Republicans Filibuster Tax Cuts

Every Democrat everywhere ought to be repeating the above headline over and over and over.

Senate Republicans today successfully filibustered two Democratic tax cut bills that would have allowed Bush-era tax cuts benefiting only the wealthiest sliver of the country to expire.

The Republicans filibustered tax cuts. The Republicans filibustered tax cuts. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Adding... Oh good.

Sens. Jim Webb (D-VA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Russ Feingold (D-WI), and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) voted with the Republicans on the former plan.

Feingold? Good guy.
