ten,
re: One theory is that Bush is trying to take issues away from the Democrats so they can't accuse him of "taking drugs away from seniors," or "not protecting jobs at steel plants," or "not caring about the AIDS epidemic in Africa."
Some would call that a sell-out of principles. Not that that surprises me on either side.
re: Instead, they're preaching higher taxes, which they're selling as "rollbacks of Bush's tax cuts to the 'rich'."
Well, that's essentially what they want to do, right?
re: Of course, they're also trying to tell the public that tax cuts caused the current recession, which no one but the intellectually bankrupt would believe.
I've never heard anyone say that, then again, I'm not paying that much attention.
re: Bottom line is that the deficit isn't really that high on the priority list for either party, nor is it for most of the public.
I think that the Democrats will make it a big issue. And I think it is a big issue with the public. I'm always amazed when the polls show that most people don't want tax cuts if it means deficits.
re: Heck, they can't really tell the difference these days, so what's the point?
With that, I agree 100%
