ilex_cassineI am horrified by the capitulation happening amongst the Dems. The Bush tax cuts need to expire. Especially for the top 1%. I emailed my reps about it, and got a very tone deaf form letter (the form letter wasn't the problem, it was the tone deaf part) from Sen. Kay Hagen, her letter basically said "I know taxes are bad and will work to reduce them" oy oh boy. I rather expect my fellow constituents writing her are not the brightest bulbs if she feels she has to pander to the no taxes crowd.
Wil Wheaton tweeted this today, and I agree: I wish President Obama would get as upset with obstructionist Republicans as he does with disappointed Democrats.
The Republicans need to be made to fight. I want Obama to make them take the heat for failing to pass the unemployment extension. There needs to be a fight, not constant one-sided capitulation.
