The ghosts of the Republican Party’s Past seem to be cropping up to the displeasure of current GOP representatives who have to face their constituents. From ThinkProgress:
Last week, Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-IL) held a town hall meeting in Geneva, Illinois where he was peppered with questions about the Bush tax cuts. A woman stood up and asked him to explain how the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy created jobs for Americans.
Hultgren repeatedly avoided answering the question, instead choosing to bash the stimulus or claim Illinois’ economy was hurt by higher taxes. Members of the audience continually asked him “Where’s the evidence?” but he avoided providing any answer.
They just can’t shake off those George W. Bush blues.
