I’m guessing libs around the country will be wetting their beds tonight at the thought of these evil Tea Partiers taking over the Senate and (gasp) lowering taxes!
Via Fox News:
. . .I’ve had a front-row seat to watch the Tea Party take over the Republican Party. For three and a half years, they wouldn’t govern. They couldn’t lead. And we shouldn’t let them take over the Senate and the White House.
We must stop the Tea Party before the United States Senate falls into the hands of extremists and ideologues who leave no room for reason or compromise, who don’t recognize common ground even when they’re standing on it. […]
We learned that he pays a lower tax rate than middle-class families. We learned he chose Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island tax shelters over American institutions. And we can only imagine what new secrets would be revealed if he showed the American people a dozen years of tax returns, like his father did.
Mitt Romney says we should take his word that he paid his fair share. His word? His word? Trust comes from transparency, and Mitt Romney comes up short on both. This is about more than just a piece of paper. This isn’t personal. This is about leveling with the American people and creating a level playing field for them.
If we don’t know how Mitt Romney would benefit from the policies he proposes, how can we know if he’s looking out for us or just himself? The American people are still asking, “Who is Mitt Romney?” But the American people know Barack Obama. He is the leader who says we should, we can, we will. He is the leader who doesn’t search for the easy path for himself, but takes the right one for us.
This nation has been through hard times. But those hard times have hardened our resolve. I’m ready to do the difficult work ahead. But I want to do that work with Barack Obama, and not a Tea Party ideologue. We can move America forward, but we can only do it together.
