Yep, they are bringing out that hoary old bogeyman, the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY!!!

And guess what, the idiot American people will start repeating it and we will be one step closer to Banana Republic status and to be just another failed Empire only with not so much of the glory and a whole lot of the macho crap that goes along with international swinging dicks...

7. I don't think they do, polichick. They believe what they're told which
is why WE have to get our message/truth out there. I'm not sure how to do it, though, since so many of them only watch Fox and we know they're not going to tell them.

26. I wish. Sadly this particular piece of BS works for them again and again.
A lot of the Crossroads and Chamber of Commerce Lie Ads used that nonsense or a variation of it. DEMS WANT TO RAISE YOUR TAXES!!!

11. You need to check your short term memory
if you think Obama is the worst President ever.

There are Doctors that can help you with that.

16. Little jumpy there fella.
Obviously I meant Bush, the man who is responsible for his stupid tax cuts expiring this year.

The expiring cuts have NOTHING to do with Obama or Democrats.

22. For a very simple reason, dear grunt:
They truly believed in the Permanent Republican Majority. They got lots of positive press for Shrub's "largest tax cut in history," so their thinking was, in ten years when we make this just a TINY bit bigger, 'largest tax cut in history' stories will be in all the newspapers again.

Unfortunately, the Republican president they had left office with an approval rating so low even Shrub's base was turning against him, and a Democrat got into the White House.
