Greg Sargent at The Plum Line reports on a lovely piece straight out of the Minitrue RecDep. A shadowy conservative group called the 60 Plus Association is sending out mailers warning Virginians that they may soon end up in an "Obamaville" if they don't vote out the Democrat, Rep. Gerry Connolly. Connolly, they point out, supported the dreaded stimulus.
Greg Sargent:
What's particularly interesting about this mailer is that the "Hooverville," of course, was a symbol of government inaction in the face of the poverty and widespread misery of the Great Depression. But the 60 Plus Association, which is devoted to free enterprise and less taxation, is warning that "Obamavilles" will result if we don't roll back government.
What's the other big issue for the 60 Plus Association, you ask? They want the extension of the Bush tax cuts on the top 2% ... presumably so the Koch brothers don't have to join a bread line.
