The Plumline: The NRCC's Response to the Dem's punting on voting for middle class tax cut extension

[flpoljunkie]

* You couldn't ask for clearer proof than this of the folly of the Dems' apparent decision to punt on the middle class tax cut extension until after Election Day. Here's the response to the news from the NRCC spokesman Paul Lindsay:

"Americans are opposed to raising taxes on anyone in this struggling economy, but it seems Democrat leaders in Washington are the only ones who have yet to receive that message. By refusing to address this issue, vulnerable House Democrats can now add the Obama tax hike on small businesses to the long litany of job-killing policies they will be forced to defend between now and Election Day."

Get it, vulnerable Dems? You're getting called tax hikers anyway! No one could have predicted that one.

* By the way, the middle class tax cut vote is not completely dead in the House, I'm told. Discussions still underway, but it seems very, very unlikely.
