In reply to the discussion: Some of my Republican friends/family are getting afraid to vote for Romney [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)It is this simple: just last week, every single Republican in the Senate voted against an extension of the middle class tax cuts.
They did it because they don't give a shit about your friends and their problems. They held your friends' tax cuts hostage so that rich people could get their tax cuts, because that's all the GOP cares about. That might be a good time to mention that it is looking like Romney paid no taxes at all for ten years.
President Obama wants an extension for the middle class, but only if the cuts for the rich expire, and he's the person with the final decision in all this.
The Republicans will block an extension for the middle class until they are voted out.
Now, one thing every one of your Republican friends loves is money for nothing. They can generate up to $3000 next year by simply toeing Grover Norquist's line and voting out every single Republican who blocked the middle class cuts--which was all of them.
Or, they can stay home that day, let us Democrats do all the heavy lifting like we always do, and pay themselves the following Spring.
Do you know any Republicans who wouldn't take money for doing nothing? Any at all?
Then tell them.
