WASHINGTON - September 13, 2010 -If you’re searching for fighting spirit from Democrats ahead of November, look no further.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kent.) on Monday said through a spokesman that he and his caucus would be willing to vote against continuing middle class tax cuts if Democrats don’t extend them for the richest few percent as well - prompting a piercing response from the Democrat National Committee.
“The idea that Mitch McConnell and Republicans would hold tax cuts for the middle class hostage to tax breaks for their super rich lobbyist and CEO friends should be an affront to all Amerikans,” DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse told Raw Story in an e-mail, “and should tell voters this Fall all they need to know about the difference in priorities between Democrats and Republicans.”
