Raise our taxes and the Republican party is dead.
The Republican party's been dead for a while. The selection and anointment of Romney, from even before the primaries, is proof of that.
Romney embodies nearly the absence of everything in the Republican Party's stated planks. He's not honest, he implemented socialized healthcare, he signed in a weapons ban, he brought about homosexual marriage [domestic partnerships], he appoints extreme liberal and activist judges, he is pro-abortion [his conversion is, as revealed by actions such as judge appointments, a lie].
