Here's The Deal, See
Meanwhile, there's a new set of Bush-Cheney campaign commercials that will be hitting the airwaves, including one that raps Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for his votes in the Senate to increase taxes on Social Security benefits, as well as for the 50-cent-per-gallon federal gas tax. For voters to be reminded that an almost-billionaire like Kerry voted to increase one of the most regressive federal taxes on the books might actually go some distance toward erasing the memory of Richard A. Clarke in their minds. By Ed Moltzen · 26 March 2004

Speaking of gas, if the price breaks the $3/gallon barrier this summer as many are predicting, things are going to get nasty. Not only does it get expensive for Americans to drive, but higher gas prices for businesses are going to be passed along to consumers as well. Kerry will surely blame Bush for this. What's Bush's response going to be? What's he doing now about rising gas prices? Anything? If not, I see this as a potential vulnerability. Posted by: dave at March 26, 2004 04:28 PM |
