The Republican party, as long as I can remember, has been the party of smear tactics and identity politics. But now it's becoming clear that they will say anything--even if they don't believe it--if they can score attack points.
In a letter to the California State Franchise Tax Board, the MNGOP's chairman/pit-bull Ron Carey writes:
I write this letter as a concerned citizen of the United States who believes that every American has an obligation to pay his or her fair share of taxes.
Excuse me? Since when does the Republican party give a lick about tax fairness? Let's review, shall we? They didn't care about tax fairness when they cut taxes for the rich and transferred the responsibility for important services to the middle class. They didn't care about tax fairness when they slashed Local Government Aid and forced up your property taxes. and they don't even care about tax fairness right now--they're trying to raid a dedicated fund for healthcare.
Bottom line: the MNGOP doesn't care about tax fairness and they never have. In fact, they would like nothing more than to turn the system upside down and give millionaires like Franken some more tax cuts at our expense. But that still hasn't stopped them from exploiting any opportunity for partisan attacks.
In the interests of full disclosure, I'm not a Franken supporter. I don't really care if the GOP wants to attack Franken--but how about having a bit of intellectual honesty?
