Personification of Evil

[oldlib]

Last night on the news Lawrence O'Donnel had two US representatives on his show. They were Wymer for the Democratic Party and Mica for the Republican Party. The immediate response of Mica to O'Donnels questions were aggressive, following the GOP policy all the way. The expression Mica's face can only be described as evil, and it stayed with me throughout the night. He believes that the rich deserve a tax cut because they have the money and the power to create the jobs that are needed. He dismissed President Oboma as ineffective and a Socialist.

1. If people don't learn

to respond to the lie that tax cuts create jobs, how come Bush's tax cuts didn't work?

2. Everyone needs to ask them how many jobs

will be created, how many small businesses will be affected, and are they willing to guarantee that jobs will be created.
They will have no answer to these questions.

Call your congress people and ask them these questions.

3. Saw Pataki for the first time on Hardball yesterday

He looks fit the bill for 'look if evil' also.
Plus I had no idea how really, really stupid Pataki was. How did he ever get elected governor?

4. People need to ask them for proof of what they say.

Republicans are very good at claiming something to be so just cause they say it..There is zero evidence that what they say about tax cuts for the wealthy do what they say.. ZERO.. yet they are allowed to repeat over and over without anyone saying ..Bullshit..They all said the exact same thing when Clinton presented his first Budget that raised taxes on the wealthy.. They said in unison that it would completely destroy the american economy..They voted in lock-step against that budget, however democrats prevailed and the Budget was passed by Al Gore's tie breaking vote....America went on to experience the "Greatest Economic Expansion in History" putting the LIE to every thing Republicans had been spouting for months.. They are spouting the exact same LIES right now with absolutely ZERO evidence that anything they say is true...In fact all evidence over the last decade that those tax cuts have been in place shows the exact opposite.. They need to be called on it at every single opportunity.. If we don't then we have no one to blame but ourselves..
