Dems and the FairTax

I always love listening to rhetoric and then watching the same people who spout it ignore an opportunity to do something about it.  Case in point: I just received a fundraising letter from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.  No, I'm not a Democrat, but I sign up for everyone's email list to keep in touch.  This paragraph struck me as interesting:

We know Cheney has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars this summer and Bush is on the offensive sending emails out for the Republican National Committee. We can't let their special interest friends who are always looking for special favors help them gain on us.

To me, the important sentence is the last one.  (The bold and underlined portion is their doing.) So yes, great to talk about the evil Republicans and their "special interest friends"...but please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!  It's as if the Dems are trying to say that they don't give any "special favors" to their own "special interest" groups! What Hypocrites!

And here is the way I want to call them on this rhetoric.  If they are claiming that they want to do away with the "special favors" being offered in order to raise money, then how about joining us and fighting for the FairTax!!!  Since most of the favors being given are related to tax code loopholes, then join us in eliminating the tax code and replacing it with a system that puts the lobbyists out of business. 

For goodness sakes, don't criticize something you have no intention of fixing.
