Even some Democrats has been fooled into thinking that eliminating the tax cuts is 'raising taxes'. If they are that far off in their thinking, it is questionable in my mind as to whether they should be re-elected.
After all, there has been enough talk about eliminating the tax cuts for the good of the overall budget and to take some of the pressure off the poor so that basic programs they need won't get eliminated.
Are there Democrats who are that unintelligent or are they being paid off in promises by the ones who are buying the Republicans. Does anyone know whether Democrats are in office who have also signed the Grover Norquist pledge for no raising taxes? (Norquist is the equivalent of the Sheriff of Nottingham.) If Democrats habe joined int he signing, they should be fingered.
What happened to the people who used to run for the House and Senate because they wanted to of help to the people? When did there stop being 'people' beyond the Legislature? There really is a world out there, don't they remember that?
Katharine Q Seelye has written an article for THE CAUCUS which indicates that polls show that Romney appears to be losing Massachusetts to President Obama. That should not be a surprise to many who were here during his tenure in Massachusetts and listen to his values today. His brain today does not seem to be the one he was using here.as Governor.

The legendary Robin Hood protested against the high taxes levied by King John and collected by the Sheriff of Nottingham. It is hard to imagine Grover Norquist in the role of the Sheriff.
Hillary Clinton correctly identified our unsustainable deficit spending as the greatest threat to this nation. Blogger Iowa Hawk has run the numbers to show the impossibility of closing the budget gap with taxes alone:

The harsh reality is that federal spending will be significantly reduced in the near future. Our choice is whether we do it now, on our terms, or whether we wait and let our creditors do it on their terms.
