Tax Cuts for the Rich v. Protecting the Homeland
This should be repeated over and over by the Kerry and his campaign. In the debate, Kerry laid out specifics on out to improve homeland security and said that "This president thought it was more important to give the wealthiest people in America a tax cut rather than invest in homeland security. Those aren't my values. I believe in protecting America first." Bush's response, "I don't think we want to get to how he's going to pay for all these promises. It's like a huge tax gap. Anyway, that's for another debate." This is a winner for Kerry, GWB would rather give tax cuts to the rich than help protect our homeland.

1. I did like the way he got "values" in there
Once more pointing out to the world that liberals are not the people without values.

2. I agree
You know i heard the other day that Bush is the first leader in recorded world history to ever cut taxes during war time.could over 4000 years of history be wrong?makes me laugh to think this guy is this stupid to not even account for a possibility we would need the revenue if the war gets out of control.
