WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) on Wednesday called for deeper tax cuts for the middle class than proposed by President Bush (news - web sites) and described his Republican critics as "the most crooked ... lying group I've ever seen."


After urging labor leaders to support his campaign to oust the president, Kerry met with onetime rival Howard Dean (news - web sites) to discuss a possible endorsement and what role the former Vermont governor might play in his campaign. Kerry greeted Dean as he arrived at campaign headquarters, and the two joined hands and raised them high for cameras.


Kerry was scheduled to meet with another key rival, John Edwards (news - web sites), on Thursday.


Anticipating their meeting, the Bush campaign issued "Howard Dean's Greatest Hits on John Kerry," a 10-item recounting of Dean criticism of his rival for the nomination. The quotes from news stories include Dean's statement in January that "you're not going to change America by nominating somebody who's a Washington insider whose biggest long suit is talk."

Yeah, let's tar and feather Dean and Kerry by pointing out that they, gasp, ran against each other (and therefore represent different portions of the electorate).

It didn't work on Poppy Bush and it won't work on Dean.

And the party unity will ensue regardless of the pundits' barking.
