Move On Dot Org: Flaming Hypocrisy or Selective Amnesia?

"Got an email from Moooove On dot org this AM. And "Flaming Hypocrisy or Selective Amnesia" (or both) came to mind.

Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday the tea party-led House voted mostly along party lines to increase taxes on 160 million people starting January 1.1 In other words, "Happy Holidays from the Tea Party." Bah, humbug!

Republican members of the House have caused the "Tea Party Tax Increase" of 2012 by ignoring the needs of the 99% in order to score political points. They rejected a bipartisan Senate compromise that extended the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance, and prevented cuts for doctors who care for Medicare recipients.

Now they've left Washington for their holiday vacations, giving middle class families a tax increase for the holidays. It's critical that Rep. LaTourette hear from you today before his office closes for the holidays. If he doesn't act, the Tea Party Tax Increase of 2012 goes into effect on January 1."

When you know thw history of this bill and the FACTS surrounding its non-passage (The Republican House ORIGINATED the bill and passed it calling for ONE YEAR of tax cuts .... the DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED SENATE rejected that House one-year bill and reduced it to a ridiculous two months) you cannot help seeing the HORRIBLE HYPOCRISY of the Left's spin-meisters.
