Bush campaign falsely accuses Kerry of voting 350 times for tax increases.

When pressed for a list of Kerry's 350 votes, the Bush campaign quickly supplied FactCheck.org with one document listing 352 votes and a second listing an additional 27 votes. But a campaign official cautioned: “It is important to note that these are votes for higher taxes, not necessarily tax increases , meaning it includes votes against tax cuts.” (Emphasis added by FactCheck.org). In other words, what the campaign's manager and chief spokesman had been saying was wrong. And even the President's phrasing -- saying Kerry voted for "higher taxes" 350 times -- is not only misleading but actually misled several news professionals. It's simply untrue that Kerry voted for tax increases 350 times.

The Bush lists of 379 votes is padded with scores of votes Kerry cast against tax decreases (which would leave taxes unchanged, not higher), votes to reduce the size of proposed tax cuts (which would leave taxes lower, though not as much lower as proposed), and “votes for watered-down, Democrat ‘tax cut’ substitutes” (which often proposed to distribute the benefits of tax cuts farther down the income scale than Republican proposals). Thus the Bush campaign counts some votes for tax cuts as votes for "higher taxes."

Is there anything Bush* will not lie about or has lied about? Anything at all?

:puke:

Seriously, people are affraid to admit that sometimes we need higher taxes. The next president to come in will definitely have to raise taxes. No questions about it.

Even under Clinton, before the surpluses were squandered, I still thought we actually needed more taxes, albiet, progressive taxes. There are so many programs that go under funded or worse, not even funded.

In America, we don't have to pay for things we want. We have these things called credit cards, which are really magical money machines, but the dumb0RATS refuse to use them because they hate Jesus. * knows better, which is why he doesn't worry about unimportant things like budget deficits.

and people start to believe it. Isn't this what the Pubbies were accusing Clinton/Gore of doing?
