There must have been a reason,


There was. The republicans went along to get along with the democrats on that one. It’s the “whipped dog” disease that affects all republicans once they reach DC.

“Those aren’t Obama tax increases; they’re the expiration of the Bush tax cuts”

What are you, a politician? Expiration of tax cuts are a tax hike. If Obama lets that happen or most likely tries with all his mihht to make it happen he raised taxes.

Romney was likely talking about the income tax rates anyway.

Once again, there is nothing rational about obama supporters.
I will give you an example, I talked to a guy who believes obama saved his daughter’s life (2011). He firmly believes that his daughter would be dead if the obamacare had not passed.
I tried to explain to him that the bill hadn’t taken effect, he said I was lying and would have been happy to see his daughter die. The girl was 22 at the time, not in college, and she was still on his policy.
It did not matter what I said or anyone else said, he believed obama saved her.
His statement was not rational.
obama supporters are not rational beings.

I think he was specifically referring to the repeal of the “Bush tax cuts.”

With the complicity of the RAT controlled senate, he is allowing the “Bush” tax cuts to expire. That is a massive tax increase on everyone who pays taxes.

C’mon, Governor Romney, tell it like it is!

...Lord, do we need a fighter right now.

Sad to say, "they" found a way to encourage her to stay on the sidelines.

What about the White Folk Tax aka tax on indoor tanning?

Exactly...And I know that I had an income tax increase since Obama has been sleeping in the White House...

What mystifies me is that Romney couldn't beat McCain who couldn't beat Obama...Yet many FReepers have some weird notion that Romney somehow can beat Obama...

It's a race to the bottom and we can't possibly lose...

Is Romney going to suspend his campaign next?

That would mean going to either a flat tax or consumer tax, which I don’t see happening.

“Our” (not mine) candidates just don’t know how NOT to say. Yes, it’s true about the 47%, it may be true about taxes (but see #18), it may be true about “legitimate rape”, why do these doofi have to say it?

“OBAMA RAISED TAXES ON TOBACCO!”

I got a feeling that’s not going to be a very effective rallying cry.

Look, I admit that Romney doesn’t know how to do a rallying cry, but even if he did the media would muffle it, and he’s not Newt who knows how to put the media on the run.

For me (as I believe it’s true for most freepers) the rallying cry is “GET THIS INCOMPETENT, ANTI-AMERICAN, MISTAKE-OF-A-PRESIDENT OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE”, so I don’t need any more rallying.

Let’s hope that Mitt’s genteel demeanor wins some of the votes in the squishy, undecided middle.

What is so funny?

Believing that taxes won't go up if Romney wins.
