		<description>Great letter. You&#039;ll probably get the same response I get everytime I call my (Republican) Senators on the days of critical votes. Polite silence, or, in your case since you wrote, a form letter response!  They&#039;ve got their agenda, after all, dictated from much higher up in the party, and they&#039;re all goose-stepping to the beat.

		<description>I am drinking so can&#039;t get into a political discussion. However, I will say: THEY are the ones who first called themselves Tea Baggers. They can&#039;t just distance themselves from that by saying Tea Partiers over and over again. They&#039;ll always be Tea Baggers to me. It&#039;s too humorous to ignore. &gt;clink&lt;</description>

		<description>I have said for years: Republicans are so much better at the word game. Need to demonize the other side? Find an issue people assume they would support, and come out against it before it&#039;s actually even proposed.  Loudly. Complain and yell and refuse to be a part of their nonsense! Before they&#039;ve even thought of the nonsense.
It&#039;s all P.R. And they are MASTERS. How did the Dems fail so miserably to ever have a progressive version of Karl Rove? Find an issue  and make it an issue, a huge issue, before the GOP thinks to.
Nope. We&#039;ll be over here simpering and cowering in our majority and doing almost nothing because we don&#039;t want to step on toes.

		<description>I had no idea what a VAT was so I just researched it and while I don&#039;t understand how it works (I was an English major for obvious reasons) it appears to me that while it may cost the consumer more to buy something, it also seems to benefit business--big AND small.  Aren&#039;t small businesses in particular the group that the Republicans were so concerned about, that they&#039;d go bankrupt with the healthcare reform?  So to my mind, which admittedly isn&#039;t the mind of financial geniuses John McCain or Sarah Palin or your Congressman, it seems that this would be a tax they&#039;d be ok with.    Oh, I just crack myself up sometimes</description>
