to be saying "No" to this crapola of extending the Bush tax cuts to the top 1-2 percent of the population.

Do I need to list all the other cave-in's by this Obama White House along with the other lackluster performances out of the Democratic controlled House and Senate the past four years as well?

Wake Up People!!! This is not a joke any longer. What is happening now, despite media claptrap, should not be compared with 1995 and Bill Clinton. The economic conditions in 2010 and going into 2011 are much more severe.

Tax cuts to the most wealthy of all Americans will not only increase the national debt, but you can also say Good-bye to public sector jobs and expect loads and loads of cuts which will put people out of work and end social programs which the poor and disabled rely upon.

Have at it folks.

And, I say, that a "Yes' to the Bush tax cuts does spell the Death of the Democratic Party. Because they will have just become the Republican Party at that very point in time.

1. Tell them yourself. Write the NYT or another big paper and tell
them all just exactly how you want them to act. Better yet, call the WH and tell them in person. Be sure to address the "cave-ins" and list them one by one. Give your name and tell them you speak for exactly one person....yourself.

2. The repukes will position it that they want to extend the bush tax cuts for everyone and
if the Dems try to stop it in order to get rid of the extension for the top 2 percent...they'll scream that Dems want to "raise your taxes!".
And they'll do it extremely well. The media will go along with it and the Dems will have no clue how to counter that message.
The Dems will probably be afraid to even try to stop the top 2 percent from keeping their cuts...so they'll just fold - like always - and say "we just didn't have the votes".
