Mayor Nine Eleveniani: The Democrats want a NANNY government
A nanny government, the kind that wants to control a woman's body, the kind that wants to tell you who you can and can't love, the kind....oh . . .



======

MEREDITH, N.H. - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Monday accused Democrats of favoring a controlling "nanny government" as he continued his bashing of the rival party.

The former New York mayor, opening a two-day campaign trip in the first primary state, also claimed that Democrats would raise taxes between 20 percent to 30 percent. He offered no specifics to back up those figures.

"Democrats are kind of falling over each other seeing who can raise taxes faster," Giuliani said. "It looks like they're going to raise taxes anywhere between 20 to 30 percent. John Edwards just said he's going to raise the capital gains tax double that. Last time we did that, we lost 40 percent in revenue. The last time we did what John Edwards is discussing, the United States lost revenue by basically discouraging people from making investments."...

At a later appearance in Wolfeboro — where rival Mitt Romney has a lakefront summer home — Giuliani said the solution lies in lower taxes.

1. The only question is whether or not the electorate is stupid enough....
... to fall for such obvious up-is-down-ism.

when it cuts you free to deal with insurance companies by yourself. The governments job isn't to help you, Heck not even your own corporation can help you deal with them.
