Rush was talking about this today. It's all a matter of context. He said "revenues" are considered by these letter signers as the kind of increased revenue that result from tax cuts, which have always been known to boost the economy.

Rush says it is the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms who continue to mischaracterize what the Republicans want when they talk about increased revenues. I'm not sure I'm buying, but it's up to the Republicans to reassure people and explain precisely what they mean by "revenues".

Tax hikes would be party suicide and they all know it.

That what it ‘could’ be in the theoretical sense, but that letter was drafted by a Democrat who is pushing for tax increases and doesn’t say at all anything about raising revenues by cutting taxes. A majority of the signers are those who are calling for increases in taxes.

There is a Saturday morning local radio talk show host who passes himself off as moderate, when he is clearly a “progressive.” He was discussing this this morning with someone, I didn’t catch the name, but another progressive. They came to the conclusion that it is the “evil” Tea party backed representatives who are holding the super committee hostage, refusing to raise “revenue”, as they put it. Clearly the lib strategy for 2012 is to portray conservative Tea party reps as the cause of all problems....
