Cognitive dissonance, anyone?

When you fill out this National Republican Senatorial Committee survey, it takes you to a page asking for donations that features these two talking points:

* Will a Republican Congress working with a Republican President work together to cut wasteful spending and take steps to reduce our country’s debt or will a Democrat Congress and Democrat President spend our way into further debt?

* Will President Bush’s historic tax cuts be made permanent or will Democrats raise our taxes?

Republicans want to reduce the debt and keep the tax cuts. The only way these talking points don’t conflict, of course, is if you believe (falsely) that tax cuts increase revenue. But no one important thinks that!
