The Hill: Two House Democrats in tough re-election races are asking Congress and President Barack Obama to extend the Bush administration tax cuts. Reps. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.) and Mike McMahon (D-N.Y.) asked members in a “Dear Colleague” letter Thursday to support extending the tax cuts, which passed in 2001 and 2003 and are set to expire this year, for at least another two years. Specifically, Bright and McMahon are asking lawmakers to sign a letter to Obama asking him to include the tax cuts in his budget plans for 2010.

Okay, if this isn't the Dems reading the writing on the wall, I don't know what is! Incredible!

[pillut48]

My beeber was so stuned by this that I forgot to mention I found the video on Breitbart!

You KNOW that’s NOT going to happen!

I wish no ill upon any creature but I do enjoy watching these Dim RATS squirm.

We need to get a list of all the Democrats who condemned the Bush tax cuts as “tax cuts for the rich”.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

They’re all vulnerable Dems, now.

[YankeeReb]

So why aren’t more Republicans calling for the same thing? While they’re at it why not calling for cuts on the spending side of the equation?

Guess wich republican opposed the Bush tax cuts claiming it was for the rich ?

• McCain’s Opposition to the 2001 and 2003 Bush Tax Cuts: McCain aligned with liberal heavyweights like Ted Kennedy in his opposition to the tax cuts.

Oh my??? Does this mean PELOSI isn’t queen witch anymore?
Most of all, DO NOT vote for these turncoats regardless of what they are doing now. They did not listen until the People in MASS spoke....they have not changed...they’re scared of losing their jobs. FIRE THEM ALL!!!

It would be nice to see Republicans acting like Republicans for a change. But then, if they did, we probably wouldn’t have had to have tea parties.

[Common Sense 101]

Kind of confirms what anyone with a brain already knew... Demonrats work every day to harm America until such time that their ability to continue that behavior is threatened.

2 House Democrats out of 256. A real barnburner.

[freeangel]

Isn’t that sweet? Where were they before last Tuesday?

[lookout88]

I will happy to pay more to see them destruct. Don’t repeal it

[GreyFriar]

pin hole leaks can cause a ship to sink, or flood your basement when the pipe bursts.

[LALALAW]

Better: Repeal the Democrat Tax Increase!

[pillut48]

...or kill you in a spacesuit, LOL.

Writing on the wall, people—America has been telling you from the start to STOP DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY! Glad some of them are finally hearing the call.

Except for the 3 Stooges (Obama, Reid, Pelosi)—are they really that dense? Stupid? Or did they sell their souls to the devil for all their power and now they realize they have to put up or shut up?
LOL.

If it hadn’t been for guys like McCain, Bush probably could have made the tax cuts permanent. As it was, he had to compromise on that in order to get the bill passed.

Thanks, Juan.

FWIW, Bush was LOUSY on spending and on controlling congressional pork. But he was good on taxes. Most tax cuts prove to be illusory when you go to fill out your forms. The Reagan and Bush tax cuts were real.

Elections have consequences...even for RATS!
